animal bamboo in danger kill nature reserve
The first problem is to know why we need to protect animals. Some are (1) in danger because they don’t have enough food. For example, the panda mainly eats (2) bamboo. The Chinese government’s plan is to provide more (3) nature reserves for the panda. For other animals, such as tigers and whales, the difficulty is to stop people (4) killing them. Another important thing is to keep the earth clean. We must not pollute rivers or cut down forests. We all need air and clean water.

We have come to Around the world again. This time we read about animals in danger.
But first listen to the passage, paying attention to the pronunciation, stress, and the intonation of the native speakers.

Now it is time to read the passage. While reading try to cut(断句)/ the sentences into parts, blacken（涂黑） the predicates, shade（加影） the connectives and underline （划线）the expressions.
