When British musician Paul Barton performs in Lopburi， his energetic listeners react wildly. Some pull his hair or jump on his piano. Others steal his music. These behaviors are normal; however， these crowds are truly wild—wild monkeys to be exact， who are Bartons latest animal fans. Past wildlife audiences included elephants and deer living in special protected areas. He also once played to cows to please them to get more milk.

Barton plays often to the animals in Lopburi， an area known for wild macaque monkeys. The pianist hopes the music shows bring calmness to the animals， which often suffer hunger during the hard time and become aggressive （好斗的）. The limited tourism means fewer people come to see the monkeys and feed them.“On the one hand， we need to make an effort to make sure that they eat correctly. On the other hand， we should try to calm these wild animals down，” said Barton.

Barton has played at four places in Lopburi， including an ancient Hindu temple， a store and an old movie theater. The animals quickly surround Barton when he plays music. Some of the creatures sit on his chair， while others climb up his body and touch his head. However， Barton keeps his attention on his performance， even when some animals run over his hands on the instrument and other animals take controlof his music papers. Barton is happy to find they are curious about him and the piano and enjoy the music as he is playing it.

28. Who are the listeners when Barton performs in Lopburi？

A. Monkeys.? B. Deer.???? C. Cows.???? D. Elephants.

It's been a hard time for rhinos （犀牛） lately. Recently the International Union for Conservation announced the western black rhinos had died out in the wild. It was last seen in western Africa in 2006. Now， those who work to protect the animals are trying to make sure that wont happen to other rhinos.

19 south-central black rhinos in South Africa were driven to an area nearly 1，000 miles away， which was said to be the gentlest and quickest way to transport the animals. They were taken to a new home that would keep them safe from hunters （獵人）.

Though it is not allowed to hunt rhinos， many are still killed for their horns， which can sell for as much as $30，000 each. Most of them are used to make drugs as traditional medicines in Asian countries. Some people believe that the horns work well in treating pain， fever and even cancer. However， there is no medical evidence yet.

Black rhino population began falling rapidly in the second half of the 1900s because of poaching. In fact， some people still hunt the animals at the risk of being put into prison. And many of the places where the animals used to live were destroyed when people started building farms on the grasslands. Until the 1960s， about 65，000 black rhinos lived throughout most of Africa. Today， fewer than 5，000 are left—most of them in zoos and wildlife reserves.

So far， the south-central black rhinos have seen a rise in numbers. It is hoped that， with continued support， these rhinos can escape the unfortunate result of the western black rhinos.

32. What can we learn about the western black rhinos？

A. They disappeared in the early 1990s. B. They once lived in most parts ofAfrica.

C. They were killed in a natural disaster. D. They cannot be seen in the wild at present.

33. Rhinos are hunted mainly because?? .

A. they often hurt people?????? B. they take up too much farmland

C. their horns can be made into drugs?? D. their blood helps people prevent illness

34. The underlined word “poaching” in Paragraph 4 probably means “? ”.

A. losing habitats? B. serious diseases? C. lack of food?? D. illegally killing

35. What can be the best title for the text？

A. The Death of Rhinos?????? B. Saving Black Rhinos

C. The Rhinos in South Africa???? D. The Habits of Black Rhinos
