This happened in London. It was November and the weather was very wet and cold. A Frenchman had caught a very bad cold.

But the dictionary did not tell him how to pronounce (发音) the word. He thought it over and remembered that he had learned the word “plough”. He remembered that it was
pronounced[pla?]. So he thought that c-o-u-g-h must be pronounced[ka?].
Then he put on his coat and hat and went to a chemist's shop (药店). When the man in the shop asked him what he wanted, the Frenchman said, “I want something for my ‘cow’, please.” The man in the shop looked at him. Had he heard him correctly? “I beg your pardon, sir?” he asked.
The Frenchman repeated, “I want some medicine for my ‘cow’.” “For your cow?” asked the man. “are you a farmer?”
“A farmer?” said the Frenchman in surprise, “What makes you think I'm a farmer? I e from Paris. I'm not a farmer.” “But where is your cow?”
“It's here!” answered the Frenchman. He put his hand on his chest (胸口) and began to cough. “Here it is,” he said, “I've a very bad ‘cow’ here.”

Over 30% of the natural world has been seriously destroyed by humans over the last 30 years. This is because the number of people living on Earth is over seven billion (十亿). All of these
people need food, space and energy. As a result, lots of Earth's natural resources will be used up. When we destroy our earth to get natural resources such as wood or oil, animals often lose their living space. They cannot have enough food, and they will get hurt or die.
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an international charity. It tries to prevent humans from destroying more of nature than necessary. For example, in China WWF is working with the local government to reconnect (重新连接) some small lakes in Anhui Province to the Yangtze River and to create (创造) more protected areas so that China's natural beauty will not be lost in the future. WWF works in more than 50 countries, saving rainforests and stopping hunters from killing rare animals and protecting traditional ways of life in areas where they are in danger of being lost. WWF'S main goal is to encourage development that does not harm the environment and the animals that live in it. Even though the charity is known all over the world, and a lot of people support the goals of WWF, not so many donate money often. This makes it difficult for the charity to do all the things it wants to do.
