Ⅰ.阅读理解
For many years, scientists and animal lovers have worked to make the world safer for endangered species (濒危物种).Now, there is something that needs protection from these protected animals—a famous French cheese called Roquefort, known as the “King of Cheeses”．
Roquefort is made from sheep's milk in the southern part of the French mountains.Farmers have been making Roquefort for thousands of years, and they follow many rules when making it, to be sure that it is done in the traditional way.One of the rules is that they must let their sheep live freely in the mountains.
However, following these rules has become very dangerous.Wolves have moved into the area, and they have killed 62 sheep.The wolves are an endangered species, and have not been seen in the French mountains since the 1920s.No one is allowed to kill the wolves, but the farmers are now saying it is impossible for their sheep to live in the same mountains as the wolves.Farmers have dogs to protect the sheep and have also built electric fences (电栅栏), but they say they will not have enough money to continue making Roquefort once they have spent it all on keeping their sheep safe.Many people have said that wolves that attack sheep should be killed, since they have become a threat to the farmers' jobs.Others think that anyone who wants the wolves killed is trying to make them become extinct.
Maybe it would not be a problem if Roquefort became extinct instead, and the wolves were able to live in the mountains.But then the farmers would not have jobs.Will the people of Southern France be able to find a way that protects both the wolves and the King of Cheeses Let's wait and see.

Where Are “the Giant Panda Under Water”？
The Yangtze River dolphin is a species of small whale, which lives in the Yangtze River 【1】， well-known as “the giant panda under water”．
Much to our sadness, on account of pollution and habitat loss, the population of the Yangtze River dolphin is on the sharp decrease, with only 2,000 left up to now 【2】. The species is in danger of dying out, which has become our great concern.
Though some measures have been taken 【3】， that's far from enough. We should make even greater efforts to protect them.
