keeping a pet?Why or why not?2.Which kind of animal would suit you best as a pet?第32页Text AFINDING THE BEST PET FOR YOUTake time to learn all you need to know about the animal of your choice before bringing one home.CATSCats are independent and easy pets to care for.And,as long as you are not buying a purebred,they are economical pets,too.Cats require little actual day-to-day care.They clean and groom themselves,tend to be self-reliant,and are usually happy to stay out of your way.But they can also be cuddly,playful,affectionate creatures when they are interested.Finding a kitten is usually easy,and they are often free.第33页Text A DOGSDogs are generally eager to please,affectionate,and loyal,but they demand lots of time and attention.They need plenty of exercise and thrive on interaction with their owners.Daily walks,frequent baths,and feeding are a must.Dogs range in price from free to quite expensive for some breeds.If you decide to buy a purebred,research the various dog breeds to find the best match for your household.第34页Text ARABBITSRabbits love to run,are very sociable and intelligent,and most are quite adorable.When deciding whether a rabbit is the pet for you,keep in mind that they require daily attention and care,much like dogs.A rabbit should get lots of exercise,live in a dry spot in your home,and get time out of its cage.Rabbits are not costly to purchase or care for,though its important to keep fresh hay and leafy greens on hand for them to eat.HAMSTERSHamsters are easy pets for practically any family.They are amusing,affable,and cute.Hamsters have simple needs and are cheap to buy and to keep.Provide a dry living space outfitted with a gnawing log and a hiding place,and a hamster is content.第35页Text ABIRDSBirds have been blessed with lovely voices,though they are not quiet pets.Despite this,they are intelligent companions that are growing in popularity because they are pretty and quite independent.Caring for birds is not difficult,but they do have special needs.They like to be active and to be challenged,and they must be housed in a place that is not too hot or too cold.Most love human interaction or other bird companions.They should all be released from their cages periodically to explore theirsurroundings.Birds can be quite costly to purchase,depending on which bird you buy,but the cost of caring for a bird is quite low.第36页Text ASNAKESIf you are the average person,this is not the pet you want.Snakes require careful attention and owners with special knowledge to care for them.Before you buy a snake,consider that it may grow up to weigh twice what you do and refuse to eat anything but live animals such as mice or insects,which you will need to provide.Temperature and lighting must be controlled,and the snakes enclosure must be secure.Snakes range from being placid and docile to aggressive,depending on the individual snake.They can be fairly costly to purchase and to maintain.第37页Text AFISHFish fit well in almost any type of household.They are quiet,generally peaceful,and,depending on your tastes,not expensive to buy or to shelter.Care is relatively simple and involves monitoring water and food.Usually,the biggest expense involves an aquarium,some of which can be very expensive.For those who do not want exotic,pricey fish,a simple,adequately built aquarium will do and costs much less.第38页3ExercisesExercise AExercise B第43页Exercise AComplete the chart with information from the reading.PetPersonality traits Care/special needs CostCatsindependent,self-relianteasy to care

Exercises第48页Warm-up1.What are some endangered animals you can think of?2.What are some threats to those endangered animals survival?第49页Text BProtecting Our Natural InheritanceThe earth is rich in biodiversity with millions of different species of plants and animals.However,many species are disappearing at an alarming rate.Biodiversity is reduced when ecosystems are modified and habitats of plants and animals are destroyed.The one species that is causing this phenomenon is the same one that can stop it humans.Many scientists view the current wave of species extinctions as unrivaled since the disappearance of the dinosaurs,more than 65 million years ago.Currently,around 11 000 species of plants and animals are at risk of disappearing forever this includes over 180 mammals.第50页Text BMany species cling to survival.Found only in China,the giant pandas habitat has been decimated the old-growth bamboo forests where the pandas make their home are being destroyed rapidly.It is estimated that as few as 1 600 giant pandas remain in the wild today.In the Arctic,the polar bears icy habitat is disappearing as a result of global warming,and its survival is at risk.And in Central and East Africa,which have endured decades of civil war,the mountain gorilla population now totals just over 700 individuals.If present trends continue,humanity stands to lose a large portion of its natural inheritance.Extinction is one environmental problem that is truly irreversible once gone,these species cannot be brought back.第51页Text BWhat can be done?World Wildlife Fund(WWF),the global conservation organization,has been working since 1961 to conserve the diversity of life on earth.In recent years,WWF has advanced giant panda conservation by training more than 300 panda reserve staff and local government officials,working with the community to help save habitat and guard against illegal hunting.By spreading awareness of the danger of carbon dioxide emissions,and by promoting the use of renewable energy resources such as wind and solar power,WWF is trying to head off the effects of global warming,giving the polar bear a chance to survive.With the help of other organizations in Africa,WWF has established a system to monitor the status of mountain gorillas in order to be able to address potential threats.第52页Text BWhy care about endangered animals?There are many reasons for protecting endangered species,including our own survival.Many of our foods and medicines come from wild species,and each wild species depends on a particular habitat for its food and shelter,and ultimately its survival.If one species in an ecosystem disappears,other species
