protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.
Tibetan Antelopes
Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are
usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine
and can be made into expensive clothes. Although people can get the wool without killing the
animals, people simply kill them before taking the wool. The number of them is dropping year by
year. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years
ago.
Golden Monkeys
Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi provinces and Shengnongjia
mountainous area of Hubei Province. Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur. They move around
in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed
on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But people are destroying the environment where they live.
Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.
Elephans
Elephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animals on land. They are
grey and have long trunks and tusks. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell.
They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks. Elephants are very friendly
towards each other and towards their neighbours. Normally, they live in a group for many years.
Young male elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 years old. Now, there are
very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because
their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks.
Wolves
Wolves are not very big. They have grey fur. Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and
smell. Wolves" food is vavious. They eat animals, insects and snails. They are friendly to each
other and never attack people. They do not kill for fun. Wolves are in danger, too. They are losing
their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.

The Venus flytrap is not a large plant. It grows to be only about a foot tall. The plant has white
flowers in the spring, but it is the plant"s leaves that make it so interesting. The ends of the leaves have
folding parts with stiff, tiny hairs (带小硬刺的可折叠部分). These are the plant"s "traps (捕捉器)".
What does the Venus flytrap eat? As you might guess, the Venus flytrap eats flies (苍蝇). It also
eats spiders, ants, and crickets. The Venus flytrap makes most of its food with sun, air, and water,
just like other plants. Living things just give it extra nutrition (营养) to grow well in wetlands.
How does this plant trap and eat living things? The Venus flytrap uses a sweet liquid (液体) to
attract its food. When a fly lands on one of the plant"s open traps, hairs on the surface make the trap
closed. As soon as the trap closes, the fly is dinner!
If you want to have your own Venus flytrap at home, you have to buy the plant from a special place.
