Many years ago，there were lots of trees on earth，because summer lasted a whole year．What was the forest like? It is not difficult to see，because parts of that ancient（古老的）forest still stand．It is the rainforest．Here，even in a sunny day water drops through the leaves．

Today's largest rainforest is in South America．It covers about a million square miles．All the trees are very tall；the young trees are nearly sixty feet high．But it is not easy for some to grow higher because very little sunlight leaches them．

Snake meat is popular in restaurants．Some people think eating snakes is good for their health．But these people don't know that mice and bad worms are often in snakes' bodies．And we're sorry to see that some people are killing more snakes．

The English newspaper Shanghai Star says，“People in Shanghai eat about 1,000 tons of snakes every year．In Shenzhen，sometimes people serve 10 tons of snakes on dinner tables in a day．”

If we still do like this，there will be a vicious（惡性的）circle：If people eat more snakes，the snakes will disappear，but the mice will be more，there will be fewer crops．

This will make more people hungry（挨餓）．Who wants to see such a bad thing happen? So let's not eat snakes any more．To protect snakes is to protect ourselves．
