Three billion years after life began, the earth is now the home
to many different kinds of living things perhaps five to ten million kinds.
However, many of these are dying out. It is thought that between the years
1550 and 1950 an average of one kind of living thing died out each year.
By 1985 this had risen to one per day. Between 1980 and 2000 we may lose
another half a million different kinds of living things.
There are many reasons for animals dying out, but the most important
one is the part that humans have played. First, many animals have been
killed for food. Second, many of the places where these animals used to
live have been destroyed. Dry lands have been watered. Wet lands have
been turned into fields. Forests have been cleared. Much land has either
been changed to farmland or used for building. Polluted rivers and lakes
have also been a cause of death.
One example of an animal in danger is the tiger. There are three
types of tiger living in China: the South China, the Northeastern, and
the Bengal. In all there are probably no more than a total of 400 tigers
left in China. Many of the forests where they lived were destroyed. Also,
tigers were hunted and killed until in many areas the entire population
had disappeared.
In 1900 there were about 100,000 tigers in Asia. In 1970 when the
shooting of tigers was stopped there were just 5,000 left. In India,
however, the population of tigers has increased, from 2,000 in 1972 to
about 5,000 in 1989. Perhaps the same progress can be made in China.

Everything, alive or not alive, is always on the move. Even the ground under our feet is moving.
Sometimes the movement is very slow. A glacier is a river of ice. But a river moves very quickly and a glacier does not. Look at the list below. It gives facts about the speed some of the world’s seas and rivers move at.
■ Antarctic Circumpolar Current 1.4kph
■ Mississippi River, USA 3.2kph
■ Amazon River, South America 2.4 - 4.8kph
■ Gulf Stream, Atlantic Ocean 7.4 -
9.3kph
■ Severn River, England 19.8kph
■ Ganges River, India 27kph
■ Lava Fall, Colorado River, USA 48kph
Sometimes the bottom of the sea moves. This makes very large, very fast waves. We call these waves “tsunamis”. A tsunami can move across the sea as fast as 784 kilometers per hour.
The pigeon (鸽子) is much slower than the spin-tailed swift (刺尾鸟，即雨燕). This swift is the fastest animal in the world. Its highest speed is 170kph. This is 74kph faster than the pigeon. The honeybee can fly at 18kph, and the monarch butterfly can fly 14kph faster than that.
The cheetah (印度豹) is the fastest animal on land. Humans can run at 43kph, but the cheetah can run at 112kph over a short distance. The ostrich (鸵鸟) can run 4kph faster than a human, and the rabbit is even faster. It can run 24kph fastest than the ostrich.
Fish can move very quickly. The sailfish (旗鱼) is the fastest. It can swim twice as fast as the ostrich can run. The dolphin (海豚) can
swim at 59kph and the trout (鲑鱼) at 24kph. These fish are much faster than humans. A human’s top speed in the water is only 8.3kph.
6. B Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The movement of a glacier is very slow.
B. A tsunami moves deep in the sea.
C. Antarctic Circumpolar Current is a glacier.
D. Lava Fall is a branch of Colorado River in USA.
7. B According to the text, the fastest river is ____________.

8. B What’s the best title for the passage?

D. Humans are the Slowest
