When people think of tigers, words like" strong" and " dangerous" come into their mind. But now, the big animal is calling for our help. There were once eight kinds of tigers in the world, but three died out during last century. In the past 70 years, the number of Siberian tigers has gone from as many as 300 to somewhere between 18 and 22.

   World Wildlife Fund started a programme. It is about to put an end to tiger poaching(非法狩猎) and save wild tigers. China, together with 12 other countries, has joined in. The aim is to double the number of wild tigers in the next ten years.

According to the research by Chinese officers and WWF, the Siberian tiger is already one of the planet's most endangered animals. "If the government doesn't do anything, it's quite possible that there will be no more Siberian tigers in China in 10 to 20 years." said Zhu Chunquan, director at WWF Beijing office.

    Wild animals such as deer and wild bears are tigers' main food. The poaching of these animals is the greatest danger to tigers. Another one is the trap(陷阱). "Volunteers from WWF remove traps every year, but we cannot clear all the traps ourselves," Zhu said. The most important thing people can do is to save the animals tigers eat." To protect the tigers, we need to call on more people to stop hunting wild animals."

Congratulations! You'll enter a new high school. Are you ready for the future life? Here is some advice for a new senior high school student.

Be a positive(乐观的) person

Positive attitudes(态度) can make you full of energy. Do remember to encourage yourself when you're down. You can keep your old friends close and make new friends with the students who make your life better and happier.

Make a plan

You might have more difficult courses but high school teachers won't take care of you like in junior high. Mostly, you have to learn by yourself. Getting enough sleep and exercising more are both important. You need to manage your time wisely. You'd better make a time plan or a calendar that can help.

Be responsible for yourself

There is always someone smarter, richer or better looking than you. I hope that you only pay attention to your own work. Please find out your goals and make them clear. Then stick to your decisions and be responsible for the results.

Help other students

Not everyone is going to be nice to you. But you should give him a hand when you find someone is in trouble. Giving makes each other closer and makes you more popular.

A Theme Park for Fall Outing

Here's an interview with two classmates, Jenny and Tom, discussing their choices for the class fall outing to a theme park.

◆Have you thought about which theme park we should visit for the class fall outing?

Jenny: Yes, Adventure World. It has a huge kinds of attractions like roller coasters, water rides, and even an animal exhibit. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I think it'll keep the whole class entertained.

Tom: That's a great option! I'm considering FunLand. It's smaller, but they offer a lot of interactive (互动) experiences, like virtual (虚拟) reality games and live performances.

◆What do you think about the location?

Jenny: Adventure World is about two hours away by bus, which is a bit of a trip, but I think the attractions make it worth the drive. Plus, the scenery along the way could be nice.

Tom: FunLand is only an hour away from school, so it's more convenient. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

◆Have you checked the cost?

Jenny: Yes, Adventure World offers a group discount (打折) for schools, so the entrance fee isn't too bad. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Tom: FunLand is cheaper in terms of the entrance fee, but the food and extra activities inside, like the VR games, are more expensive. We might need to bring some extra cash for food or souvenirs.

◆{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Jenny: Adventure World has a great safety record. They have lifeguards for all activities. I also noticed they have a first-aid station near the entrance.

Tom: FunLand is also really good with safety. I've heard they're very strict with safety checks before anyone can get on the rides.
