The polar bear is a very big white bear. We call it the polar bear because it lives inside the Arctic Circle near the North Pole. There are no polar bears at the South Pole.
The polar bear lives in the snow and ice. At the North Pole, there is only snow, ice and water. There is not any land. People cannot see the polar bear in the snow very well because its coat is yellow-white. It has a very warm coat because the weather is cold in the north of the Arctic Circle.
This bear is three meters long, and it weighs 450 kilos. Despite its size, it is a very fast runner. It can stand up on its back legs because it has very wide feet. It can use its front legs like arms. The polar bear can also swim very well. It can swim 120 kilometers out into the water. It catches fish and sea animals for food.
The polar bear is usually shy. It goes into the sea when it is afraid. However, it is known to be dangerous when attacked.
A female polar bear gives birth to one to four cubs at a time in the winter and the cubs stay with their mother for up to three years.
Polar bears are endangered because some people want to kill them for their beautiful white coat. The number of polar bears declined from several hundred thousand to a few hundred in a few years. People do not want all of these beautiful animals to die. To protect them，the governments of the United States and Russia say that no one is allowed to kill polar bears now.

Once there were many thousands of Gourma Desert (沙漠) elephants in Mali, a country in West Africa. Now, there are fewer than four hundred.
Why did the number of the elephants drop so quickly On the one hand, the elephants’ main lake, their only water source (来源), dried up. On the other hand, the land which the elephants lived on was overused by humans.
To protect the elephants’ living environment, the Mali Elephant Project (MEP) was started in 2007. MEP met with local people and helped them make rules of using land and water. As a result, the situation became better and there was more food, forest and grassland.
However, from 2012 to 2016, poaching (偷猎) and illegal trade in the elephants increased rapidly. Eighty-three elephants were lost in 2015 alone, and another fifty-one elephant were killed in 2016. “If this situation goes on, all the Gourma elephants will be killed by 2020,” said a member of MEP.
Luckily, the voice of MEP was heard. More organizations (组织) have joined together to educate the local people that trading elephants is against the law. Elephant poaching has dropped to a very low level. The local people have learned to live peacefully with the elephants, one of the wildlife treasures in the world.
21．MEP was started to ________.
A．raise more elephants in Mali B．stop the main lake from drying up
C．discover water source for elephants D．protect the elephants’ living environment

24．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A．the number of organizations has dropped B．there is much less elephant poaching now
C．the local people keep the elephants at home D．the whole world live peacefully with elephants
25．This passage is mainly about ________.
A．the rules of using land and water B．the education of the local people
C．the work of Mali Elephant Project D．the situation of Gourma Desert elephants

How to protect endangered animals
We have known many endangered animals. However, how should we protect them In my opinion, the first way to protect them is to learn about them as much as possible. If we know more about them and their living places, it is much easier for us to help them. Then, many organizations are fighting to save endangered animals, so join one. Next, to save these animals, we mustn't destroy their living places and capture their food. If they have enough places to live and food to eat, they will live well. Last, don't use products made of fur and leather.
Animals are our friends. Let's take actions to protect the endangered animals!
