1970 was World Conservation（保护）Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger. They hoped something could be done.

Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1,300 kinds of plants, trees and flowers in Holland（荷兰）,but now only 866 are left. The others have been destroyed（毁灭）by modern people and their science. We are polluting earth, air, water and everything around us. We can't live without these things. If things go on like this, we shall destroy ourselves.

What will happen in the future? Perhaps it's more important to ask “What must we do?” More and more young people have known this. Many of them are helping to save our earth. For example, they plant trees. In a small town in the United States a large groupof girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometres of their river. Young people mayhear about conversation through a song called“No one's going to change our world”. It was made by Cliff Gichard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve tigers, elephants and pandas on the earth.

C .Is there something strange high up in the world's tallest mountains? If so, is it a big bear（熊）? Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man?

No one knows.This mystery（谜）has puzzled（困惑）the world（世界）for years. In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints（脚印）in the snow.They looked like the footprints of a very large man. But men don't walk without（无、没有）shoes in the snow!

In 1906, another climber saw more than footprints. Far off, he saw a very large animal standing on two legs. When he watched, it ran very quickly.

Fifteen years later newspapers had new stories about the “something”. A mountain climber said he had seen the “Snowman” walk slowly across（穿过）the snow, far below him. He said it looked like a very large man.

From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints. The pictures showed that the Snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an ape（猿）man? The mystery grew! And the mystery keeps growing.
