Everyone knows animals are our friends. So we should be friendly to them. But some people kill the rare animals, such as pandas, golden monkeys and so on in order to get money. It will cause these animals to disappear soon.

Perhaps the most famous rare animal is panda. Twenty years ago it was nearly extinct (灭绝的). Now, its n1. are growing again. It is even a symbol for wildlife conservation (保存，保护). But many other species have not been as l2. as the panda. Some are already extinct. Today, many more are in serious danger. This is because man hurts them and d3. their habitat. Is it too late to save wildlife?

A serious habitat problem arises (出现) because of pollution or o4. new lands. Habitats take many years to grow again. When the wild animals lose their homes, the natural balance is also changed. If one animal, bird, or insect d5., all the others suffer, too.

This is what is happening in the forests of South America. Africa and Asia. Habitats and animals are disappearing in Europe, too. Since 1947 in Britain, for example, 50% of the woods, low wet land, and 95% of meadows have disappeared. And what has taken the place of these green, natural places? Houses, farms, cities, streets, roads, and factories. Because of this (and pollution too) several British species are dying.

Then, what is the s6. ? There is only one way to save wild animals and wild habitats – conservation. This means man should protect animals in danger by establishing law, opening more national parks, building fewer new roads, planting more forests, and cutting pollution. If not, many wild animals will soon have just one habitat—the zoo!\

If everyone is involved in the p7. of wild life, we’re sure man will be a good friend of animals rather than their enemy.

Hamams, or bath houses, are a traditional part of Turkish (土耳其的) culture. They represent an important piece of Turkey's long history and serve as a window into the past. However, these bath houses are quickly　 d1. because of the changing habits of the Turkish people.

Hamams hold a strong place in the history of Turkey and many date back hundreds of years. Traditionally, all kinds of people went 10 hamams because Islam has strict laws for cleanliness. Believers must w2.themselves regularly, especially before their daily prayers (祷告): As most people in Turkey didn't have running water in their homes, the Hamam was the perfect place to get clean, r3. and catch up with friends.

Today, h 4., the tradition of going to the hamam is dying out for many young people. Now almost everyone has running water in their bathrooms, so they prefer to bathe at home. As a r5., Turkish people are not going to hamams as often as they used to. These days, instead of relying on locals, many hamams are trying to attract f6.tourists

A typical process at a hamam can last well over an hour. Visitors will be welcomed into entrance hall. There they will be able to relax with friends and chat over a cup of tea. They will also be able to change into the Turkish towel, which wraps around the waist like a skirt. When ready, visitors will head into the hot room. There they will lie on the hot floor and be scrubbed clean and massaged by one of the in-house masseurs or masseuses. Men and women always bathe separately (分开地)，but their experiences are very s7.

Although many hamams are in danger of closing, they will always remain a part of Turkish culture. An experience in one of Istanbul' s famous bath houses should not be missed on any visit to Turkey. It will certainly leave you refreshed, relaxed, and squeaky clean for your next adventure.

For example, we could play computer games to teach Maths, or make simple flashes to show how magnets behave. Also, students could take photos outdoors and then use them for writing tasks.

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.

I recently took part in a very exciting five-week trip for teenagers, to volunteer at an international wildlife study centre, off the coast of a country far from where I live. The a1. of the center was to help protect wildlife. So the project I signed up for included attending classes about wildlife, and going on daily dives under water to collect important information for the scientists back at the centre.

We were w2. by staff about our accommodation（食宿）before we arrived at the center. Sure enough, when we got there, we were shown to some small wooden huts where we would live. They were quite b3.: no indoor washroom and no fridge, so our meals were all vegetarian. However, I hadn’t eaten meat for years, so it was perfect for me.

The day after our arrival, we started our t4.-learning the names of all the different fish, and how to count and describe them in a way that would be useful to the scientists. We also learnt about a very important underwater creature called coral. However, this creature is now in danger because of problems such as global warming. So a5. we did very little work involving the coral itself, we really felt our work in helping local sea creatures was essential.

Every day at the study centre was amazing, but there was one in particular when I was under the water as usual, with my ‘diving buddy’，collecting data on the fish in the area. I s6. looked up-and found myself face to face with two absolutely beautiful fish. My partner and I decided to spend our last few minutes under the water with these amazing creatures. As we got nearer to the fish, they didn’t seem at all w7. about us, and just watched us in an interesting way, before swimming off towards the coral reef. Unforgettable!
