初二上学期英语完形填空和阅读理解

Dear editor (编辑) ，

I live in a beautiful city . Many visitors come to my city . there are so many colorful peacocks (孔雀) here . The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square

They are given food freely by visitors . They usually throw food to them , and don’t think about at all whether the food is right or not . Some of the peacocks became ill , some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors. I’m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds , but don’t realize (意识到) that they may be doing them harm (伤害). The visitors should be told that what have done is very harmful to the birds , and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening . Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food . For us every person , it’s our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.

Yours,

Sun Yan
