家长常常抱怨，考试净考那些教材上没教的。学习不能局限于教材，教材只是基础，知识往往在课堂外。随着教育理念的变化，中考和高考英语也逐渐引入了外刊文章作为阅读理解的考试素材。

中考和高考试卷上，考官们也开始从海外报刊选编文章，这些外刊文章内容是鲜活的，表达方式和用语更贴近英美生活，如果同学们平时只看教材就会不适应，所以平时多读读外刊时文对提高英语大有好处，拿高分就更有把握了。

我们继续上几期的内容，同时会对比较深奥的部分做些改写，让它适合中学水平的同学们阅读，欢迎关注，一起学。

本期的内容来自马来西亚，关于马来西亚虎的。

As Malaysia becomes increasingly developed and urbanised, one side effect is that the habitat for endangered wildlife becomes smaller and smaller, leading to interactions between people and protected animals becoming a lot more common.

随着马来西亚不断的开发和城市化，（出现）一个副作用，就是濒危野生动物的栖息地变得越来越小，导致人与受保护动物之间的接触变得更加常见。

Recently, a video of a dead tiger by the side of a road went viral on social media; it is claimed that the Perak Science, Environment and Green Technology committee chairman Teh Kok Lim confirmed the incident happened in Perak when a trailer hit the animal.

近日，一段路边死老虎的视频在社交媒体上疯传。 霹雳州科学、环境和绿色科技委员会主席郑国林证实了这起事件，该事件发生在霹雳州，当时一辆拖车撞到了这只动物。

Mr Teh said that personnel from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks have confirmed that the male tiger that was killed was aged between eight and 10 years old.

郑先生表示，野生动物和国家公园部门的工作人员已证实，死掉的雄性老虎年龄在8岁至10岁之间。

“The carcass of the tiger has been brought to the National Wildlife Rescue Center (NWRC) in Sungkai for the next course of action. The department believes that this tiger is the same one that had been attacking livestock, and creating fear among residents in Kampar,” he said in a statement.

“老虎的尸体已被送往宋溪国家野生动物救援中心（NWRC）进行下一步行动。该部门认为这只老虎与那只在金宝攻击牲畜并造成居民中恐慌的老虎是同一只老虎。”

Mr Teh added that officials have told him that the reduction in wild boar numbers due to African Swine Fever has led to tigers roaming closer to occupied villages.

郑先生补充说，工作人员告诉他，非洲猪瘟导致野猪数量减少，导致老虎在靠近被侵占村庄的地方游荡。

“Cows have been roaming at the oil palm estates at the edge of the jungles, and the tiger has found easy targets to attack for its diet. Cows and other livestock are easier for a tiger to attack compared to wild boar,” he said.

“奶牛一般在丛林边缘的油棕庄园里活动，老虎发现攻击它们来获取食物很容易。 与野猪相比，牛和其他牲畜更容易被老虎攻击，”他说。

Mr Teh said research would be continued to be carried out to ensure the cause of the problem, and measures to handle it.

郑先生表示，将继续进行研究，以查明问题的原因并想办法解决。

如果阅读过程遇到困难，不要轻易放弃，正确的做法是：第一遍一定不要查字典，先泛读一遍，遇到生词可以根据上下文语境猜测，理解文章大致意思，回头再查字典解决生词，最后精读一遍。
