Later, throughout various dynasties, the animal was bred in imperial parks but, tragically , by 1900 it had become extinct in China. But 100 years later, David`s deer has returned.A look back at the history shows that tens of thousands of years of civilization achieved by man have been the cost of our natural environment. The wetland, home for the Milu deer dubbed the kidneys of the world. But centuries of devastations have led to series of soil erosion, depriving wetland animals of their habitats and the environment of one of its vital functions. The return of milu deer to China is a reminder to the Chinese people of the need to protect our mother earth.Something about dinosaurs:Dinosaurs first appeared about 200 million years ago, many kinds of dinosaurs became extinct.

To get to the other side.Most people know this joke.But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and the mountain lion can cross the road.“Millions of animals die each year on the US roads，” the Federal Highway Administration reports.In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the US today.The main reason? Roadkill.“Ecopassages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars.They are paths both over and under roads.“These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents，” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protectio n Society.But do animals actually use the eco-passages? The answer is yes.Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway.This showed that the lions used the passage.Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them.Animals seem to__be__catching__on．Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.Next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around.You might see an animal on an overpass!1．The writer uses the example of ocelots to show that ________．A．wild animals have become more dangerousB．the driving conditions have improved greatlyC．the measure for protecting wildlife fails to workD．an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents2．When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”，he means ________．A．animals begin to realize the danger on the roadB．animals begin to learn to use eco-passagesC．animals are crossing the road in groupsD．animals are increasing in number3．This passage is written to ________．A．protect the endangered animalsB．call on drivers to be careful when seeing animals on the roadC．introduce a new way to help protect wild animalsD．tell us the main reason for the killing of animals in the USBFood webs throughout the ocean are in trouble because of overfishing.About one billion people rely on seafood for protein.However, people are fishing more species faster than those fish can reproduce(繁殖)．By 2048, says the World Wildlife Fund, the number of all present food fish could reduce by 90%.So few fish would remain in the world that people couldn't depend on them for food.Climate changes will most likely trouble food webs further.As average global temperatures rise, the ocean gets more carbon dioxide.That makes the ocean more acidic, which does harm to the lives in the ocean.Fewer of those lives will grow stronger, leaving less to eat.There will be more effects on the food web.Aquaculture—raising fish and seafood in farms—isn't necessarily the answer to these problems. Sometimes companies destroy mangrove(红树林) forests and other sensitive habitats in order to build fish farms. Habitat destruction also leaves coastal areas easily flooded.“A lot of our freshwater comes from the ocean as rain，” says Shannon, an ocean scientist.
