六、阅读理解
It is people who make many of the problems that animals face. We change and pollute their habitats. We hunt them for skins, furs, and horns. We kill animals that get in the way (妨碍) of farming or building. And we drive them away from their natural habitats and take them home as pets.
What can you do to help endangered animals? Learn as much as you can about them. The more you know, the more you can help. Try your best to support zoos and wildlife groups. Many zoos keep endangered animals, helping to make sure that they can live on. Work with wildlife protection groups that work hard to protect animals. You can also be a smart shopper and never buy a pet that has grown up in the wild.
The world is made up of many living things, and each thing is dependent on (依赖) the others to live on. If we make even one species (物种) on Earth disappear, it will influence other living things and change our world. When we talk about any endangered wild animals, let's hope we never again have to say, "Gone forever."

B. The lifestyle of animals.（动物的生活方式）未提及。
C. People's behavior to animals.（人们对动物的行为）符合题意。
