The m ost fam ous of these anim al s are dinosaurs. They l ived on the earth tens mil li on of years ago,l ong before humans cam e i nto bei ng and thei r future seemed secure at that tim e. There were many di fferent ki nds of di nosaur and a num ber of them used to li ve i n chi na. The eggs of twentyfi ve speci es have been found i n Xi xia County,N anyang,H enan provi long ago a rare new species of bi rdli ke di nosaur was di scovered in Country,l iaoni ng Provi nce. When sci entists i nspected the bones, they were surpri sed to fi nd that these di nosaurs coul d not only run li ke the others but al so cl imb trees. They l earned this from the way the bones were joi ned together. Di nosaurs died out suddenly about 65m il li on years ago. Some sci entists thi nk i t cam e after an unexpected i nci dent when a huge rock from space hi t the earth and put too m uch dust i nto the ai thers thi nk the earth got too hot for the dinosaurs to li ve on any m knows for sure why and how di nosaur disappeared from the earth in such a short tim e. We know many other wi ld pl ants, animals,i nsects and bi rds have di ed out more recently. Accordi ng to a UN report , some 844 anim al s and pl ants have disapeared in the last 50 dodo i s one of them. It li ved on the Isl and of Mauri ti us and was a very fri endl y anim al .Please l isten to a story of the dodo and how it disappeared from the earth. (3) The return of the m il u deer My name i s Li nhui. I li ke to tel l stori es about peopl e who work i s even beter i s when countri es hel p each other and buil d a god fri endshi p. An excel ent exam pl e of this hapened when Bri tai n and Chi na worked together to bring the Mi l u deer back to Chi na. The Mil u deer,a speci es wi th l arge horns, used to be m on in China l ong ke other deer they l ive together and eat grass and the soft parts of trees such as sm al lu deer were often hunted for fod or sport i n the past. The ,Ming and Qing dynasti es di d not protect them and many were kil ed. That i s how the Mil u deer disappeared from Chi na. Luckil y before al of them were ki l ed, som e were taken to Bri tai n to im prove the envi ronm ent of the beautiful park whi ch bel onged to the Duke of e l iked them so much that he tok them al the way from Chi na to Britai n. The Mil u der li ked the col, wet weather in Engl and and thei r number i ncreased year by year. As a result, when in 1985 the governm ent of Chi na wanted to rei ntroduce the Mil u deer,the Duke of Bedford was happy to hel p. The fi rst deer cam e back to Chi na to the N anhaizi Mil u Park 20 ki lom eters south of Beijing and the centre i n Dafeng, Jingsu Province. The deer centai nl y seem hapy to be back i n Chi na because thei r numbers have grown rapi are now so many of them that a new park has ben opened for them i n Hebei Province. At the mom ent the Mil u deer li ve i n centres where they are bei ng wel l protected and care for . It i s hoped that one day there wil be enough anim al s to l et them li ve in the wi l d agai Bri tai n hel ped China by bri ngi ng back an anim al that had disappeared from i ts homeland. Thi s is a good exam pl e of fri endshi p and understandi ng between these two countri es. Uni t 5 The band that wasn’t H ave you ever wanted to be part of a band as a fam ous singer or musi ci ans? Have you ever dream ed of pl ayi ng i n front of thousands of peopl e at a concert, at which everyone is cl appi ng and appreci ati ng your m usic? Do you si ng Karaoke and pretend you are a fam ous si nger l ike Song Zuying or Li u H uan? To be honest, a l ot of peopl e atach great im portance to bei ng rich and famous. But just now do people form a band? Many m usicians m eet and form a band because they li ke to wri te and pl ay their own m usi c. They may start as a group of highschool students, for whom practi si ng thei r m usi c in som eone’s house is the fi rst step to fame. Som etimes they may pl ay to passersby i n the stret or subway so that they can earn som e extra m oney for them selves or to pay for thei r i nstruments. Later they m ay gi ve perform ances i n pubs or cl ubs, for which they are pai d i n cash. O f course they hope to m ake records i n a studi o and sel mil li ons of copi es to be e m il i onai res! H owever, there was one band that started i n a different way. It was cal ed the Monkes and began as a TV show. The musi ci ans were to pl ay jokes on each other as wel as play m usi c, most of whi ch was based l oosel y on the Beatles. The TV anizer had planned to find four musi cians who coul d act as wel as sing. They put an adverti sement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was god enough.
