一说到动物，人们就想捕回去杀死吃它们的肉和刮下它们的皮毛来赚钱，可是人类万万没有想到的是由于乱捕滥杀等对待动物，使得动物的种类一天天减少，而有的动物已经到达“濒临灭绝”据新闻报道：野生东北虎在我国不足500只、而非洲象只有约47至69万只、长江江豚不到1500头、而东部美洲狮已经灭绝、白令海牛也已经灭绝、也使生物圈和食物链遭到严重破坏，这都是人类在地球上一一所犯下的罪行，我们要保护这些美丽的生灵、保护生物圈、保护食物链。

为了保护动物;国家在各个地区建立动物园;除此之外，在一些地区还建立自然保护区和自然风景区;另外还在各省各地区设有省级林业局和市级林业局;还有在森林设有森林派出所;国家在动物界设有国家几级动物的级别;国家还分别颁布和颁发了保护动物的法律和文件。

如果人类一错再错下去的话，那么这个人类赖以生存的家园就会毁于人类手中。

我们和动物一样都要生活，如果我们把地球上的动物全部杀死，最终伤害了我们自己。

我们是动物的朋友，动物也是我们的朋友，是生存在赖以生存的朋友。

我们要保护动物，让它们给我们造福，保护动物是我们的责任，保护动物刻不容缓。

我总结出一条一荣一耻：“以保护动物为荣，以捕杀动物为耻”。

Many animals are in danger of dying out。 As is shown in the chart， we can see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will continue。 From 1980 to 2010， at least 1 million animal species have disappeared。 Worse still， more and more wild animals are in great danger。 It is not a piece of sensational news; it is a fact， a harsh reality。 Unfortunately， we may not see these animals in the near future。

From the second picture， we can find some reasons。 Why is the number of animal species declining year by year？ Apparently animals have become victims of fashion industry。 Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and these clothes sell at a high price。 So some greedy people begin to kill animals in a large quantity。 This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings。

As far as I am concerned， something must be done to stop this illegal action。 We believe "no buying， no killing"。 First， we must make concerning laws to protect these animals in danger。 Second， we must take some measures to protect animals effectively。 Animals are our friends and part of our environment。 Third， we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and our environment。 In this way， we can build a harmonious society and ensure a sustainable development。

We went to Yulong mountain this weekend. There were six persons in our group. We gathered together at our school gate at 8:00 on Saturday. We started to climb the mountain at 8:30 and get to the top at 10:00 am. We had lunch at the top of the mountain. After lunch, we arranged some free activities , such as singing, dancing and game playing. We returned at 5:00 pm. In order to have a good time, every member of our group prepared necessities by themself, such as tent, sleeping bag, coat, water, food, and so on. What a happy day!

Of all the festivals in China, Dragon Boat Festival is my favorite. When the Dragon Boat Festival comes, not only the family will pack the zongzi, but some communities or units will organize the group to carry on the game of zongzi. Many water towns will organize a dragon boat race, which is magnificent and spectacular.

When I was young, my mother told me that the Dragon Boat Festival in the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar was first to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan, which gradually took the day as a holiday. My father told me that Qu Yuan is a Chu state living in the past 2000 years. He is a great poet and patriot and a loyal minister. In order to the people can live a happy life, he dared to point out the king was the wrong thing to do, so the old people loved him. But when the new king came to power, he was unconscious, and did not listen to Qu Yuans advice and claim, and lost an important battle with the state of Qin. The state of Chu was occupied by the state of Qin. After Qu Yuan heard the news, he died in the Miluo river. The local people are afraid that the fish in the river will eat Qu Yuans body, so they can put rice dumplings and other food into the river. After the death of Qu Yuan, the local legend went to the sky on a dragon boat. It was at the beginning of May each year five Dragon Boat Festival, dumplings, dragon boat racing has become an important activity.

In China, people like Dragon Boat Festival very much. Now people in the city are busy with their own work, so they cant sell their zongzi Festival, so they go to various supermarkets to buy. In the supermarket there are many types of dumplings, rice dumplings with bacon, candied dumplings, dumplings and so on, very much the pattern. After the dumplings are cooked in a pot, open the lid of the pot and smell it. It is full of the fragrance of the dumplings in the house, tasting a mouthful, and the sweet taste of the glutinous rice in the full mouth. Besides eating zongzi, people can also watch dragon boat racing. On the river, the dragon boat in front of the leading high, vivid. The whole dragon boat was narrow and long. There was a big drum in front, and one after another sat a lot of strong young men. With the sound of the drums, they paddled neatly on the surface of the water. For a while, splashing, drums, voice and the sound of refueling on the riverbank were coming up. The scene was magnificent and spectacular.

I like the Dragon Boat Festival, not only because it can eat delicious zongzi, see the wonderful dragon boat race, and more like its historical connotation. Every time I pass the Dragon Boat Festival, I can always think of Qu Yuan, think of his slamming and long sword, reciting "Li Sao" in the mouth, walking between the rivers and lakes, his loyalty and perseverance. His literary grace influences the generation of Chinese. If we compare traditional Chinese festivals to a piece of silk with jewels, then the Dragon Boat Festival is a bright pearl on the silk.

The giant panda （Ailuropoda melanoleuca） （"black-and-white cat-foot"） is a mammal classified in the bear family, Ursidae, native to central-western and southwestern China. It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, ears and on its rotund body. Though technically a carnivore, the panda has a diet which is 98% bamboo. However, they may eat other foods such as honey, eggs, fish, and yams.

The Giant Panda is an endangered animal; an estimated 3,000 pandas live in the wildand over 180 were reported to live in captivity by August 2006 in mainland China（another source by the end of 2006 put the figure for China at 221）， with twenty pandas living outside of China.[citation needed] However, reports show that the numbers of wild panda are on the rise.

The giant panda has long been a favorite of the public, at least partly on account of the fact that the species has an appealing baby-like cuteness that makes it seem to resemble a living teddy bear. The fact that it is usually depicted reclining peacefully eating bamboo, as opposed to hunting, also adds to its image of innocence. Though the giant panda is often assumed docile because of their cuteness, they have been known to attack humans, usually assumed to be out of irritation rather than predatory behavior.

The Giant Panda has a very distinctive black-and-white coat. Adults measure around 1.5 m long and around 75 cm tall at the shoulder. Males can weigh up to 115 kg （253 pounds）。 Females are generally smaller than males, and can occasionally weigh up to 100 kg （220 pounds）。 Giant Pandas live in mountainous regions, such as Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Tibet. While the Chinese dragon has been historically a national emblem for China, since the latter half of the 20th century the Giant Panda has also become an informal national emblem for China. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins.

The Giant Panda has an unusual paw, with a "thumb" and five fingers; the "thumb" is actually a modified sesamoid bone, which helps the panda to hold the bamboo while eating. Stephen Jay Gould wrote an essay about this, then used the title The Pandas Thumb for a book of essays concerned with evolution and intelligent design. The Giant Panda has a short tail, approximately 15 cm long. Giant Pandas can usually live to be 20-30 years old while living in captivity.

Until recently, scientists thought giant pandas spent most of their lives alone, with males and females meeting only during the breeding season. Recent studies paint a different picture, in which small groups of pandas share a large territory and sometimes meet outside the breeding season.[citation needed]

Like most subtropical mammals, but unlike most bears, the giant panda does not hibernate.

[edit] Diet

Pandas eating bamboo at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.Despite its taxonomic classification as a carnivore, the panda has a diet that is primarily herbivorous, which consists almost exclusively of bamboo. This is an evolutionarily recent adaptation. Pandas lack the proper enzymes to digest bamboo efficiently, and thus derive little energy and little protein from it.

While primarily herbivorous, the panda still retains decidedly ursine teeth, and will eat meat, fish, and eggs when available. In captivity, zoos typically maintain the pandas bamboo diet, though some will provide specially formulated biscuits or other dietary supplements.
