9、 birds, reptiles, and mammals of all sizes. Perhaps most rewarding has been educating people about animals and getting them excited about wildlife conservation. Hoping to build on my experience and become a better conservationist, I applied and was selected for the two-year Emerging Wildlife Conserv

10、ation Leaders (EWCL) program.Part of the EWCL experience is to work on a project that benefits an endangered species. Five other participants and I were partnered with Painted Dog Conservation and Painted Dog Research Trust (PDRT) in Zimbabwe. With the help of the Wildlife Conservation Network, we f

11、ormed the Painted Dog Protection Initiative (PDPI).African painted dogs are highly successful hunters and travel in large packs. They are also southern Africas most endangered large meat-eating species. PDPIs goal is to address one of the speciesmain threats: entrapment in illegal wire snares (羅網(wǎng)).

12、Several years ago, Dr. Gregory Rasmussen, founder and director of PDRT, discovered that a painted dog he was studying had been entrapped in a wire snare, but was saved when the snare caught on the dogs tracking collar, protecting the dogs neck and allowing it to escape. Dr. Rasmussen wondered if it

13、was possible to improve upon existing tracking collars so that they would also “catch” snares. Working with the Houston Zoo, PDPI stepped in to produce an anti-snare collar to do just that. We conducted over 700 trials to determine the most effective design and worked with two companies to turn the

14、collars into a reality. Now. Dr. Rasmussen is placing 20 of the anti-snare collars on dogs that live in an area full of illegal snares near Victoria Falls. We hope to make more collars and protect at-risk dogs all across Africa. I truly believe painted dogs can rebound from the edge of extinction. T

18、. More collars have been placed across Africa.CChildren are innocent and not so mature. They do not understand that advertisers try to push their products and market in such a way that children want to buy them. Children take everything at face value and believe without a doubt the messages in the a

19、dvertisements. Advertisements are made in such a way as to attract the attention of children. Children do not understand it to be marketing strategy. Children are an extremely easy target audience and get easily carried away. Research has shown that junk food advertisements influence children greatl

20、y leading to an increased demand for junk food by children. When children watch young adults in good shape eating junk foods in the advertisements, they assume that it is good for health. They do not know that junk food is not good for health. They are unaware of the fact that junk food does not con

21、tain nutritional value. They may even think that by eating these junk foods they might become like the thin and fit models in the advertisements. A research conducted has shown that children increased their consumption of junk foods after seeing these advertisements. They are seen to be so influence

22、d by these ads that they almost doubled their consumption of these unhealthy snacks and foods. In a study they exposed children to candy commercials. It was seen that those children who were exposed to the candy commercials were highly influenced. In fact, these children chose candy over fruits as s

23、nacks. They preferred candy rather than a healthy food like fruits. When the commercials were eliminated（消除）and the children watched them less, it had a positive effect. It encouraged them to pick the fruits over the candy.8. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A. Children are eager to watch advert

The team reports that labgrown coffee could be important as climate change continues to threaten traditional coffee farming. Scientists at Finland s VTT Te

27、chnical Research Center created cell cultures from the leaves of coffee plants. The process involves floating the cell cultures in bioreactors filled with nutrients. The same method is used to make other kinds of animaland plantbased products. Heikki Aisala is a VTT researcher who oversaw the proces

28、s. Aisala told Reuters news agency that cups of the cellular coffee probably would not pass taste tests comparing it to traditional coffee. Not like of course, 100 percent. It tastes like a combination of different types of coffees. Aisala said. The researcher added that while the cellular coffee is

29、 not ready for the market just vet, it certainly does look like coffee at the moment. Aisala added it is possible that the labgrown version could one day develop into a multibilliondollar industry. VTT Research team leader Heiko Rischer said cell cultures offer a more sustainable way to make coffee.

30、 This is because coffee is in high demand. This has led to countries opening up more land to grow coffee beans, which causes increased deforestation. Rischer said the environmental benefits of lab-grown coffee include reduced use of pesticides and fertilizer and les need to ship coffee beans long di

31、stances to markets.In Europe, labgrown coffee would need to be approved before it could be marketed. But an important question remains: Will coffee lovers actually drink the labgrown creation?
