大熊貓分布于中國(guó)四川(SichuanProvince)西部、陜西秦嶺南坡以及甘肅文縣等地。它們主要以竹葉、竹桿、竹筍(bamboo)為食。目前由于分布區(qū)的喪失、大熊貓(Panda)是一種有著獨(dú)特黑白相間(blackandwhite)毛色的活潑(lively)動(dòng)物。中國(guó)I級(jí)保護(hù)動(dòng)物，并被列入瀕危(ingreatdanger)野生動(dòng)植物種國(guó)際貿(mào)易公約(CITES)附錄。狩獵、疾病和竹子大面積死亡等原因，野生大熊貓的數(shù)量已降至900-1200只，中國(guó)林業(yè)部門和有關(guān)單位制訂了跨世紀(jì)的“大熊貓保護(hù)工程”，通過擴(kuò)大、新建保護(hù)區(qū)，建立“走廊、通道”，加大宣傳保護(hù)力度，改善棲息環(huán)境等一系列措施，維系野生大熊貓種群。象與泰國(guó)

大象是泰國(guó)的象征。它在泰國(guó)人的心目中占有極為重要的地位——泰國(guó)的歷史、文化、宗教、經(jīng)濟(jì)等都與象有密切的聯(lián)系。在泰國(guó)，象的形象隨處可見，上自國(guó)王下至百姓幾乎人人愛象，對(duì)之情感深厚。

在古代，泰國(guó)人作戰(zhàn)時(shí)，大象就如同戰(zhàn)馬一樣。戰(zhàn)將們以大象為坐騎沖鋒陷陣，君主則以白象作為御騎以增神威。古往今來白象成為泰國(guó)的鎮(zhèn)國(guó)瑞獸，象征昌盛吉兆，在泰國(guó)地位特殊，被視為珍貴之物。Nowmanyanimalsareindangerintheworld,includingelephants.Doyouknowotheranimalsindanger?2aCheck(√)theanimalsthatyouthinkareingreatdanger.___lions___elephants___pandas___giraffes___koalas___tigers√√√save/se?v/v.救；救助flag/fl?g/n.旗;旗幟Thailand/?ta?l?nd/n.泰國(guó)TheelephantisoneoftheTailand’ssymbols.symbol/?s?mbl/n.象征getlost迷路place/ple?s/n.地點(diǎn)；位置forget/f?(r)?ɡet/v.忘記；遺忘water/?w??t?//?wɑ?t?r/n.水cut/k?t/v.砍；切down/da?n/adv.（坐、躺、倒）下cutdown砍倒tree/tri?/n.樹Peoplekillelephantsfortheirivory.ivory/?a?v?ri/n.象牙kill/k?l/v.殺死；弄死dangerflagThailandivoryingreatdangerpandakillsymbolelephant孔雀開屏點(diǎn)擊孔雀，出現(xiàn)第一根羽毛，讀上面的單詞。并點(diǎn)擊一下出現(xiàn)下一根羽毛。以此類推。Practicethewords.Readthepassagequicklyin2b,whatisitabout?Canyoufindoutthetopicsentenceofeachparagraph?主題句是概括一個(gè)段落主要內(nèi)容的句子，有的段落可能不止一句。Hello.WearestudentsfromThailand,andwewanttosavetheelephants.TheelephantisoneofThailand’ssymbols.Ourfirstflaghadawhiteelephantonit.Thisisasymbolofgoodluck.Elephantsaresmartanimals.Theycanplaysoccerormusic.Theycanalsodrawverywell.Peoplesaythat“anelephantneverforgets”.Elephantscanwalkforalongtimeandnevergetlost.Theycanalsorememberplaceswithfoodandwater.Thishelpsthemtolive.Butelephantsareingreatdanger.Peoplecutdownmanytreessoelephantsarelosingtheirhomes.Peoplealsokillelephantsfortheirivory.Todaythereareonlyabout3,000elephants(over100,000before).Wemustsavethetreesandnotbuythingsmadeofivory.RememberthatMarch13thisThaiElephantDay.2bReadthiswebsitearticleandcheck(√)thebesttitleforit._____WhatIsanElephant?_____CometoThailand_____Let’sSavetheElephants_____ElephantsAreGoodPets√1.What’sthetopicofthepassage?Thetopiciselephants.BecausetheelephantisoneofThailand’ssymbols.Theirfirstflaghadawhiteelephantonitandthisisasymbolofgoodluck.2.WhyareelephantsimportantinThailand?Readthearticlecarefullyandanswerthequestions.Theycannotonlyplaysoccerormusicbutalsodrawverywellandrememberplaceswithfoodandwater.Peoplemustsavethetrees,notbuythingsmadeofivoryandhaveThaiElephantDay.Becauseelephantsarelosingtheirhomesandarealsokilledfortheirivory.3.Whatcantheelephantsdo?(Twoexamples)4.Whyareelephantsindanger?5.Whatcanpeopledotosavetheelephants?2cReadthearticleagainandcompletethemindmap.ELEPHANTSImportanceinThailand●firstflaghad__________________________●symbolof__________Abilities●canplay_____________●canalso_______well●can___________placeswithfoodandwaterHowtosavethem●don’tcutdownsomany_______●don’t_______thingsmadeofivory●___________isThaiElephantDayawhiteelephantonitgoodlucksoccerormusicdrawremembertreesbuyMarch13thELEPHANTSFactsandfigures●people_________manytrees●peoplekillthemfor________●todaythereare________________________(over________before)cutdownivoryabout3,000inThailand
