But that doesnt mean theyre doing alright in the wild.TigersAll six tiger species are endangered, with Sumatran tigers and South Chin tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats(栖息地), as humans clear forests to gather timber（木材）and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.Ground squirrelsThats right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human development going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown, but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 413000.GiraffesThe International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable(脆弱的) status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.Asian elephantsThe main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.21.

A plant uses only a small part of that energy and the rest goes into the soil, and thats where the E-Kaia collects it.

They brought this original model, and it worked and thats when it all changed, at least from my personal point of view and I began to support them. said Mauricio Cifuentes.The device solved two problems for the engineering students they needed an idea for a class project, and an outlet to plug in their phones.Looking for a place to charge the notebook, which had no power, and the mobile phones, we werent able to find anything because all the other students were in the same state of madness trying to find a place to charge their devices, said Aravena.But plants are everywhere, and the biocircuit makes the best of their excess(过多的) power.The E-Kaia doesnt carry much charge but its powerful enough to completely recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.The student inventors have applied for patents on their technology, and expect the E-Kaia to go on sale in December 2016.32.

I am writing to tell you something around us.Nowadays, as the development of Chinas urbanization, thousands of people move into cities, leave their children at home. However, many of these left-behind children have problems, which always feel lonely or stressed out and are more likely make mistakes. They even behave illegal due to lack of their parents love and care.How can we solve a problem? In my eyes, our government should balance the economic develop in different area. Besides, we can organize “hand-in-hand” activities to call on more people to help them. Its very important for us to pay more attention to these children if you want to build in a harmonious society.Best wishes to you!
