　　“They blame Saddam for killing people．But who will judge the leaders for the killings that happen every day now?” said 30-year-old Bahjat．He refused to give his full name out of fear．

Oscar-winning director Ang Lee' s new epic "Life of Pi" reveals the relationship between a teenage Indian boy and a Bengal tiger. But in reality, the predators(食肉動(dòng)物)are under increasing threat from humans. Animal rights group PETA is hoping to use the popularity of the film to focus people's attention on the real life of Bengal tigers.

With the rising demand for tiger parts from East Asia, illegal hunting remains a tremendous danger for the remaining cat population. Back in 1947, there were 40,000 tigers in India, but the number is experiencing a sharp decline t0 1,706 despite campaigns to protect the animal.

Rising man-animal conflict is also one of the leading causes of decline in tiger numbers. In one of numerous reported attacks on the endangered big cats, villagers near The Bangladesh-India border, armed with sticks and boat oars, set upon the animal suspected to have attacked a local fisherman and beat it to death earlier this month. So far this year, 58 tiger deaths have been reported in the country.

"The first instinct when a tiger is spotted is to just kill it,"grieved Gurmeet Sapal, a wildlife filmmaker. "The feeling of fear and revenge is so strong that it shuts out any other emotion. What we don' t realize is that the tiger never attacks humans until it is forced to. "'

India has been struggling to stop the tiger's decline in the face of the loss of habitat as well that encourages the animals to leave the forest for food. " The tiger's rapidly exhausted prey base causes the predator to go al! out to get its food. Consequently, livestock and human beings become easy prey, which leads inevitably to conflict," says a wildlife conservationist.

Filmmaker Sapal says it is only normal for people to think of the tiger as a dangerous animal, but its image as a human killer bears some injustice. "Tigers never kill for sport nor store meat. They kill their prey only in case of hunger. " 

1.How can PETA take advantage over the hot movie “ Life of Pi ”?

A. PETA can count on the movie to promote people' s awareness of tiger' s life.

B. PETA can make enough money by encourage people to watch the movie.

C. The movie demonstrates that humans and tigers can live in harmony.

D. The movie offers a wonderful opportunity for movie to act in.

2.Why did the villagers beat the tiger to death?

A. Because it was a human killer and attempted to attack people.

B. Because it was suspected to be a threat to local people' s lives.

C. Because local people just followed their instinct to kill it.

D. Because people wanted to carry out their revenge for it.

3.According to the article, when will tigers attack and kill people?

A. When they are annoyed by people.

B. When they have conflict with people.

C. When they are driven to act in the movie.

D. When they are hungry or attacked.

4.What contributes to the facts that livestock and human beings become easy target of tigers?

A. It is easier for tigers to hunt human beings than other animal for food.

B. Tigers are losing their habitat and forced to go out of the woods.

C. People hold a strong belief that tigers are a born threat to their lives.

D. Tigers can't be treated equally as other animal in the forest

Early this month, on the Egyptian-Israeli border not far from her hometown, a series of bombings killed 35 people and injured more than 160. Despite the attack, life quickly returned to normal. Living under the threat of attack is normal here.

Israel teenagers’ interests are not very different from others’. “Low-cut jeans（低腰牛仔褲）and miniskirts are very in,”said Hinanit, an 18-year-old teenager.

“You cannot let the fighting control what you do and don’t do. Of course I am scared sometimes, but I still go out and have fun. Yon always have to be careful, and things are probably more dangerous now, but I still love Israel. It is my home, and I would not leave it for anything!” Cohen said.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian boy named Bilal lies in a hospital bed, with his friends round, praying for his life. He has been in a coma（昏迷）since Israeli soldiers shot him on his way to school last month. In this recent military action, Israeli soldiers have killed at least 83 Palestinians, including 24 children.

Palestinian children lead a dangerous life under the watchful eyes of Israeli soldiers. Israel presents them as terrorists（恐怖分子）and faceless stone throwers. Many Palestinian children have been driven away from homes into crowded and hungry refugee camps with their families. “Even if we are surrounded by Israeli soldiers and have no food, we will stand and defend our country,” said Fatima Al-Aidi，a 13-year-old teenager, who lost a friend in Israel’s recent attack. “I hope to carry a lot of weapons and take my revenge（報(bào)復(fù)）one day. I hope the day comes when the enemy leaves Palestine.”
