Wild animals are our friends, but many of them are getting fewer and fewer. We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.

Tibetan Antelopes

Tibetan antelopes(藏羚羊) mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. People killed them for their warm and soft wool(羊毛) to make it into expensive clothes. The number of them is smaller and smaller year by year. There are less than 75，000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago.

Golden Monkeys

Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboo. But people are destroying(毁坏) the environment where they live. Trees and bamboo are disappearing(消失), so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.

Elephants

Elephants are bigger than any other animal on land. They have long trunks(象鼻) and tusks(象牙). They have poor eyesight(视力), but very good hearing and smell. Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbours. They usually live in a group for many years. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks.

Wolves

Wolves are not very big. They have very good eyesight, hearing and smell. Wolves are friendly to each other and never attack(攻击) people. They do not kill for fun. Wolves are in danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.

How do you study every day? You may answer it in one second: have classes at school, take notes and do homework. Feeling a little bored? There are other ways that can make learning interesting and varied（多种多样的）. It's called digital learning.

Digital learning is a way to help students learn by using the Internet. There are three important kinds of digital learning. Apps are computer software（软件）applications(应用). People can download them on their mobiles. The other two kinds are social networking services, including Weibo and WeChat and websites. Each one of them is like your teacher. They help you master what you learn at school.

Compared with traditional learning ways, digital learning has its advantages. Digital learning is also varied. It covers almost every school subject. More importantly, it always offers students the newest resources(资源)to learn from.

Digital learning is also personalized（个性化的）. You can choose what you like to learn. If you don't master what you have learned at school, you can learn again through digital ways.

However, digital learning also has disadvantages. When you use digital ways to learn, you've got little chance of talking with teachers and classmates. As digital learning uses computers or smartphones, watching the screen too long may be bad for your eyes. It is better to take a rest every 20 minutes.

61. How do students usually study every day according to the passage?

A. Have classes at school and use online tools at home.

B Have classes at school, take notes and do homework.

C. Learn through digital ways and have classes in the classroom.

D Have classes, take notes and do homework at school.

a. Apps b. smartphones c. computers

d. websites e. mobiles f. Weibo and WeChat

A. abf B. adf C. bce D. cde

63. The underlined word “master” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “____”.

A. 复习 B分析 C. 掌握 D. 归纳

64. What is the problem of digital learning?

A. You can't communicate with your classmates or teachers.

B. You have to use both computers and smartphones.

C. You can't decide what you want to learn by yourself.

D. It's impossible to learn from the newest resources.

65. How can you protect your eyes when learning through digital ways?

A. Try to take a rest for 20 minutes when watching the screen.

B. Try to use traditional ways to learn as often as possible.

C. Try to take a break every 20 minutes if possible.

D Try to learn through digital ways less than 2 hours a day.
