In today’s class, the teacher gave every student a list of animals in danger. Seeing that, Tony asked Jacob in a low voice, “There are so many animals in danger. Do you know any of 1． (they)?”

Jacob nodded. “Yes. I know blue whales. My sister is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals in the wild. She once told me about blue whales. They’re the 2． (large) animals ever known to be on the earth.” At once, Tony became 3． (interest), saying, “Wow! That they’re even bigger than dinosaurs(恐龙).” The rest of the school day, Tony couldn’t help 4． (think) about this great animal.

As soon as he came home, Tony used his computer 5． (find) more information about blue whales. He learned that an adult blue whale weighs about 200 tons. That’s about forty times 6． (heavy) than an African elephant.

While Tony 7． (read) the information online, his mother came. She asked, “Why do you show a sudden interest in blue whales?”

“We’re learning about endangered animals, and the blue whale is one of them,” said Tony, “People hunt them for meat and oil. 8． (连词) , there are fewer of them now. It’s a pity that the beautiful whales may become extinct (灭绝的) in the future.”

“That would be awful,” replied Tony’s mother.

Thinking for a while, Tony said excitedly, “Mom, I know I want to be a biologist when I grow up! I 9． (help) save blue whales and make a difference to them.” His mom smiled and said, “I’m proud of you. And you 10． (study) hard to make your dream come true.”

Tony is a kind boy. What’s your ideas about the animals in danger? What will you do to help them? How about talking with your friends after class?
