Cheetahs, the world's fastest animals, died out in India over 70 years ago. Now a new project is trying to bring cheetahs back to India. Eight of the animals were set free in Kuno National Park in September2022.
By 1952, cheetahs died out in this country. One of the main reasons was that people took away much of their natural land. Some people also killed Cheetahs for their skins.
Since 1952, there have been efforts(努 力) to return cheetahs to India. Recently, that finally happened. In an event held on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 72nd birthday, eight cheetahs were set free. The cheetahs were a gift from Namibia's government.
These cheetahs aren't Asian cheetahs, but African cheetahs. There may be as few as 12 Asian cheetahs still living in the wild, and they live in Iran. But even African cheetah numbers have been going down quickly. Now there are only about 8,000 left. Some scientists believe that getting cheetahs going in India again will help make sure that cheetahs don't die out completely.
" Project Cheetah" will cost India about $11 million during the next five years. The goal(目标) is to increase the number of cheetahs to 40. A second group of 12 cheetahs was prepared by South Africa, and has arrived recently.

Christmas is one of the happiest times of the year. It's time we spend with family members,giving gifts to each other and eating lots of delicious food. However,at the same time it can also be a nervous time. You have to spend much time and money planing and buying presents for everyone. You need to clean the rooms or even clear some of them out and put up the Christmas tree,the decorations and the balloons. And you have to communicate with your friends and relatives whom you perhaps wouldn't usually spend so much time with. So what can we do to deal with these things to enjoy the happy time to the fullest?
Usually,you have to face the busy shops to do your Christmas shopping during this holiday. That can make you stressed out. To stay calm(冷静的) during this holiday,you can start your shopping early. In other words,you can buy presents for people before Christmas comes so that you can save yourself some money. What's more,you can buy your presents on the Internet,which means that you can find anything you can think of,and you can do it in your living room. It's much cheaper,so you can save money.
Did you once drink more than usual,eat cakes you didn't want or do something else which left you feeling tired? Remember that it's your right to enjoy Christmas in the way you want and that you should take no notice of those who tell you that you're not being Christmassy.
Finally,you'd better have low expectations. If your expectations are high,you will make yourself upset. Don't let yourself be pressured into making the Christmas perfect. So,just be satisfied to have a pleasant evening with your family and let what happens happen.
