山东省菏泽市2024年中考英语真题
Orangutan means "person of the forest" in the Malay language. Orangutans are great apes (猿). Wild orangutans live on two islands—Sumatra and Borneo in Southeast Asia. Orangutans have long and powerful arms, fingers and toes. These help them climb and swing between trees in the rainforest.
Orangutans mostly eat fruit. They also eat leaves, flowers, and sometimes insects. Over 300 different types of food have been found in their diet. Orangutans play a very important role in spreading fruit and plant seeds in the forest. This helps to keep their rainforest home healthy.
Orangutans are smart and intelligent. They create and use tools to get seeds from fruit. They also use tools to catch insects from the insides of trees. Orangutans memorize the rainforest where they live. This helps them know which trees have ripe (成熟的) fruit. They build a sleeping nest each night made of branches (树枝) and leaves.
However, orangutans are in great danger. Scientists say that there are less than 62, 000 orangutans remaining in the wild. Young orangutans are sometimes caught and sold as pets. Orangutans are also hunted for food. The biggest problem is that orangutans are losing their homes. Millions of rainforests are cut down each year for palm oil (棕榈油). Palm oil can be used to make candy bars, cookies, shampoos, soaps, and pet food. Most of the palm oil produced in the world is from Sumatra and Borneo.
Wildlife organizations are working hard to help protect the remaining rainforests. If the rainforests disappear, orangutans will disappear forever.
Do you ever wish you had more time? Everyone gets 24 hours in a day. But here are some ways to help you use those hours more efficiently (有效率地).
Set priorities (优先级）
Setting priorities is the best way to manage your time exactly. Consider whether your tasks are important or not and find out which one should be done right away.
Make a timetable
Decide what you're going to do at a certain time each day. A well-organized timetable can not only help you improve your working speed but also make you feel less stressed.
Choose a suitable time
Think about the time when you have the most energy during the day. Are you more energetic in the morning or afternoon? Do hard work when you feel good and leave simple one when you are tired.
Make lists
Write down when to do and what to do. I keep two to-do lists: one for aims of today and the other for the projects I'm working on. The lists remind me that I won't forget anything. They also help me pay more attention to the shorter list.
Give up something
Managing time sometimes means giving up doing something you like. When you're ready to start a new task, think carefully. Is it really worth spending your time? Could someone else do it instead?
As a saying goes, "Work smarter, not harder." If you want to make full use of your time, make a plan and stick to it.
