Animal experts say one of the world's most beautiful and rare kinds of big cat is close to disappearing from the wild. A study earlier this year found that about thirty Amur leopards(豹)still live free. The cats are also called Far Eastern leopards.
Recently, their number has been reduced by one, Some person shot a female Amur, then beat her to death. The animal's body was discovered last month in the Barsovy National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Russia.
An official of the World Wildlife Fund, Darron, said this was the third such killing in the area in the past fives years. Mr, Collins said the death of even one adult female is a huge loss for the endangered cat, He noted that the killing reduces the possibility for cubs（幼兽）or young.
It is not clear how many Amur leopards still live free. One population count was performed in February and March. Wildlife expert Dmitry Pikuuov led this study. It found evidence of seven to nine males. The study identified three to seven females without cubs, Four leopards were identified as females with cubs. In all, five or six cubs were recorded, Six to eight animals could not be identified.
Most of the land where the Amur leopard once lived was in China.New roads and climate change there threatened the animals. So did hunters who kill big cats for their body parts.
Mr. Pikuuov says adult Amurs need about five hundred square kilometers with good forests to survive. He said they also need a large and continuing supply of animals like deer for food. He believes the answer to saving the Amur leopard is for governments to provide protected spaces for wildlife.

The traditional American school year begins in late August or early September.It ends in May or June, followed by summer vacation. 36 Because long ago, young people had to help their families harvest summer crops, At least this is what people today may think.
37 A recent report from an education policy center at Indiana University explored the historical roots of the traditional school calendar.
In the early days of the United States, children were not required to attend school School calendars depended on local needs. 38 They worked on family farms during the other months, City schools were often open much longer, some for eleven months of the year.
After the Civil War, more and more people saw the need for a system of required education. 39 Many city schools wanted a shorter year and a longer summer break, The schools were often crowded. There was no modern air conditioning. Hot days would make it difficult to learn. Many rural educators, however, pushed for a longer school year. They thought it would keep children safe from industrial dangers when there were few child-labor laws.
So the traditional school calendar was a compromise(折中). The average school year used to be one hundred and seventy days. Times have not changed much. 40  But some experts think the traditional school calendar needs to change because the needs of the  nation have changed. This thinking has led some schools to keep students in class longer.
A. Why such a long break?
B.Today the common average is one hundred and eighty days.
C.Americans think highly of their traditional school calendar.
D.Most schools had similar school calendars.
E.But the reason has more to it.
F.Students in rural areas went to school for no more than six months of the year.
G.But they.had different ideas.for the calendar.
