第三节

听下面一篇短文。根据短文内容，写出下面表格中所缺的单词，每空仅填一词。短文读两遍。

M: Do you know there is an amazing animal in Shanxi? It's the North-Chinese leopard, a kind of big wild cat. They are good jumpers and can run as fast as a car.They are usually about two meters long and weigh about sixty-five kilos. Most of them live in the forest of Taihang Mountain in Shanxi. However, the number of North-Chinese leopards is dropping, because there are fewer forests. In some areas, when they can't find enough food, they will go to the villages to eat some farm animals like sheep or cows, so villagers sometimes kill or hurt them to protect their animals. But here is also good news. We are trying to protect leopards. Ant Forest has worked with government and built a protection area for leopards in Heshun, Jinzhong.CFCA, an organization to protect the big cats, provides villagers with money if their animals are hurt or killed by leopards. With hard work, we hope Shanxi will be home to the North-Chinese leopards forever. Maybe you can also do your part.
