This cute little African penguin is called Lucas. He 【小题1】 in San Diego Zoo in the US. He is learning to w【小题2】 with special shoes. Lucas has a health problem called bumblefoot (禽掌炎). It gives Lucas cuts (伤口) on his f【小题3】. When he walks, it is painful (疼痛的), and the cuts can even kill h【小题4】.

So, zoo workers make these shoes f【小题5】 him. The zoo wants to h【小题6】 more African penguins. Their n【小题7】 in the wild has gone down in the past few years. This i【小题8】 because of human activity, according to the z【小题9】. Our school asks us s【小题10】 to do our best to protect (保护) animals.

How to Protect the Environment

Problem: water pollution

● Don’t w【小题1】 any water in daily life. Use it for more than one time if possible.

● Factories should clean the d【小题2】 water before putting it into rivers.

Problem: air pollution

● Factories should change the ways of production that make pollution.

Go to work by bus or bike i【小题3】 of by car.

● Plant more trees in cities. Don’t destroy the f【小题4】 because they are home to animals and they produce clean air for humans to breathe.

Problem: animals dying out

● Build more zoos to keep e【小题5】 animals.

● Refuse to buy some products which are made of animals’ fur.

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waster every day and it is 【小题1】 (harm) to our environment. In fact, we can do something to help. Even the 【小题2】 (simple) everyday activities can make a real 【小题3】 (different) to the environment. Here are some ideas for you 【小题4】 (live) a green life. Remember these three words; reduce, reuse and recycle.

Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and 【小题5】 (reduce) pollution. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary. When we do buy thing, please 【小题6】 (choose) local products (产品) if possible, and try not 【小题7】 (buy) too many things from foreign countries.

Reuse means “use again”. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last.

Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s’ better than 【小题8】 (throw) things away or burning them. Find out what can 【小题9】 (recycle) in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programs. We should also buy products 【小题10】 (make) from recycled materials.
