I, together with my friend James, go to the cinema the other day. The film Never Say No left a deeply impression on me, from which I have learned a lot. No matter what great difficulties we meet with in our life, we shouldn’t lose heart. Instead, you should face up to the problems and manage to overcome them. At the present, I have some difficulties in adapting to my new study life. I’m determined to try harder and more optimistic. And I’m convincing that I can make it with the guidance of my teachers and friends. The film is well worth see once again. Which I suggest doing, my dear friends, is that you should watch it.

The world’s African elephants are in serious danger. 1. And if we do nothing to put an end to the illegal ivory trade, elephants will be extinct from the wild within the next 20 years.
Many believe that an illegal hunter could get ivory without killing the elephant-this is not true. 2. And the rest lies beneath the surface like an iceberg（冰山）in water. The tusk is not just bone but rather it is alive, filled with nerves and blood vessels（血管）and when broken off, the tusks would likely become infected and lead to a slow and painful death.
However, there is a new form of hope rising from nature itself. African elephants are being born without the tusks that illegal hunters have targeted for decades. But why is the largest land mammal on earth now being born tuskless?3.
Is such change beneficial to elephants’ survival in the long term? As we know, elephant tusks ate not just glorious-looking. 4. Therefore scientists are just benspecies.to track the newly tuskless among them, to see how this unfortunate adaptation affects the species.
Ivory hunters are not the only danger faced by elephants today. And more support is needed than ever to create a safe world where elephants can live together with humans happily, tusks and all.5..
A. Action should be taken to protect animals in the world.
B. They also have important uses such as self- defense and digging.
C. Only two-thirds of an elephant’s tusks（象牙）stick out of their mouth.
D. It is estimated that one is killed every 15 minutes for their ivory tusks.
E. That’s because elephants without tusks have a better chance of surviving.
F. After centuries of being hunted by humans, many African elephants are tuskless.
G. And it’s in our power to make this happen by cutting demand and raising awareness.
