The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious. They are endangered because poachers
hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory.
At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for ivory, which is used to
make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere.
Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to the illegal
ivory trade, Ginette Hemley, Funds vice president for species conservation, told The Washington Post in
September. And so our message is Dont buy it, and dont take that chance.
A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8:30 illegal ivory items between 1995 and
2002. Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said.
As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones are used as a pain reliever
in traditional medicine. Even tigers whiskers are sold because some people in Asia think they are a good-luck
charm like a rabbits foot in the United States. Part of our job is education, said Professor Dillon. The
other part is law enforcement. So we have more than one strategy.

Read the passage and choose the correct answers.

Scientists often divide resources into two groups. renewable and non renewable. When a resource is
used, it takes some times to replace it. If the resource can be replaced quickly and easily, it is called renewable.
If it cannot be replaced quickly and easily, it is non-renewable. All fossil fuels are non-renewable resources.
Solar energy, air, and water are usually called renewable because there is an unlimited supply.
However, this definition may change if people are not careful with these resources. The amount of solar
energy that reaches the earth depends on the atmosphere. If the atmosphere is polluted, the solar energy that
reaches the earth may be dangerous. If humans continue to pollute the air, it will not contain the correct
amounts of these gases.
Many resources are limited and non- renewable, and many are in danger of pollution. As a consequence,
resources must be conserved and the environment protected. Conservation must become an important part of
everyones life.

Asian countries wanted to use a new type of competition where Asian dominance should not be shown by

in London, Indian representative Guru Dutt Sondhi proposed to sports leaders of the Asian teams the idea of
having discussions about holding the Asian Games. They agreed to form the Asian Athletic Federation. A
preparatory committee was set up to draft the charter for the Asian amateur athletic federation. In February,
1949, the Asian athletic federation was formed and used the name Asian Games Federation. It was decided to
hold the first Asian Games in 1951 in New Delhi the capital of India. They added that the Asian Games would
