Bears perform under the lights each evening. In order to train a bear to walk on two feet, bears are chained(铁链锁住) by the neck to the wall when they are young to strengthen their leg muscles.
Humans share the earth with different kinds of wildlife. However, many of our animal and plant friends may not be around for much longer.
According to the first report on biodiversity (生多样性) released by the United Nations in May 2019, 1 million of earth’s species are in danger of extinction (灭绝).
Humans are mainly to blame for this, according to the report. The world’s population has more than doubled (from 3.7 to 7.6 billion) in the last 50 years. Humans have used more than a third of the world’s land and 75 percent of freshwater supplies (供应) to grow crops and keep livestock (牲畜). As a result, there are fewer habitats and natural resources available for animals.
Last year alone at least 20,000 African elephants were killed for their teeth. In South Africa over the last two years more than 2,200 rhinos were killed for their horns.

Exposition
What is the writing order
What is a pangolin
[para1] Do you know what a pangolin is A baby panda A special fruit grown in Indonesia Well, it seems the pangolin is well known in the black market trade. That’s right, the pangolin is a mammal (哺乳动物). There are eight variations of the pangolin from Asia and Africa.
Variation is something that is slightly different from the usual form.
How many kinds of pangolins are there in the world
Why do people seldom know this animal
[para2] People seldom know this animal because you’re unlikely to see a pangolin in a zoo. No wild animal enjoys being caged (放笼子), neither does a pangolin. If caged, they become depressed and die early.
[para3] People don’t know much about them. We know they eat ants, but their diet may include all kinds of other bugs. We don’t know how long they live in the wild or much about their breeding habits. They are mammals of mystery.
If someone is depressed, he is unhappy and without hope.
Mystery is something strange or not known.
Pangolins are our friends. They eat over 70 kinds of ants. Every year a pangolin can eat 7, 000, 000 harmful ants. This helps protect our forests. When pangolins find one family of ants, they just eat a half and leave the other half to live. How kind the little animals are!
People’re unlikely to see a pangolin because they don’t like being caged.
Being caged causes the depression and early death of pangolins.
Why do people seldom know this animal
Problems pangolins are facing
[para4] Pangolins are now among the most endangered(濒危的)mammals. The Pangolin will roll up in a ball when in danger. Although pangolins have tough scales, they are easily picked up by hunters. Wildlife organizations say at least 100,000 pangolins are killed each year. They are sold up to $3000 a kilo.
How do pangolins protect themselves when they are in danger
Think: Even the lions couldn’t bite it, so who are likely to kill them
Can the lion eat the pangolin
Discussion: Why are pangolins killed
The number of pangolin trafficking is shocking. Experts believe that over the last 10 years more than 1 million pangolins were taken from the wild. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 81,250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in last year alone.
What can we do to save the pangolin?
[para5] Pangolins are now in danger. We should take action right away. There are admirable and hardworking people who are stopping the illegal pangolin trade and running rehabilitation centers (康复中心) in Asia. There is World Pangolin Day and you can buy a “save pangolins” T-shirt online.
Rehabilitation centers help someone or something return to a good condition.
What are people doing to save pangolins
Para 5:
1. stop illegal trade
2. run rehabilitation centers in Asia
3. set World Pangolin Day
[para6] It may not be as cute as a panda, or as strong as a rhino. They’re shy and non-aggressive. Some people call them nicknames like “modern day dinosaur” because of their tough scales. By the way, their super sticky tongue can be longer than their body, ideal for scooping up(铲;舀) ants.
[para7] So now the panda is off the endangered list, let’s dedicate some of our animal love to this bizarre (奇特的), misunderstood animal.
