As both a time-honored and young art, nut carving began to appear as a national cultural heritage in 2008.

Small as it is, it has different styles,(vary) significantly from northern to southern regions.

    The northern style is mainly practiced in Shandong Province where nut carving is often done on peach pits, the surface layer ofis rich in fold texture (纹理) skillfully employed by the miniaturist(carve) vivid three-dimensional shapes.

    The southern style particularly finds its(popular) in Jiangsu Province. When examining Suzhou nut carving(specific); artists tend to select olive pits with thick outer walls and smooth surfaces, allowing for the achievement of fine carvings.

    Nut carving is young as it has only been trendy for about 20 years, featuring a shift from handicrafts to(fashion) items. Modern aesthetics(审美),(combine) with scientific and technological means, make nut carving works more up-to-date and push the craft tonew height.

    The great5 of the little green sprout (新芽) coming into view was always a moment of celebration! Over the summer months, I observed in wonder and appreciation as the sun and the rain6. The seed that had become a plant grew and grew, flowering, and7 many more of the very same seed.

    In the fall with great respect, I gathered the offerings of food, with such8 in knowing that there was enough to plant the following spring.

  • 20、Human voices cause considerably more fear in wild animals than the sound of lions, a study in South Africa has found.

    The Kruger National Park is a popular safari (观兽旅行) destination and is known for its diverse wildlife. Scientists played recordings of people talking normally through speakers hidden at water holes in the Kruger National Park. About 95% of animals were extremely frightened and quickly ran away. Surprisingly, recordings of growling lions brought about significantly less alarm. Some elephants, in response to the big catcalls, even attempted to face the source of the sound.

    The human speech they chose to play included local languages commonly spoken in the country. The study's findings suggest that the animals, which include antelopes, elephants, giraffes, leopards and wild pigs, have learnt that contact with humans is extremely dangerous, due to hunting, gun use and the use of dogs to catch them.

    Over the years, the encroachment (入侵) of human settlements into wildlife habitats and hunting have led to a deep-seated fear of humans among wildlife. The fear goes beyond the Kruger National Park, showing a global pattern where wildlife tends to fear humans more than any other enemies, according to the study. This fear of humans is a challenge for areas that rely on wildlife tourism, as the human visitors they want to attract are scaring off the animals they have come to see.

    The study opens up the potential to protect weak species in these ecosystems. Human sounds, when used appropriately, could help protect wildlife against illegal hunting. This research also highlights the great importance of respectful and responsible wildlife tourism. One thing is clear: the need for a balanced approach to wildlife conservation and tourism has never been greater. As we step into their world, we must remember that we are visitors and that they are rightful inhabitants.

    A、Human visitors will be safer. B、Animal species will be reduced. C、Wildlife tourism will suffer loss. D、Wild animals will be more dangerous.
