More and more birds are flying to settle at Qinghai Lake,one of the highest inland lakes in China,thanks to the protection efforts of the local government.Covering an area of over 4,000 square kilometers,Qinghai Lake is also the country’s biggest salt lake.
Located in Northwest China’s Qinghai Province,the lake is famous for the two islands at its northwest point—Cormorant Island and Egg Island.The two islands have plenty of floating grass and various schools of fish,offering rich food sources to birds.The islands have become a dreamland for different kinds of groups of birds and have been called “Bird Islands”.
Each March and April,when ice and snow covering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau(高原) start to melt,over 20 kinds of birds fly to the Bird Islands to lay eggs.During the months,flocks of birds cover the whole sky over the islands and bird eggs can be found everywhere.Visitors can hear the singing of birds from miles away.These have become a world-famous symbol of the lake.
To protect this dreamland for birds and support calls for ecological protection,China set up the Qinghai Lake National Natural Reserve at the end of 1997.Meanwhile,the State has pointed out the Bird Islands and Spring Bay of Qinghai Lake were central protection zones.
Inspectors and conservators often patrol the lake,enriching local residents’ knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors.They are making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds.At the same time,they have built special fences around the island area to prevent wolves,foxes and other carnivorous animals,as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds’ building nests,laying eggs and breeding.As a result,more and more birds are coming to the islands for sheltering and breeding.

The great success of Finding Dory is being met with mixed feelings by experts.That’s because though the movie can draw attention to our weak coral reefs(珊瑚礁) that need protection,it may lead to further damage to life at sea.
After the movie Finding Nemo came out,the clownfish(小丑鱼) became popular with every kid in America.As a result,the number of clownfish in the wild greatly dropped.Blue tangs(蓝吊鱼) also became popular pets because of the movie.Sadly,most blue tangs are caught with the help of cyanide(氰化物).
Cyanide works on the fish,allowing them to be easily caught and sold to pet stores.Cyanide is harmful to humans.It also harms coral and other life at sea.Even the fish that are caught by using cyanide are harmed.Many end up dying within months of being brought to the store.
It is not allowed to sell fish that have been caught using cyanide in the US.However,a 2008 study discovered that up to 90% of the 11 million pet fish brought into the country each year have been caught using this harmful fishing method.More recently,two researchers Craig Downs and Rene Umberger did a study to test if the fish sold in US pet stores had been harmed by cyanide.They found that of the 100 fish bought from stores in California,Hawaii,Maryland,North Carolina,and Virginia,over half,including the blue tangs,had cyanide in their body.
To help people make better decisions when looking for fish for their kids,the researchers made a free mobile app,called Tank Watch—the app helps people to know whether a fish has been caught using illegal fishing methods.
The World Wildlife Foundation is asking fans of the movie not to “Find” Dory,but to “Protect” the beautiful fish!This means not rushing out and buying a blue tang after watching the film.As Ellen Degeneres,voice actress for Dory,says,the movie is not about “Finding” Dory,but about “putting it back to the ocean”.
5.What makes experts worried after the movie Finding Dory came out
A.That people may not like it.
B.That the clownfish will disappear.
C.That people may rush out to buy a “Dory”.

B.Blue tangs are very popular in the US.
C.Cyanide is not allowed to use in the US.
D.Many pet fish in the US are caught by using cyanide.
7.Tank Watch would most probably be used by people who want to .
A.buy a pet fish online
B.catch fish more easily
C.talk about movies with others
D.avoid buying illegally-caught fish
8.What should we do according to what Ellen Degeneres says
