They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’ s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes(丹顶鹤) in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent (预防) flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands. And on March 12th every year, we plant many trees to protect our earth.

A. They are in the east of China. B. They are in the south of China.
C. They are in the west of China. D. They are in the north of China.

D. We can see many red-crowned cranes in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve every winter.

C. All China’s Wetlands Have Entered the World’s List
D. Wetlands—Home for Wildlife and Human Beings

I’m Wendy. I’m a middle school student. My hometown is Hagley. Hagley is a small town. It is about one and a half hours away from London, the capital of Britain, by bus. Hagley is a very pretty town. In the middle of the town, there is a small lake. There are lots of trees and flowers in the area around the lake. I often walk around the lake with my family on Sunday afternoon. Hagley is a long way from any big cities so there is no pollution and the air is fresh and clean.
Hagley has two schools—one primary school and one middle school. I go to the middle school and my younger brother goes to the primary school. There is no subway in Hagley, so I either walk or ride my bicycle to school.
There are lots of things to do in Hagley. I like going to the shops at the weekend. The shops here are wonderful. Sometimes my parents take me to the local theatre to see a play. On Tuesdays, I go swimming at the local swimming pool and on Fridays. I go to the youth centre to see my friends. Once a month my family eat at a restaurant. There are a lot of restaurants in Hagley. Most are Western restaurants but there is one Chinese restaurant, too.
