China’s Yangtze River is the world’s third-longest river. It is home to nearly 400 species of fish. However, the Chinese paddlefish( 白 鲟 ), once c1.in the area, is no longer a member of this ecosystem. Scientists from China said recently that the species had completely d2.. The fish l3.went extinct( 灭 绝 ) sometime between 2005 and 2010. “It’s very sad,” said Zeb Hogan, a U.S. biologist. “We’ve lost a unique animal. There is no h4.of recovery.”
The Chinese paddlefish was one of the world’s l5.freshwater fish species. It could grow to seven meters. The fish has a big n6.that earned it the nickname “elephant fish.” The Chinese paddlefish was an a7.species. It first appeared in the Jurassic period(侏罗纪时期). After existing for 200 million years, the species finally went extinct because of human a8..
Scientists warn that many freshwater fish species in the Yangtze River are in d9.. The Chinese paddlefish was only the first to disappear. Fortunately, China has taken a10.. In January, the country started a ten-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River.
They hang from trees. They float in rivers and oceans. They are piled up in landfills(垃圾填埋场). Our frequent use of plastic products has, for many years, been a leading cause of serious environmental problems in the world. Last month, China drew up new guidelines(指导方针) aiming to bring plastic pollution under control across the country in five years’ time.
According to the new guidelines, the ban(禁令) on the use of non-biodegradable(不可生物降解的) plastic bags will have been applied to cities including Beijing and Shanghai by the end of this year. Other sources of plastic garbage will have been banned in these cities by the end of 2022. And that rule will have extended nationwide by late 2025.
Fortunately, China will not start from zero. Late last year, the country announced a national standard for biodegradable plastic shopping bags. It is technologically prepared for their production. Some regions have gained valuable experience that others can learn from. For example, Jilin province is leading the way by providing eco-friendly(环保的) shopping bags in some local supermarkets.
Given the size of China’s consumer market, one main obstacle(障碍) is the large number of plastic items that are being used by restaurants and e-commerce(电子商务) platforms. It’s estimated that nearly 25 billion plastic bags were used for deliveries in 2018. Most of them were rarely reused.
However, most Chinese people welcomed the government’s effort to reduce the use of plastics. “Beijing is thinking about the problem seriously,” said Tang Damin, a member of Greenpeace East Asia in Beijing. He added that the policy could be far more effective(有效) by using incentives(激励) such as a deposit(押金) return program on plastic products.

Cats are often considered lazy. They love napping( 打 盹 ) on their own comfortable beds.However, as Gary the cat shows us, some kittens also love adventure.
Gary is a five-year-old long-haired cat. He goes on camping trips in the Rockies(落基山脉) with his owners every weekend. The cat has his own social media page. He can often be seen exploring snowy peaks( 高 峰 ) in a warm jacket. The cat also enjoys taking pictures with his dog brothers.
James Eastham is Gary’s “dad” and his social media manager. Eastham met Gary when the cat was about two years old. It turned out that Gary was born with an interest in exploring the great outdoors. He would manage to escape from Eastham’s apartment several times every month. Eastham and his wife then started to take Gary out for walks.
Shortly after that, the Easthams moved to the mountains. Slowly, Gary went on bigger and bigger adventures. He started with the family’s yard and then parks. As Gary became more comfortable outside, his owners took him on trips to more distant(遥远的) places and for longer periods of time. Eventually, Gary was ready for the mountains and all the fun outdoor activities. This past winter, Gary even tried skiing for the first time.
When he is tired, Gary will just “hitch a ride( 搭便车)” on his owners.“These days, he prefers to ride on my shoulders instead of in his pack,” said Eastham.
According to Eastham, outdoor adventures seem to have been good for Gary. The cat used to be shy. Now, he has become much more confident around strangers. “He has even gotten friendlier,” said Eastham.
Gary has become one of the most famous cats on the internet. However, it seems the fame hasn’t gone to his head. “Gary is still a cat,” said Eastham. “It mostly only cares about having enough treats(美餐) every day.”
