Wildlife faces threats (威胁) from habitat destruction, pollution, and other human actions. Although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals. Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions.
1. Create wildlife friendly areas in your backyard.
When trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter to native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. And bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract and shelter these species.
2. Avoid harming the natural ecosystem(生态系统)in your area.
Some plants from other places can kill or harm native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife.
3. Have a greener lifestyle.
By using less water and fewer fuels, you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you. Take buses or the subway when you can, turn off electric devices when you’re not using them, take shorter showers, and keep your room temperature at or below 68 Fahrenheit degrees during the winter.
4. Buy products that are wildlife friendly.
Don’t buy products that are made from endangered animals. Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, catches or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.
5. Donate money or time to organizations that protect wildlife and their habitats.
You can give money to organizations or groups that protect wildlife species in your neighborhood.

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him food, wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought (干旱) and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.
Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.
Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich top soil in which crops grow. When all the top soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。这篇短文从三个方面告诉我们树对人类来说是重要的。一是树可以为人类和动物提供食物、木材和其他产品; 二是树可以给人类提供树荫; 三是树木可以防止干旱和洪水。因此我们要多植树, 注意保护树木。

【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第一段Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him food、wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought and floods. (树木对人类有三个非常重要的作用: 它们为人类提供食物、木材和其他产品; 它们给人类提供树荫; 它们有助于防止干旱和洪水。)以及第二段Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. (不幸的是, 在世界上许多地方, 人类还没有意识到第三种服务是最重要的。)由此可知, 树对人类的用处主要有三方面, 其中最重要的是它们能保护人类免受干旱和洪水。
