Years have passed， but I still remember how it felt to struggle so hard at（10） another language． That trip was a difficult but valuable lesson． I think my failure that term taught me just as much as my success．

One of the world's most important and lovely animals is quickly disappearing，Can you guess which one it is？It（49） （have） the longest neck among all animals．Yes，it's the giraffe．
In 1985，there were between 152，000and 163，000giraffe，and they（50） （live） in the plains （平原） and forests of Africa．"The number of giraffes（51） （fall） by as much as 40percent since the 1980s，"says a new report on endangered wild animals and plants．
