听力原文: In Chile, the military government held a rally today in support of President Augusto Pinochet, who escaped an assassination attempt two days ago. A crackdown on opponents of his government continued in response to that attack. A journalist for an opposition magazine was found dead. His family and colleagues charge he had been kidnapped yesterday by police. Tim Fosca reports now from Santiago.
Several thousand people gathered in front of La Moneda, the presidential palace, for a rally in support of General Augusto Pinochet this afternoon. Heavily armed soldiers were stationed along major downtown streets for the demonstration, which is celebrating the thirteenth anniversary this week of the military take- over. Hundreds of members of women's charity groups passed in review before General Pinochet and his wife Lucia. The head of state appeared physically unaffected by his close call Sunday when he narrowly escaped assassination. Hours before the rally, Jose Carrasco, a thirty-eight-year-old editor at the opposition magazine Analisis was found dead in a Santiago cemetery. He had been shot ten times. Carrasco's wife said he was roused from bed early Monday morning by men claiming to be police. But authorities officially denied his ar-rest. Carrasco, a member of MIR, the revolutionary left movement, had been back in Chile only two years after eight years in exile. The bodies of at least two more murdered victims were also found today, but their identities have not yet been established. Arrests continued in the second day of the state of siege. More leftist political figures were rounded up, bringing the total number of detentions to twenty. The government has issued arrest orders for a number of others, some of whom are in hiding. On the list is at least one member of the Chilean Human Rights Commission. A spokesman said the homes of Commission members in the provincial city of San Fernando were also raided, but no members were at home. All opposition magazines were ordered closed yesterday, including the Christian democratic weekly, Hoy. Under the last state of siege in 1984 and 85, Hoy was allowed to continue publishing. The situation of five foreign priests and one local lay worker detained yesterday remains unresolved.

The science of wildlife management is actually quite new. It is the third major phase of the original conservation movement. The first phase involved the preservation of wildlife through laws and hunting regulations. This phase was a reaction against the terrible destruction of many wild creatures. The second phase involved the control of certain birds and animals that were preying on other wildlife and causing their decline.
However, the first two phases of the conservation movement had serious limitations. The new laws allowed certain animals to increase so much that they actually "ate up" their habitat. Many of them starved to death because the land simply could not provide for them all. Something had to be done. This is how careful wildlife management came into being.
One of the chief concerns of wildlife management is the protection and improvement of the natural habitat so that animals have enough food and water to survive. Wildlife management involves care of the soil to produce good vegetation. It involves care of plants and bushes, not only as a source of food, but also as protection. Animals needs cover to hide from their natural enemies and to raise their young safely.
Just as crops are harvested, wildlife too must sometimes be "harvested". By allowing limited hunting and fishing, good management can control certain species that threaten to overpopulate their habitat.
Another major part of the wildlife management is the increasing of certain species by artificial means. Some creatures, like the whooping crane, were brought back from the edge of extinction in this way. In order to save these species, members of wildlife teams have reared the young in the safety of research stations.
The passage is mainly about______.

A. the history of the wildlife conservation movement
B. the preservation of wildlife through laws
C. wildlife management as a new approach
D. protection and improvement of the habitat of animals
