The snake is a long and thin animal that lives in grass or other dark places. A snake has no legs or feet, but it can move very fast on its stomach. Snakes usually have green, yellow or black skins, which make them difficult for their enemies to find them.Some kinds of snakes live in water. They can swim as freely as fish.

蛇是一种又长又瘦的动物，生活在草丛里和阴暗的地方、蛇没有腿和脚，靠胃部飞快的移动前进。 蛇常常有绿色，黄色和黑色的皮肤，使得敌人很难找到他们。

Snakes are cold-blooded animals. In winter they hibernatein holes which are narrow enough only to hold the snakes bodies. The snakes can sleep through a whole winter without eating and moving. They can not feel any pain. The hibernation period lasts about five months. When spring comes, the snakes come out and begin their normal life.

蛇是冷血动物，在冬天，它们通常隐藏在只能容下它们身体的狭小的小洞里。蛇可以不吃东西，不移动地睡一整个冬天。它们不会感觉到痛苦，它们的隐藏时期持续大概5个月。当春天来临的时候，蛇就会出现并开始它们的正常活动。

Snakes can take many things as food, such as mice, sparrows, frogs,birds eggs, pests and so on. People sometimes can see a snake eat a sparrow. First it moves close to the sparrow, then it puts out its tongue and brings the sparrow into its mouth and swallows it, which makes a lump in the snakes body. After some time the lump disappears.

许多东西都可以成为蛇的食物，就像老鼠，麻雀，青蛙，鸟蛋和害虫等等。人们常常看见蛇吃麻雀，蛇首先靠近麻雀，然后伸出它的舌头把麻雀带进它的嘴巴里并吞下去。麻雀就像一块肿瘤一样突出在蛇的身体里，但是过了一段时间就会被消化消失。

As snakes are dreadful-looking, people are afraid of them. Many people drive them away whenever they see snakes. But in Chinese fairy tales, snakes are by no means bad. They seem to have human feelings. They can change into pretty girls. People like and respect them. The most well-known is the story about the White Snake and the Blue Snake.

因为蛇看起来很可怕，所以人们总是害怕它们，很多人每当看到蛇的时候都会把它们赶走。但是，在中国的神话故事里，蛇并不代表坏人，它们可以感觉到人类的想法，它们会变成美丽的女生，人们喜欢和尊重它们。最著名的故事就是白蛇与青蛇的故事了。

In fact, snakes are not as dreadful as they look. They can help us to kill mice and pests. They can provide us with delicious meat. Their blood is a good drink. Poisonous snakes are especially useful. We can make valuable drugs with them.

事实上，蛇并不是像它的样子那么可怕，它们可以帮助我们杀死老鼠和害虫，它们可以给我们做成美味的佳肴，它们的血是很好的饮料。毒蛇就特别有用处了，我们可用它们做成珍贵的药品。

全县父老乡亲、朋友们：

野生动物是人类的朋友，是自然生态系统的重要组成部分，是大自然赋予人类的宝贵自然资源。我国是一个野生动物资源丰富的国家，但是近些年来由于生态环境的恶化、野生动物栖息地的人为破坏，致使我国野生动物的数量、分布范围正日益缩小，许多种类已处于濒临灭绝状态。自从地球上有了人类，我们的命运就与野生动物息息相关，动物作为生物链的重要组成部分，却面临着前所未有的危机。全世界每天都有珍稀动物在灭绝，每天都有成千上万的动物被猎杀。大自然的生态平衡被破坏，益虫被杀，害虫猖獗，森林被伐，灾害频繁;植被破坏，土地沙化......我们的自然生存环境正在恶化，可是我们又能怨谁呢?这难道不是我们这些大自然的主宰者，猎杀动物、砍伐森林、摧毁植物造成的吗?这难道不是我们在自己毁坏生存环境吗?据调查表明，近几年我县城乡餐馆、酒店非法经营野生动物的现象屡禁不止，使得许多已经处于濒临灭绝的野生动物的处境更加艰难。为了保护共同的生态环境，为了保护野生动物资源，为此，我们倡议：

一、从我做起，保护野生动物从餐桌做起，不滥食野生动物，禁止食用野鸭、天鹅，树立饮食文明新风尚;不滥捕、不猎杀野生动物，做文明、守法、有爱心的好公民。

二、关爱动物，保护森林，让茂密的森林成为野生动物的栖息庇护场所。

三、各饲养、运输和餐饮企业不非法经营、贩运、加工、制作、销售野生动物及其制品，做绿色、环保、守法的经营者。

四、人人行动起来，积极劝说阻止、举报各类破坏森林、伤害野生动物的行为，做保护生态环境的模范。

朋友们，为了人类共同的生存环境，为了让汉寿成为更加美好的家园，让我们共同努力，一起行动起来，从我做起，从小事做起;让大地处处充满生命的绿色;让野生动物与我们在同一片蓝天下平安地生活。

有一天，很多家长带着孩子们到动物园去游玩。

进入动物园，小朋友们给可爱的小猴子喂食。有的小朋友扔苹果给小猴子吃，有的小朋友扔香蕉给小猴子吃，有的小朋友扔带壳的糖果给小猴子吃，甚至杂七杂八的东西都扔给小猴子吃，还玩得很开心呢！

贪吃的小猴子把这些东西都吃进肚子里了。过了一会儿，小猴子的肚子像充气时的气球渐渐地大起来了，还痛得小猴子哇哇乱叫呢！后来，饲养员赶紧把小猴子带到兽医站治疗。经过兽医给小猴子吃药、打针之后，小猴子的病情有所好转了。

事情发生后，大家才认识到：保护动物、爱护动物，不仅体现了人们的良知，也体现了一个人的文明程度。

我喜欢的小动物是海龟，它有一个圆圆的脑袋，可以在龟壳里自由伸缩。它有一个厚厚的外壳，那个壳既像是它的家，又像是它的盾牌，可以阻挡危险，保护自己。它的脚不像乌龟那样有一个个小爪子，而是像扇子一样扁平扁平的。在海洋里，它能像鱼儿一样在水中随心所欲地游来游去，这与它像扇子一样的脚有很大关系。海龟只有离开水后便爬着走，那速度才是真正的龟速。

My favorite small animal is the turtle, which has a round head and can flex freely in the shell. It has a thick shell, which is like both its home and its shield. It can stop danger and protect itself. Instead of having a small claw like a tortoise, its feet are flat and flat like a fan. In the ocean, it can swim freely in the water like a fish, which has a lot to do with its fan-like feet. Turtles only crawl away from the water, and that#39;s the real speed.

海龟产卵的时候不像其它动物妈妈一样产完卵就不管了，而是用沙子将卵藏好，以防其他动物偷吃，真是一位贴心的妈妈。它们的窝更是奇特，别的动物的窝都是用沙土堆起来或是在陆地上打一个洞，而海龟则是在海底打一个洞住进去。小海龟出生一个月后，海龟妈妈就不会再管自己的宝宝了，而是让它们自己生活下去，让它们学会自己成长。

Turtles do not lay eggs like other animal mothers. They hide eggs in sand to prevent other animals from stealing them. It#39;s really a kind mother. Their nests are even more peculiar. Other animals#39;nests are piled up with sand or made a hole in the land, while turtles make a hole in the sea floor. One month after the birth of the baby turtle, the mother of the turtle will no longer take care of her babies, but let them live on their own, let them learn to grow up.

这就是我喜欢的动物，海龟。

This is my favorite animal, the turtle.

In my home, there is a very lovely small animals, that is my mother gave me gift.

It was wearing a white and black clothes, looks like a gentleman; He has two small eyes, always hovering, at night, became "emerald"; Its ears are very cute, sharp, like a small mountain.

It is very naughty fish. Once I give it a fish, in your hands in it eyes want to, it also unmoved. I was a little angry said to it: "small cute, why dont you eat?" I think, it may be afraid to eat. So I deliberately turn head, have never thought, my hands move, see it quickly put the fish away, and then to eat with relish. Is really naughty!

It loved playing thread, of course. On one occasion, a bag of thread accidentally fell out. It saw the colorful small ball, curious. Then walk in the past, it is a little bit afraid of points with the hand a offline, see string, no reaction, then dare to play. But it more play more crazy, running around in the house, rolling on the ground, put in the room at sixes and sevens. Finally, get tired of it, to see so disorderly, hurriedly came, to my name, as if he were to me for help. Cant, dont want to be mother knew, had to help it to pick up the pieces.

Now you know who it is? It is a lovely cat. It is my friend! My joys and sorrows, will tell it, share my happiness with it. Every time I test is bad, they will also use wool rub my legs, as if to say again: "master, dont lose heart, trying to point, you will succeed next time!" When I get good grades, the kitten again as if to say: "dont be proud!" So, I have the "partners" and feel happy!

在我家里，有一只非常可爱的小动物，那是我妈妈送给我的礼物。

它穿着一身白黑相间的衣服，看起来就像一位绅士;他有两只小眼睛，总是转来转去，一到晚上，便成了"绿宝石”;它的耳朵也十分可爱，尖尖的，就像一座小山峰。

它吃鱼时很顽皮。有一次我给它一条鱼，拿在手上在它眼睛要来晃去，它也无动于衷。我便有点生气的对它说：“小可爱，你怎么不吃啊?”我想啊，它可能害怕不敢吃。于是，我故意扭转头，没想到，我手中一动，只见它飞快地把鱼叼走了，然后津津有味地吃起来。真是顽皮!

它最爱玩得当然是线团。有一次，袋子里的线团不小心掉了出来。它看见这五颜六色的小圆球，感到很好奇。便走过去，它有点害怕的用手点一下线团，见线团没什么反应，便渐渐敢玩了。可是它越玩越疯狂，在屋里跑来跑去，在地上滚来滚去，把屋里弄得乱七八糟。最后，它玩累了，看到这么乱，连忙走过来，对着我叫，像是在向我求救。没办法，要不想被妈妈知道，只好帮它收拾残局。

现在你知道它是谁了吗?它就是可爱的小猫。它还是我的朋友呢!我的喜怒哀乐，都会告诉它，与它分享我的快乐。每当我考试不好，小猫就会用毛蹭我的腿，好像再说：“主人，别灰心，在努力点，下次你一定会成功的!”当我取得好成绩，小猫又好像在说：“别骄傲哟!”所以，我拥有这个“伙伴”而感到开心!

今天，我和朱芷懿、洪舒阳、王达开，以及一些亲朋好友去杭州旅游，目的只有一个：杭州野生动物园。

经过四个多小时的颠簸，我们到达了杭州野生动物园。我们跟着旅游团，看到了数量繁多的野生动物：高大威武的百兽之王老虎、眯着眼睛老想睡觉的狮子、身手敏捷的豹子、阴沉老练的狼、魁梧怪异的大猩猩、憨态可掬的小狗熊，还有马、牛、马鹿等等，令人目不暇接，但我看来，最厉害的还是大象，它身材最高，跑起来虎虎生风，连地面都传出颤抖的声音。

最好玩的是和大象照相，我坐在象背上害怕极了，生怕它把我掀到地上，瞧着大象比墙还高的身姿，我哪受的了?照完像后，我猜小心翼翼的赶紧下来。

别笑我胆小哦。如果你来试一回，就知道了。

现在我明白了，野生动物是地球的生灵，它们和人类一样，都是地球上的居民。所以我们要保护也是动物。

I have a white dog.Its name is Bobo.She is a female dog.She comes from Beijing,China.She has two big eyes and a small month.She wears white clothes.

She often walks around at home.It has nothing to do.She likes eating ice-cream so much,So do I.When I eat ice-cream,she will look at the ice-cream carefully.So I will give her some to eat.

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.

前几天，爸爸从超市买回来一个大大的鱼缸，于是我开始期盼爸爸买几条金鱼回家，终于，爸爸把金鱼带回来了。

爸爸一共带回来八只金鱼，都不是很大，挺小的，一放进鱼缸里就四处有开了，一旦我靠近它们，它们就躲进水草里，只露出尾巴一动一动晃动。终于借着喂鱼食的时候，我能够观察它们了，这几只鱼差不多都是橘色的，大小差不多，不过其中有一只是白色的，还带了些斑点。鱼尾很薄，几乎都要融入水里了，如果不是因为水一直都在动，你可能要仔细看才能发现它们的尾巴，小金鱼的尾巴是扇子形状的，可漂亮了。

平时的时候，小金鱼们在水草里面玩躲猫猫的游戏，偶尔你还能看到水草后面出现一串泡泡哦。小金鱼的眼睛鼓鼓的，嘴一张一张的，鱼鳃也一动一动的，水从嘴里进去，从腮里缓缓的流出来，可神奇了。

我喜欢我们家的小金鱼。

Animals are our best friends. But there are many bad things about them. So we should try our best to protect animals.

First, let us know the status of the animal. Now, animals are facing very great danger. For example, there are many kinds of animals will die out. And there are many people eat precious and wild animals. They are nasty. As students, we should stop this behavior and protect animals.

Then, let us know we should how to protect animals. We should protect they habitat. If you see other people mindlessly trample animal homes, nicely remind them of the damage theyre causing. We can not also eat some wild animals. We should ask other people to protect them, too. Let we protect animals together!

我每次去动物园，我总是逆着人流，一进大门，就往左拐，去看望我最喜爱的大鸟-天鹅

星期天的早晨，我又和爸爸、妈妈一起去动物园。那天霞火初红，湖水平静一对天鹅在水面划过，他们拍打着宽大的翅膀，托出了红艳艳的朝阳。

天鹅长着一身雪白的羽毛，显得格外美丽。它们在湖面上娴静得、慢慢地游动着，那平静的湖面像一面明亮的大镜子，倒映出他们那高难度的身影，就像一对舞蹈队员在跳双人舞，使我不禁想谈一首天鹅舞曲，为他们伴奏。游了一儿，也许是累了，便进岸边休息了，树下的房子就是天鹅的家。在这美丽的绿色草坪上，他们静静的望着，远远望去，仿佛是一座雪雕。

我爱天鹅，天鹅是爱美的象征。许多文学家都写过天鹅的故事，好比安徒生爷爷写的童话......看到天鹅，我就仿佛进入了童话世界。

Every year on October 4th is the World Animal Day. It is proposed by the Italian monk St Francis in 12th century.

同学们，你们可能都认为一个小小的方便袋，没有什么污染，这你们可就错了。一个再小的方便袋也能污染水源。

在白城市每户人家差不多一年就能用100多个方便袋。白城市要是只有100多户人家，大约每年都要使用一万个方便袋。大家想想咱们白城市光有100户人家吗?在学校上课时，我每天都要随身带一种水果。可是水果的外包装是一种塑料做的小食品袋这种方便袋对环境的污染十分严重。并且我们一般只会一次性使用它。用过的袋子就进了废品收购站。但大部分却被弃入了我们的大自然当中。

My favourite animal

Dolphin is my favourite animal.

It is one of the most precious animals. Their bodies are very long, about one zhang（丈）. Dolphins live in the sea. They live on fish, shrimps and so on.

Dolphins are very friendly and peaceful. They never attack people. Instead, they have saved many people in danger in the past years. How helpful the dolphins are!

Dolphins are very clever. People often train them so that they can give a dolphin show which brings people a lot of happiness and joy.

Unluckily, the number of dolphins is getting smaller and smaller. Because of water pollution, there is less and less space for dolphins. Many people make money by hunting dolphins. If we don’t protect them, maybe we’ll lose our good friends one day. As a student, I hope more and more people should take actions to protect dolphins.

饲养宠物

Nowadays, with the improvement of the people’s living standard, some people form a habit of raising small or domestic animals as pets. Some raise small dogs or cats as their pets while others raise various birds or fishes as their pets.

动物是人类的朋友，我们应该保护它们。

壁虎是我们的好朋友，你可千万别小瞧它，如果你因为它不起眼就小瞧它，甚至有些人嫌它讨厌就把它赶走、杀死它，那么你就大错特错了，因为它能飞檐走壁吃掉害虫。你有没有想过如果你伤害它们的话，你的周围会有更多的小虫。所以，我们要爱护壁虎！

Oceans becoming more acidicThe worlds oceans are slowly getting more acidic, say scientists.The researchers from California say the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters pH value is not great at the moment but could pose a serious threat to current marine life if it continues, they warn.Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of fossil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater.

Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid.Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.But these researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change."This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira."And we predicted amounts of future acidity that exceed anything we saw over the last several hundred million years, apart from perhaps after rare catastrophic events such as asteroid impacts."If carbon dioxide release continues unabated, ocean pH could be reduced by as much as 0.77 units, the authors warn.It is not absolutely clear what that means for marine life, however.

Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean lifeforms may be more sensitive to pH changes.Coral reefs and other organisms whose skeletons or shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected, the team speculate. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH.In recent years some people have suggested deliberately storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of curbing global warming.But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered."Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing - because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet; and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.
