Bali was divided into seven small kingdoms. The land around each kingdom was kept empty, and no one lived there. Since the kingdoms did not share the same borders, the people could not fight over them.

In Bali, even children were not allowed to fight. If two children started a fight over a toy, someone would separate them. When two boys argued, they would agree not to speak to each other. Sometimes they did not talk together for months. This gave the boys a chance to for get their anger.

I’ve reported about tigers on the news, however, nothing could have prepared me for what I found in India. I didn’t know what to expect, so when I saw my first tiger in the wild, I was shocked. What a beautiful and powerful creature it is!

But they live with a price on their heads — a single tiger skin is worth up to ￡8,000, and their bones possibly more. Another problem is that farmers need to clear a large number of areas of the forest for their cattle. This means deer are losing their living places. As a result, tigers are losing their natural prey, so they end up eating the cattle.

Tigers are not easy to live close to. I met a farmer who had been mauled by one. But despite (尽管) that, he told me everything had its place in the world and he had no right to kill the tiger. He was really kind.

Those who work for the Tigers Forever Project realize that to ensure their survival, tigers don’t only need space. They need space away from people.

They are working to stop the conflict (冲突) between tigers and people by separating them. I visited a new town. People had been moved to it from a settlement in the forest. And it really has worked. It has given tigers a better life and better opportunities for the children of the resettled people.

Only 2,500 tigers are now left in the wild in India. Three out of eight tiger sub-species have already disappeared. Tigers that once lived across Asia only survive in 7% of their original living places now.

45. What does the underlined word “mauled” mean?

A. Hunted. B. Injured. C. Frightened. D. Killed.

46. The following statements are all the factors reducing the population of tigers EXCEPT that .

A. making money drives some people to hunt tigers

B. tigers’ food chain is being destroyed

C. the living places of tigers are disappearing

D. people live far from where tigers live

47. We can infer from the last paragraph that .

A. there are only 2,500 tigers in the wild in India

B. tigers need space far from people

C. if we don’t protect tigers in Asia, they will die out there

D. children are happy to live far from tigers

48. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Expensive tigers.

B. More space for tigers.

C. Tigers and cattle.

D. A kind-hearted farmer.
