二、阅读理解

Fernando Trujillo, a scientist from Columbia, spends most of his life studying river dolphins, which are also known as pink dolphins. He tries his best to save this kind of animals and provide them with a better living environment(环境).
Trujillo took a strong interest in wild animals when he was a kid. His grandfather often took him to the Orinoco River. With all kinds of wildlife, such as colourful birds and monkeys swinging from trees, the Orinoco River was a perfect place to have fun. When he went on a trip to the Amazon River, Trujillo met river dolphins for the first time, "I fell in love with the river dolphins as soon as I saw them. Even now, 35 years after we first met, I still feel excited to play with them," Trujillo said with a smile.
River dolphins mainly live in the Amazon River, and they mean a lot to people living near the river. They think river dolphins are sacred, can bring peace and joy to them and ensure the harvests. Sadly, river dolphins are in danger because of overfishing, climate change and deforestation(滥伐森林).
"When I began to do studies near the Amazon River, an accident happened. A river dolphin and her baby were trapped in a fishing net. I tried to save them with some local people, but we failed," said Trujillo. He felt heartbroken, and then he built a protection area for river dolphins in the Amazon River.
Trujillo works closely with the local government and communities. He helps train local fishermen to use dolphin-friendly nets and organizes monthly river clean-up activities. He hopes his wild friends can live a safe life in the future.
