Now some animals are in great danger in the world.
Snow leopards(雪豹) live in the cold mountains of Central Asia.They're from the cat family.A snow leopard is smaller than a lion or a tiger，but it's still a very large cat.An adult snow leopard is often more than two meters long.They like to live and look for food alone.Now some people kill snow leopards to get their beautiful fur(毛皮)．
Tigers also come from the cat family.They feed on small animals such as deer and sheep.Tigers are in danger now，because some people cut down the forests and catch them.People kill tigers also for their beautiful fur.In 1939，there were about 30，000 tigers in India.But today there are only 3，000.
Elephants live in big forests.An Asian elephant's ears are much smaller than an African elephant's.Elephants need lots of places to live in and to find food.There are only less than 3，000 Ceylon elephants(a kind of Asian elephant) in the world now.

Most animals need a way to hide (隐藏)．Some have to hide from larger animals.Most have to hide from human beings.But what's the best way for an animal to hide？Sea lions can go under the water.Bears can hide inside holes in trees.But some animals have even quicker ways to hide.They just stay right where they are.
Certain fish can change their colors when they need to.They can become green，blue or brown.Then they can't be seen.Other fish think they are just grass，sand or rocks.
An animal's shape can help it hide，too.The bittern (麻鹭) is a bird.Its body is long and thin.The bittern lives in tall grass.The long，thin bird looks just like the grass around it.You can look at the grass all day，but you may never see the bird that is hiding there.
Kids，what if you want to hide？What would be the best way？Would you hide in a box of toys？Would you hide under a bed？Think of how animals hide.Maybe you should hide in a room where there are lots of other children.

Rock climbing(攀岩) did not become a sport until late in the 1900s.Now it has become a popular activity.
If you have ever done rock climbing，you will know that it is not a very easy sport.Both indoor rock climbing and outdoor rock climbing need a lot of practice.What most people don't know is that rock climbing is one of the sports that depend on your body and mind.
To climb successfully，you must know about some rules.One important rule is to always have three parts of your body on the rock face.Another important rule is that your arms only hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you up.The third rule is that the closer you are to the rock face，the easier it is to climb.
Rock climbing is a wonderful sport.Once you start to learn how to climb，you'll find more fun.People who like games such as playing chess and cards may also love rock climbing，because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking.For anyone who wants to be in good shape(体形)，rock climbing is a fun and good way.Anyone who enjoys difficult games and loves sports could think of rock climbing as a new hobby.
根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
( )1.When did rock climbing become a sport
A．In 1900. B．Before 1900. C．Early in the 1900s. D．Late in the 1900s.

Mongolia is in Asia between Russia and China. It is one of the world’s highest countries. Mongolia’s temperature can change as much as 35 degrees in one day. The country is very dry and receives only about four inches of rainfall per year. Southern Mongolia is dominated (占据) by the Gobi, which is one of the coldest deserts on Earth and is 1,295,000 square kilometers.
Bactrian camels and Mongolian horses are important in Mongolia. They are small but can stand the bad weather. The Gobi is expanding (扩大). Every year, about 1,400 square miles of new desert are added. As land is becoming less and less, wildlife is in danger in Mongolia.
Many Mongolians live in yurts, which look like tents (帐篷). Yurts look the same as ordinary houses inside, including everything houses have. Mongolia’s largest festival, Naadam, is in summer and focuses on sports, games and food. Children also join in some of the sports, including the horse race. Many people still raise animals and eat a lot of meat and milk products.
