Natural heritage sites are not only beautiful and inspiring, but they also provide essential ecosystem services. They regulate climate, filter water, and support unique biodiversity (生物多样性). By setting up natural heritage, we safeguard not only the environment but also our cultural and spiritual well-being.
Human activities such as deforestation, pollution, over-exploitation, and climate change are posing significant threats to natural heritage sites. These activities damage the delicate balance of ecosystems, leading to the loss of biodiversity and threatening the survival of endangered species. Furthermore, the destruction of natural heritage sites disrupts the cultural traditions and spiritual beliefs of local communities.
Protection for natural heritage
To protect natural heritage, governments, organizations, and individuals must work together. Effective conservation strategies include establishing protected areas, promoting sustainable tourism, and implementing environmental policies. After all, Public appreciation leads to daily protection of natural heritage.
Benefit of natural heritage conservation

By taking action to protect our natural heritage today, we ensure a healthier planet and a brighter future for generations to come

The natural wonders of our planet are endless, from the Amazon rainforest to the Great Barrier Reef. However, these iconic ecosystems are under threat due to human activities and climate change. To safeguard these treasures, governments and organizations worldwide are implementing conservation strategies.
One such strategy is the creation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), which serve as safe zones for marine life. MPAs help preserve the health of oceans and coastlines, ensuring the survival of countless species. According to the United Nations, over 15,000 MPAs have been established worldwide, covering approximately 2.7% of the world's oceans.
Another important aspect of conservation is the restoration of damaged ecosystems. Coral reefs, which are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth, are severely threatened by climate change and pollution. Reef restoration projects, such as the one led by the non-profit organization Reef Recovery in the Philippines, are working to replant damaged corals and restore underwater habitats.
Education and public awareness also play a significant role in conservation efforts. Environmental organizations like World Wildlife Fund and Greenpeace are leading campaigns to raise awareness about the importance of individuals' preserving our natural heritage. Social media has also played a significant role in highlighting the urgency of conservation, reaching a wide audience and inspiring action.
The fight to protect our planet's natural wonders is ongoing and it requires the collective effort of governments, organizations, and individuals alike. By working together and adopting sustainable practices, we can ensure that future generations inherit a world full of breathtaking natural wonders.
(1)、Which organization is leading the coral reef restoration project?A、Marine Protected Areas. B、United Nations. C、Reef Recovery. D、World Wildlife Fund(2)、What is the aim of Greenpeace?A、To lead present organizations. B、To inspire individual action. C、To highlight current situation.

The natural heritage of our planet is under threat like never before. Human activities, climate change, and habitat destruction have caused the loss of countless species and ecosystems. To protect what remains, conservation efforts are being stepped up around the world.
One such effort is the establishment of nature reserves, which provide safe havens for endangered species and help restore damaged ecosystems. In China, the establishment of nature reserves has been a priority. According to the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, there are now more than 900 nature reserves covering over 150 million hectares, protecting over 85% of China's endangered species.
Another critical (关键的) aspect of conservation is the recovery of endangered species. The Chinese alligator (扬子鳄), once on the brink of extinction, is now making a comeback thanks to conservation efforts. The species has been reintroduced into the wild, and its population has been growing steadily. Similar success stories can be found in China's nature reserves, where efforts to save the Siberian tiger, giant panda, and other endangered species are paying off.
However, conservationists warn that these successes are fragile, and continued efforts are essential to ensure the survival of these species and their habitats. Education and public awareness are also crucial in the fight against habitat destruction and illegal hunting. Only by working together can we ensure that future generations inherit a healthy and diverse natural heritage.

D、Nature reserves.(2)、What achievement has China made up to now?A、Recovery of nature reserves. B、Extinction of Chinese alligator. C、Growth of Siberian tiger. D、Decline of giant Panda.(3)、What is important for the survival of endangered species according to the article?A、Education about life habits. B、Laws for illegal hunting. C、Continued joint effort. D、Diverse natural heritage.(4)、What is the main idea of the passage?A、Conservation efforts in natural heritage. B、Success stories of nature reserves. C、Great recovery of endangered animals.

Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn't have the three extra dollars to buy it for him. It was a kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was a kind of product that wasted a parent's money and made me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, "It's just yoghurt. What's the big deal?" So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then-bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.

Building up your confidence not only helps feel good about yourself but also helps you leave a good impression on others. Here are some tips that may help you achieve it.
Make sure to present yourself well. Shower daily, brush your teeth, fix your hair and dress for confidence. You don't have to buy a whole new wardrobe to feel better. As long as you're clean, comfortable and feel good, you've set up for confidence!
Perfect your posture. How you carry yourself conveys a lot to others. Keep your shoulders back, your spine (脊椎) straight, and your chin high. Positioning yourself like that will make you genuinely feel in charge. And to top it off, having confident body language has been linked to lower levels of stress, too.
You will be surprised how even the smallest of smiles can disarm many a social situation and make everyone feel more comfortable. In fact, research shows that smiling reduces stress hormones in the brain. Can you imagine approaching someone who has a black look? No, thank you.
Make eye contact. Our eyes are windows to the soul, and our gaze (凝视) showcases our attention and feelings. Eye contact is a subtle change, but it can work wonders on how other people perceive you. It shows not only that you are a person worthy of communicating with, but it tells them you respect them, and acknowledge their presence.
A.Keep your smile in easy reach.
B.The same goes for your face and hands.
C.It should only be up to yourself to appear confident.
D.So don't be afraid to meet the gaze of someone else.
E.Devote a little time each day to your own personal image.
F.Other people are actually just as shy about eye contact as you are.
G.Walk with a sharp pace instead of dragging your feet and sit up straight.
