A
Dear humans,
It's the first time that I have written to you, my children.
I used to send you many messages. But you always overlooked them. So I wanted to write you a letter.
In the very beginning, let me tell you more about our family. Dear humans, besides you, I have many other children. Some swim in water, and some live in ice-covered places. Some are as small as your fingernails, such as bugs, and some are as big as cars. They might be very close to you, or even live in your house. But there are others that you may never meet.

You bring them home to be your pets, friends and helpers. You put them in zoos. You kill them for their meat and fur. And you even kill them for fun. They bring you money and happiness, but they also bring illness and death.
I hope you can remember that wild animals are not your food or clothes. They are not killers either.
Humans, you are clever and hard-working. You have colourful cultures and advanced technologies. You can decide where you go.
But you don't respect me. You change my weather; my lands, my rivers... you ask for so much of me, more than what I can give you. I'm worried that one day you will be lonely.
So, humans, grow up to be more responsible.
Yours,
Mother Earth

这是一道英语阅读理解题，主要考查学生对文章内容的理解和分析能力。题目包括两个问题，第一个问题是询问地球母亲给人类写信的原因，这需要从文章中提取关键信息来回答；第二个问题是询问如果想要变得更有责任感，我们在日常生活中应该怎么做，这需要结合文章内容和自己的生活实际来回答。
