七、阅读短文，回答问题（10分）
The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike. On the plain in front of us, we can see the graceful animals. This is why we're here—to watch Xizang's antelopes (藏羚羊).
Xizang's antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I'm crazy about their beauty. I'm also aware of the danger they were in. They were once hunted for their valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve provides cover for the animals and plants of north-western Xizang. "We're not trying to save the animals," he says. "Actually, we're trying to save ourselves."
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for Xizang's antelopes. The number dropped by more than 50 per cent. Hunters killed antelopes to make money. Their living areas became smaller as new roads and railways were built.
To save this beautiful animal, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The actions were useful. The number of the antelopes started to increase. In June 2015, Xizang's antelope was removed (去除) from the endangered species (濒危物种) list. The government, however, does not plan to stop the protection programmes, since the threats (威胁) have not yet disappeared.

答案：Dear Saul,
How's everything going?
Last Sunday afternoon, we had a field trip to Chongming Dongtan National Nature Reserve. It was an amazing experience!
We first took a tour of the nature reserve with a guide. Then we had a close look at some rare birds. It was wonderful to watch them flying around! After that, we joined some volunteers to make posters. We hope people will know more about the wetland through these posters.
It was a fun and meaningful day! I learned about the importance of the ecosystem and I felt proud to do something for our planet. But there is still much more to do. We should be as environment-friendly as possible in our daily lives to protect the ecosystem.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
