阅读下列材料,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
Imagine a world with no more animals: no
elephants, no tigers or lions. To some people, that thought is too terrible for
words. So they are doing something about it. Tiffany Soechting is one of them.
Being among wild animals—feeding them and
caring for them—is all Tiffany Soechting has wanted to do with her life. And
that is exactly what she does!
Soechting is the human "mother"
to the 500 animals that live on her family wildlife farm in San Antonio, Texas.
On the farm, she cares for animals from around the world. Soechting says she
loves them all. However, two reticulated giraffes(网纹长颈鹿) take up a special place in her heart. Their population in the wild
has become smaller by 80% in the last 15 years. "I'm so glad to get help
from five wildlife researchers that took giraffes up to a higher level. All our
hard work helps protect giraffes living in the wild."
Besides her animal caring, Soechting also
holds monthly classes, where she teaches school children about the animals.
Soechting also opens the farm to the
public. Visitors not only learn about the animals, they can also get close to
them. And the animals are not against that. For them, people are part of their
natural environment.
The
farm is part conservation(保护) area, part
educational center and part animal park. As the animals walk peacefully around
the grounds, it is easy for them to forget that San Antonio, a busy city, is
just a few minutes away.
