A DAY IN THE CLOUDS

云中的一天

The air is thin and we have to rest several times      the short hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into       (cloud) that seem almost close enough       (touch). On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of        (grace) animals. This is      we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes.
Tibetan antelopes live       the plains of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Qinghai.       (watch) them move slowly across the green grass. I’m      (strike)by their beauty. I’m also         (remind) of the danger they are in. They are being hunted,      (illegal), for their valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi,    village from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter      the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and       (protect) the wildlife is a way    life. “We’re not trying       (save) the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.”
The 1980s and 1990s were bad     (time) for the Tibetan antelope. The population      (drop)by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make      (profit). Their habitats were becoming      (small) as new roads and railways       (build).
In order to save this species from      (extinct), the Chinese government placed     under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night      (keep) them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates      (add) to let the antelopes move      (easy) and keep them safe      cars and trains.
The measures were        (effect). The antelope population       (recover) and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope       (remove) from the      (endanger) species list. The government,      , does not intend     (stop) the protection programmes, since the      (threat) to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.
In the evening, I drink a cup of tea     watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and         Zhaxi told me. Much      (do)to protect wildlife, but           we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only      we learn to exist in harmony       nature can we stop being a threat       wildlife and to our planet.

给难看的动物一个机会！
When     comes to wildlife protection, all species—the good, the bad, and the ugly—should       (treat) equally. Pandas, dolphins, and other cute wildlife are important,       we must pay attention     less cute animals, too. The world needs all kinds—without       (various), our planet cannot survive. So if you want the future to be beautiful, you have to give ugly      chance.
