BAustralias koalas could be wiped out within 30 years unless urgent action is taken to stop the losing in population, according to researchers. They say development, climate change and bush fires have all combined to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply. The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than half in the past six years. Previous estimates（估计）put the number of koalas at more than 100,000, but the latest calculations（计算）suggest there could now be as few as 43,000. The foundation collected field data from 1,800 sites and 80,000 trees to calculate the numbers. In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20,000 koalas a decade ago, a team of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of searching.The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests, hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional（营养的）value of their staple food, eucalyptus leaves, leading to poor nutrition for them. Koalas, which live in the forests in Australias east and south, are very fussy (爱挑剔的)about what types of the leaves they eat. Foundation chief Deborah Tabart said: “The koalas are missing everywhere we look. Its really no tree, no me. If you keep cutting down trees you dont have any koalas.” She is hoping the new figures will persuade the governments Threatened Species Steering Committee (TSSC) to list the koala as threatened. But committee chairman Bob Beeton said a decision was not likely recently and the koalas status as one of the countrys favorite animals would not be a factor. “Theres a number of species which are attractive and people have special feelings towards them. We dont consider that,” Mr Beeton was reported as saying by the AFP agency. 25. The writer gives the example of the area in northern Queensland in Paragraph 3 to show that _.A. the forests are being damaged heavilyB. the environment is being polluted seriouslyC.koalas usually live in wild mountainous areas D. the number of koalas is dropping quickly 26. Global warming is an important cause of koalas reduction because _.A. koalas can hardly stand the hot weatherB. the leaves koalas eat are losing nutritional valueC. koalas cannot get enough water to drink D. the leaves koalas eat cannot grow in hot weather27. According to Bob Beeton, _.A. koalas are his favorite animals B. a decision will be made to protect koalasC. they neednt pay special attention to koalas D. koalas neednt be protected at allC(Reuters) A group of Chinese scientists and explorers are looking for international help to organize a new search for the countrys answer to Bigfoot, known locally as the “Yeren”, or “wild man”.Over the years, more than 400 people have said they saw the half-man, half-ape (半猿) Yeren in a remote, mountainous area of the central province of Hubei, state news agency Xinhua said on Saturday.Expeditions in the 1970s and 1980s found hair, a footprint, and a sleeping nest suspected of belonging to the Yeren, but there has been no conclusive proof, the report added.Witnesses describe a creature that walks upright and is more than 2 meters tall with grey, red or black hair all over its body, Xinhua said.Now the Hubei Wild Man Research Association is looking for volunteers from around the world to join them on another expedition to look for the Yeren.“We want the team members to be devoted, as there will be a lot of hard work in the process,” Luo Baosheng, vice president of the group, told Xinhua.But the team will have to come up with about 10 million yuan ($1.50 million) first, and is talking to companies and other bodies to secure the money, so there is no timetable yet for when they may start, the report added.China is no stranger to cryptozoology.

Yeren appeared in Hubei againDNewspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the pastThere are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day. Most people read only the sports pages, the advice or the gossip columns, the comics, and perhaps the classified advertisements. Most people dont take the time to read the real news. Newspapers attempt to catch the readers interest with pictures and exciting headlines. These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper. The first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper. This is why editors always look for a good first page story and headline to make them stop and look. If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough, perhaps they will go on to read the front pageHowever，they may just read the headlines, but that is all, then they turn to the sports page, or comics, or advertisements. It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore. They say they get the news on the television nowMore people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper. What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper? Do you think it is easier to get the news from television? Or do you care about news at all? Would you mind if there were no news?32.
