His death was a tragic accident in the sea. He died on 4 September 2006 when he was swimming at the Great Barrier Reef(大堡礁) in Queenland, Australia. At the time of his death Steve Irwin was making a film called The Oceans Deadliest Creatures. The film was a documentary about the dangerous animals that live in the sea. He was swimming in shallow water and swam over a stingray. Experts believed that the stingray feels the danger, it flexes its tail(known as a barb) to keep away danger. This can often result in stings, but it is very unusual for stings to cause death. In this case, the sharp barb went into Steve Irwins chest and went through his heart causing massive bleeding. He died from the injuries.Steve Irwins death was a tragic accident, but it shows just how dangerous the sea can be. Many people do not know about the dangers of tides and currents or the trouble they can get into when sailing or doing water sports. Even strong swimmers can find themselves in trouble. So take care when you go to the beach and treat the sea well. （ ）46. Steve Irwin was famous for . A.his talk show B.his drawing C.his acting D.handling dangerous animals（ ）47.

Every animal has its place in the balance(平衡) of nature. We should try to help save the animals.Some people think zoos are good places. The zoos give the animals the comfortable and safe living places. If the animals get hurt or ill, people will take care of them. The zoo is a good place to know the rules in the wild world. We can be much closer to nature. We can know more about the animals in the zoos by watching, listening even smelling instead of just looking at the pictures in books.Some people dont think animals feel happy in the zoos. Animals like pandas, wolves and bears usually live in the wild. They play and find food by themselves. They are free and happy in the wild. If they are in the zoos, food is enough and rooms are comfortable. They do not need to do their best to find food to eat or places to stay in. They just walk around, sleep day and night, but they are not free at all. I think we should build national parks as wild life nature reserves to protect animals. If we do nothing, animals will get fewer and fewer.Help save the animalsIn the 51 l The zoos 52 the animals the comfortable and safe living places.l People will look 53 the animals if they get hurt or ill.l People can be much 54 to nature.l People can watch , listen and 55 to know more about the animals.l Animals dont 56 to worry about their food or rooms.l Animals just walk around, 57 day and night, but they are not free at all.
