Tigers are strong and dangerous animals. But now they are in danger.

In the past,there were eight kinds of tigers in the world. But during the 20th century,only five were left. The number of Siberian tigers (東北虎) was about 300,.but now it is less than 22. They’re in danger oi dying out. li the government does nothing,we won^,t  be able to see them in ten to twenty years.

In order to stop people from hunting and killing wild tigers,and in order to make wild tigers more,

the World Wildlife Fund (世界自然基金會) has started a program (項目) recently (最近). China and twelve other countries joined it.

However,it's not enough. Remember that nature is a Tood chain (鏈). If we hurt and kill too many wild deer and pigs,wild tigers will die out because of hunger (饑餓). So the most important thing is to save the animals that tigers eat. In order to protect the wild tigers,we need call on (號召) more people

We have to accept (接受) the truth ： sometimes,we just want to shout out loud.

For example,we all have days like this： our dog has made a mess on the floor we just cleaned,or our friend called to tell us he or she couldn't come at the last minute when we had cooked dinner for

him or her. We may be really angry but we tried to bear things like

those. According to ancient Chinese wisdom (智慧) ，we should shout in a loud voice instead of keeping silent. In fact,it's good for our health.

“ Chinese people have passed on the practice from ancient times to now as a part oi traditional medicine.”said Mrs. Li,a 60-year-old woman from Hangzhou. “ My parents taught me to do this. It's a part of our folk (民間的) culture. ”

Mrs. Li is member of a group of people who love shouting. Each morning,she and some of her friends climb to top of the hill,and let out loud shouts before starting their daily exercise. They believe

that shouting is good exercise for their lungs (肺) and it brings them a lot of fun.

“ Sometimes I shout out and others shout back”’ said Mrs. Gu,another shouting lover. “ It makes you happy. You laugh and then you feel very comfortable. ”

Dr. Peter Calafiura,an American doctor,agrees that shouting can have a positive influence on people's health.

So,next time you start your morning run,why not try to shout out first? It will make you healthier.

(1)Being a youth is one thing,and being a good one is another. A good youth should have these

qualities (品德) ：First of all,health. A good body is the best riches. Without it,nothing can be done

well. If you are poor in health,you will have to take medicine day after day. Even you can't work,do sports and so on. Secondly,one must be of good quality. Always do something for others. Help those introuble and care about the people around you. If everyone did the same，(2) what a wonderful world thiswould be!Thirdly,one must have the ability to work with others. Cooperation and communication (和交流) are two important keys to better human relations. Everyone needs friends because no one can

live through life alone or do everything he wants to.

Besides the examples above,patriotism is the one we should never forget. Patriotism means a love for

one's country. It's one of the highest qualifies of human^, s. Everyone should love his own country. Butpeople sometimes think patriots (愛國者) must be fighters or that they live in a time of fighting for theircountry. That is wrong. A good youth 's  work is not only fighting. A good youth will do the things his country asks him to do.

I think a good youth of today should also have some training in art. If everyone can enjoy art and be

able to make more of it for others,then people will live better and enjoy more.
