初三英语阅读
Snake dishes have become popular in recent(最近的) years．Snake meat is often seen in restaurants．It seems that eating snake is now in fashion,and if you haven't eaten snake yet,you're considered（被认为）“out of date”.But I wonder whether all of the trends（趋势）are worth following．
Some people may defend（辩解）themselves by saying that eating snake is good for their health．But these people don't find out that mice and worms（小虫）are often in snakes' bodies,therefore,there are many parasites（寄生虫）found inside snakes．They may be bad for our health．
Apart from this,we're sorry to see that more snakes are being killed by a butcher's (屠夫) knife．
According to the English newspaper,“Shanghai Star”,about 1000 tons of snake are eaten every year in China．In Shenzhen of Guangdong Province,sometimes as many as 10 tons of snake are served on dinner tables in a single day．
If we still turn a blind eye to this,a vicious circle（恶性循环）will be created(被引起)：if more snakes are eaten by people,the number of snakes will drop,but the number of mice will increase(增加),which will result in a decrease of crop output.This will make more people hungry．Who wants to see such a tragedy happen?
Therefore,let's not to eat snake any more．To protect the snake is to protect ourselves．
