The US plans to extend its endangered species protection to lions in Africa.US Fish and Wildlife Service(FWS)will classify lions in southern and eastern Africa as threatened.The move will place tighter restrictions on the import of lion“trophies”,such as paws or heads.

While the US cannot regulate hunting in other countries,the move is significant because around half of a11 lion hunting in Africa is conducted by Americans.According to FWS data,more than 5,600 lions have been killed and imported by American hunters over the past decade.

Under the new FWS rules,bringing lion parts to the US will be banned in most circumstances if the animal is from a country where lions are endangered.Hunters will have to show the trophies were“l(fā)egally obtained”from countries that have“a scientifically sound management program that benefits the subspecies in the wild”·

This regulation is expected to place a far greater burden of proof upon hunters who claim that the money from lion hunting has been used to help communities in Africa and the overall conservation of lions.The persistent downward trend in lion numbers,due to habitat loss and hunting by locals and foreign tourists,suggests there has been little conservation benefit from organized hunts.

An international study,published in September,found African lion numbers have decreased by half since 1993,with a further 50%decline expected over the next 20 years for populations in west,central and east Africa·

“The lion is one of the planet’s most beloved species and an irreplaceable part of our shared global heritage,”said Dan Ashe,director of the FWS.“If we want to ensure that healthy lion populations continue to wander around the African savannas and forests of India,it’s up to all of us—not just the people of Africa and India—to take action.

1.Why will lions be classified as endangered in southern and eastern Africa?

A.No lion is protected in Africa.

B.Lion trading has been banned.

C.Its numbers have been decreasing.

D.Both locals and tourists hunt lions.

2.Where do most of the lion hunters come from?

A.Southern Africa.B.America.

C.Eastern Africa. D.India.

3.What may be the result of the move ?

A.The import of lion parts will be strictly limited.

B.Lion-hunting will be illegal all over the world.

C.Communities in Africa will benefit a lot.

D.Lion parts will not be legally obtained.

4.What does Dan Ashe really want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A.Almost everybody loves lions.

B.It’s everyone’s duty to protect lions.

C.Lion populations will increase rapidly.

D.Measures must be taken to keep lions fit.

Most American teenagers can’t wait to get rid of their “mental mouth” nickname(綽號). They count down the days they can finally take their braces (牙箍)off. However, trendy teenagers in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand can’t wait to get them on, even if they don’t need them.

Braces are the latest teenage fashion trend in Southeast Asia. Having a mouthful of metal has become so popular with Asian teens that there have been reports of many teens wearing fake (假冒的)braces. Many Asian beauty shops are now offering to put in cheap fake braces. There are even cheaper do-it-yourself braces such as “ Hello Kitty,” Mickey Mouse” or others for a price of around $100.

Braces are considered a sign of wealth in Southeast Asia. A real set of braces in Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, for example, will cost around $ 1,200, which is a large amount for the country with a GDP(國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值)of $345 billion ( a billion is 1,000 million), compared to the US which had a GDP of $1,506 Trillion ( a Trillion is 1,000 billion) last year.

While Asian teens may think that their colorful fake braces are cool, experts say that these trendy fashion braces can cause illness and can even lead to death. According to the New York Daily News, fake fashion braces have already been linked to the deaths of two teens in Thailand.A 17-year-old in the northeast city of Khon Kaen died from heart failure caused by a thyroid infection (甲狀腺感染)from a pair of fake fashion braces. Police also linked the death of another 14-year-old girl in Chonburi to a pair of fashion braces she had brought from an illegal shop.

Although the government is giving warnings about fake braces, the trend has been going strong for at least four years. What’s worse, the trend for fake braces shows no sign of slowing down.
