How would you describe the relationship between people and urban animals in the passage
I think people and urban animals are interrelated in the passage. On one hand, the animals entering cities may cause the loss of human property and pose a risk to personal safety. On the other hand, people could also destroy the habitats of animals to some extent and even threaten their lives.
2. What figure of speech is used in the first paragraph Why does the author choose to start the passage this way
In the first paragraph, the author uses personification (拟人) to describe what urban animals are doing, with the aim of attracting readers’ attention.

3. Some environmentalists argue that we should restrict urban development to leave enough natural habitats for wild animals. Do you agree with this Give your reasons.
I agree that we should restrict urban development to leave enough natural habitats for wild animals. As the range of human beings grow, people need more land and resources, which may lead to human habitations overlapping(重叠) with those of wild animals. Faced with such conflicts, human beings often choose to reduce the habitats of animals or drive them out of their habitats, which eventually, may lead to the extinction of some wild animals.
Give some suggestions that you believe are good for both urban development and wildlife conservation.
Thank you!
