五、阅读理解
Luis Morales is 18 years old and comes from a tiny village in the Andes Mountains in Colombia. Till about seven years ago, one of Luis' favourite activities was to go into the thick forest around his home to hunt wild animals, especially(尤其) birds. Now, however, he and a group of other local young people work with an international organization (组织) called Wildlife World, to study and protect wild animals and their environment.
Wildlife World has founded several of these groups across the area. "Information we get from the children helps us learn how the wild animals use the forest, what they eat and how we can protect them best. The project (项目) is working very well and we hope to found more groups in the future," says the area leader(领导) Felipe Ramos.
Luis is the oldest and most experienced member of his group. "Before I joined, I planned to leave the village as soon as I was old enough to go and find work in the city, like most young people do," Luis says. "But now I want to go to college, become a scientist and come back here to carry on working to save these wild animals and their environment. Being part of the group has had a great influence(影响) on me."
Luis also spends time with the younger children in the village. "There is not much to do here after school," he says. "So I try to ask them to take part in our activities. As well as birdwatching and nature studies, we also do drama and art. The drama has been successful and we now have a theatre group of 30 children, which tours in the area, showing different plays."
