Recently, many people have fallen in love with the cute marmots(土拨鼠) because of the online short videos about their fighting. However, many organizations have quickly warned(警告) people that these seemingly lovely wild animals are actually high-risk carriers of the plague(瘟疫).
Marmots are common rodents(啮齿目动物) in North-west China. Listed as a second-class protected animals in China, they always choose cool mountain grasslands, open deserts, and rocky hills as their homes. They are good at digging(挖) holes, which are usually deep and each hole has a different use. Fresh grass, juicy plants, and treats like apples or lettuce fill their diet. Living in family groups, these social animals work together and share information often to stay alive in the difficult environment.
Marmots may look harmless, but these furry animals carry plague bacteria(鼠疫杆菌), which cause a disease(病) that killed over 100 million people like the Black Death in the 14th century. The disease can spread through small cuts or even breath drops, causing high fever, painful lumps(肿块) under the skin, and bleeding. Without treatment(治疗), it is highly dangerous with the chances of staying alive as low as zero.
The National Health Commission advises:
● Keep safe distance(距离) when meeting wild marmots.
● Never keep them as pets, touch, or feed them.
● Report animals to wildlife experts(专家) instead of helping them directly.
● Go to hospital in time if you develop a fever or lumps after touching them.
The recent online videos of feeding and touching marmots have raised warning. While their round faces might make us want to get close, health organizations warn everyone that cuteness isn’t worth risking lives. Protecting both wildlife and public health means watching animals safely from a faraway place.

最近,由于有关土拨鼠打斗的网络短视频,很多人都爱上了这些可爱的土拨鼠。然而,许多机构很快警告人们,这些看似可爱的野生动物实际上是瘟疫的高风险携带者。
土拨鼠是中国西北地区常见的啮齿目动物。作为中国的二级保护动物,它们总是选择凉爽的山地草原、开阔的沙漠和多石的山丘作为栖息地。它们擅长挖洞,这些洞通常很深,每个洞都有不同的用途。新鲜的草、多汁的植物以及苹果或生菜之类的食物构成了它们的日常饮食。这些群居动物以家庭为单位生活,它们共同协作并经常分享信息,以便在恶劣的环境中生存。
土拨鼠看起来可能无害,但这些毛茸茸的动物携带鼠疫杆菌,这种病菌会引发疾病,就像14世纪的“黑死病”一样,导致超过1亿人死亡。这种疾病可以通过小伤口甚至飞沫传播,会引发高烧、皮肤下疼痛的肿块以及出血症状。如果不进行治疗,它是非常危险的,存活的几率几乎为零。
国家卫生健康委员会建议:
- 遇到野生土拨鼠时保持安全距离。
- 切勿将它们当作宠物,不要触摸或喂食它们。
- 发现此类动物时,向野生动物专家报告,而不是直接对其进行救助。
- 如果触摸它们后出现发烧或肿块的症状,要及时去医院。
最近有关喂食和触摸土拨鼠的网络视频引发了警示。虽然它们圆圆的脸可能会让我们想要靠近,但卫生机构警告大家,可爱并不值得以生命为代价去冒险。保护野生动物和公共健康意味着要从远处安全地观察动物。
5. 最近是什么引起了人们对土拨鼠的兴趣?
A. 一份关于土拨鼠的报告。
B. 一些有趣的网络短视频。
C. 一项关于土拨鼠的新研究。
D. 政府的保护法规。
6. 如果你在野外发现一只受伤的土拨鼠,你应该怎么做?
A. 把它带回家进行医疗护理。
B. 别管它,避免触摸。
C. 在网上分享它的照片。
D. 及时向野生动物专家报告。
7. 作者在第3段中提到“黑死病”是为了________。
A. 表明这种疾病在历史上并不严重
B. 表明现在和过去的疾病有相似之处
C. 描述土拨鼠如何迁移到新地方
D. 说明过去的医疗护理不够好
8. 这篇文章的最佳标题是什么?
A. 土拨鼠:可爱的动物还是无声的杀手?
B. 土拨鼠的网络视频
C. “黑死病”的历史
D. 如何保护野生啮齿目动物
