阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。
The beaver (海狸) is a kind of wild animal. It lives in ponds, lakes and streams. Living in water keeps it safe as it can swim away quickly when an enemy approaches (接近). The beaver is a powerful swimmer and it can stay under water for a few minutes.
Besides water, the beaver also depends on trees for survival. It feeds on the bark of trees such as maple and birch (白桦树). In addition, it uses trees to build its home, known as a lodge (巢穴). The beaver has long, sharp teeth which it uses to cut down the trees. It takes about a week for a beaver to build a lodge. The beaver's lodge is strong and some can last for more than twenty years.
In autumn, the beaver will prepare itself for winter by storing small pieces of wood near its lodge. It stays in its lodge throughout the cold season.
41. What will happen when a beaver is in danger?
42. What does a beaver eat?
43. What do you think of a beaver's lodge?

答案：41. It can swim away quickly.
42. It feeds on the bark of trees such as maple and birch.
43. It is strong and some can last for more than twenty years.
44. I like dogs best. They are loyal and friendly, always greeting me warmly. They can protect homes and bring happiness, making them perfect companions in daily life.
解析：41-43题直接从原文找答案：41. “swim away quickly when an enemy approaches”；42. “feeds on the bark of trees such as maple and birch”；43. “strong and some can last for more than twenty years”。44题需写喜欢的动物及原因，示例以狗为例，符合字数要求。

A few restaurants still have some wild animals as delicious food on the table.

As a wildlife lover, I will never eat wild animals and will advise my family and friends to do the same. I can also join animal protection activities and donate to wildlife organizations.
To teach people to live with wild animals, I can share knowledge about wildlife on social media, make posters to show the importance of protection, and tell stories about how animals help the ecosystem. Let's work together to protect wildlife!
