He’s as big as a small glden dg and cvered with scales (鳞片). He is the panglin (穿山甲), an endangered animal.
Accrding t the wildlife trade mnitring rganizatin Traffic, abut ne millin panglins were killed frm 2000 thrugh 2013, mainly fr their scales, which are used in medicine. Panglins are sensitive creatures and picky eaters that nly eat certain species f ants, a diet that’s very difficult t cpy in the fd chain.
“In the last decade, there’s been a huge grwth trade in panglins between cntinents, especially their scales,” says Dan Challender, chair f the panglin specialist grup. Previusly, mst panglin killing happened within Asia, he says. This shift means that Asian panglins are becming difficult t find but that the value f the scales makes it wrth the extra cst t take panglins frm Africa t Asia secretly.
All eight species f panglins, fur in Africa and fur in Asia, are in danger f extinctin due t the illegal trade. Internatinal trade in the fur species f Asian panglins has been banned since 2000. In the past few years, a ban n internatinal cmmercial trade in all eight species has gne int effect. It was vted by 183 gvernments that are parties t the Cnventin n Internatinal Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which is in charge f crss-brder trade in wild animals and their parts.
Panglins are eaten as bushmeat in western and central Africa and by sme lcal grups in Suth and Sutheast Asia. Their parts als are used in Ghana, Nigeria, Suth Africa, and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa as traditinal medicine. Typically dried, grund int pwder, and put int pills, panglin scales are used in a range f traditinal medicines t help mthers wh have given birth t babies t recver. But they are nw endangered. Perhaps n panglins can be seen when ur next generatin grw up.
8. What d yu knw abut panglins frm Paragraph 2?
A. Their meat is very delicius.
B. Their scales are f great value.
C. They are smaller than yung dgs.
D. They are n the tp f the fd chain.
9. Why are panglins brught frm Africa t Asia?
A. Panglins are cheaper in Africa.
B. N laws prtect panglins in Africa.
C. Peple in Asia can really save panglins.
D. Panglins have sharply decreased in numbers in Asia.
10. What des the furth paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Panglins have many different species.
B. The bans n panglin trade are ineffective.
C. Peple used t take advantage f panglins in different ways.
D. Gvernments have tried t cntribute t the prtectin f panglins.
11. What’s the authr’s attitude twards panglins’ future?
A. Psitive.B. Uncaring.C. Cncerned.D. Cnfident.

Have yu ever nticed that the stars smetimes appear brighter in December, January and February? There's a link between cld air and the night lights. "Part f it is that it tends t be drier in the winter," said Diane Tumshek, an astrnmer at Carnegie Melln University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even thugh it's invisible, misture can change the way light mves thrugh the air. And in the summer, misture can make stars appear mre dull.
Air temperature is als what puts the twinkle twinkle in the little stars. "Even n very clear nights, sme f the atmsphere is cler, and sme f the atmsphere is warmer,” said Tumshek, wh als wrks with the Allegheny Observatry. And when the light frm a star passes thrugh thse bubbles f varying temperatures, "it bends and shifts the light, s that we are seeing stars appear t dance r twinkle,” she said.
Fr star lvers in the United States, there's anther factr that cmes int play fr bright winter stars, althugh this is a matter f cincidence. During Earth's jurney arund the sun, “there are just simply mre bright stars visible frm the Nrthern Hemisphere in the winter sky," Tumshek said. If yu really want t see a shiny star, just try t find a burning ball f gas called Sirius near the hrizn. At 8.6 light-years away, Sirius is relatively clse t Earth and the brightest star visible in the night sky. It is als large — nearly twice as big as ur sun and 20 times as bright. S this winter, when the wrld turns cld and it seems like we shuld be spending mre time indrs, cnsider asking an adult t g explring utside. With a warm cat and a clear sky, any night can be turned int a treasure hunt. All yu have t d is lk up.
12. What des the underlined wrd "dull" in Paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. nt shinyB. nt excitingC. nt severeD. nt smart
13. Hw des air temperature influence the brightness f stars?
A. By changing the bubbles arund them.B. By putting the twinkle twinkle in them.
C. By varying the directin f the light frm them.D. By making the stars dance and twinkle in the sky.
14 What d we knw abut Sirius?
A. It can be fund at any night.B. It is 20 times as bright as the sun.
C. It is a burning and shiny ball.D. It is clser t Earth than ther stars,
15. What is the authr's purpse in writing the text?

He’s as big as a small glden dg and cvered with scales (鳞片). He is the panglin (穿山甲), an endangered animal.
Accrding t the wildlife trade mnitring rganizatin Traffic, abut ne millin panglins were killed frm 2000 thrugh 2013, mainly fr their scales, which are used in medicine. Panglins are sensitive creatures and picky eaters that nly eat certain species f ants, a diet that’s very difficult t cpy in the fd chain.
“In the last decade, there’s been a huge grwth trade in panglins between cntinents, especially their scales,” says Dan Challender, chair f the panglin specialist grup. Previusly, mst panglin killing happened within Asia, he says. This shift means that Asian panglins are becming difficult t find but that the value f the scales makes it wrth the extra cst t take panglins frm Africa t Asia secretly.
All eight species f panglins, fur in Africa and fur in Asia, are in danger f extinctin due t the illegal trade. Internatinal trade in the fur species f Asian panglins has been banned since 2000. In the past few years, a ban n internatinal cmmercial trade in all eight species has gne int effect. It was vted by 183 gvernments that are parties t the Cnventin n Internatinal Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which is in charge f crss-brder trade in wild animals and their parts.
Panglins are eaten as bushmeat in western and central Africa and by sme lcal grups in Suth and Sutheast Asia. Their parts als are used in Ghana, Nigeria, Suth Africa, and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa as traditinal medicine. Typically dried, grund int pwder, and put int pills, panglin scales are used in a range f traditinal medicines t help mthers wh have given birth t babies t recver. But they are nw endangered. Perhaps n panglins can be seen when ur next generatin grw up.

Have yu ever nticed that the stars smetimes appear brighter in December, January and February? There's a link between cld air and the night lights.

At 8.6 light-years away, Sirius is relatively clse t Earth and the brightest star visible in the night sky. It is als large — nearly twice as big as ur sun and 20 times as bright. S this winter, when the wrld turns cld and it seems like we shuld be spending mre time indrs, cnsider asking an adult t g explring utside. With a warm cat and a clear sky, any night can be turned int a treasure hunt. All yu have t d is lk up.
