五、(家乡江苏)任务型阅读。〔人与社会——历史、社会与文化〕
The milu deer, one of China's most beloved animals, is also one of its strangest. How else could you describe an animal that has the face of a horse, the hoofs(蹄) of a cow, the antlers(鹿角) of a red deer(马鹿), and the tail of a donkey?
The history of the species is nearly as strange as its body. The milu deer used to be seen often in China long ago. Like other deer, they lived together and ate grass as well as the soft parts of trees, such as small branches. However, milu deer were often hunted for food or sport in the past. The Ming and Qing dynasties did not protect them and many were killed. In 1900, the milu deer disappeared from China.
However, some milu deer were taken to Europe. The Duke of Bedford from Britain collected all the milu deer from Europe and put them in his deer park. The deer liked the cool, wet weather in England, and their numbers increased year by year. In 1985, 22 milu deer were reintroduced from Britain to China and placed in Beijing. The next year another 39 milu deer arrived at Dafeng Milu National Nature Reserve in Jiangsu Province.
The milu deer certainly seemed happy to be back in China because their numbers started to grow steadily. There were soon so many of them that 64 milu deer were sent to a newly opened reserve in Shishou, Hubei Province from Beijing in the 1990s. They could move freely in the reserve, feed completely on wild plants, and continue to grow safely.
At the moment, the milu deer are still living in reserves where they are being protected and cared for. As a result, their population is now increasing fast. Soon a new chapter will be added to the strange tale of these special animals. The milu deer are being trained to survive outside the reserve so that they can return to the wild one day. The rescue of the milu deer is already a success story. Now it is up to us to make sure that the milu deer live happily ever after.
