Do you want to do something for wildlife but don"t quite know what? Or how? Would you like to
make new friends who share your interest in environmental protection? Just go to www. China. org/kids,
a website run by World Wildlife Fund (WWF) China.
The first section to look at is "Help Make a Difference", which offers information and interesting
cartoon pictures on how to make the world a better place. There is everything from tips on how to
help keep endangered species (濒危物种) alive to advice about recycling and saving natural resources.
In "Chit-Chat", you can communicate with people from all over the world who care about the
environment through the message board.If you want to take part in some interactive (互动的) activities,
you can enter the art competition in "Through Your Hands" section. All you need to do is to think of an
activity that can help the environment and paint a picture on how people should do about it.
1979 was World Conservation (自然保护) Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know
that the world is in danger. They hoped that governments would go into action (采取行动) quickly
in order to conserve nature. Here is one example of the problems. At one time there were l,300
different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 860 remain. The others have been
destroyed by modern man and his technology (技术). We are changing the earth, the air and the water,
and everything that grows and lives. We can"t live without these plants. lf we continue like this, we will
destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask "What must we do now?"
The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know
that conservation is necessary. Many are helping td save our world. They plant trees, build bridges
across rivers in forests, and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned
the banks of 11 kilometers of their river. Young people may hear about conversation" through a record
called No one"s going to change our world. It was made by the Beatles, Cliff Richard and other singers.
The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.
Someday little cars may take the place of today"s cars. If everyone 1
such a little car in the future, and less pollution in the air, there will be more
parking space in cities,and the streets will be 2 crowded.The space now
for one car of" the usual size can hold 3one such little car.
The little cars will 4 much less to own and to drive. Driving will
be 5 too, because these little cars can go only 50 kilometres an hour.
The cars of the future will be fine for going 6 the city, but they will not
be useful for going far away.The little car needs only two batteries (电池)
—one battery for the motor, and 7 for the horn and the lights.If we
still 8 the big cars along with the small ones,we will need to 9 two
kinds of roads. Some roads will be used 10 the big fast cars, and others
will be needed for the small , slower ones.
