Read the following passage carefully and complete the sentences with the best answer.
Hoan Kiem Turtle to take its status to the grave
As local and international experts scratch their heads on ways to save an extremely rare and injured giant
softshell turtle in Hanoi’s HoanKiem Lake, it looks set to take its unique cultural and legendary status to its grave
sometime over the next decade.
The Emergency Committee for the Saving of the Hoan Kiem Lake Turtle decided yesterday to treat the
injured turtle at Thap Rua (Turtle Tower) in the middle of the lake.
This will be the first attempt to approach the softshelled turtle, which has been lacerated by fish hooks and forced
to survive in highly polluted water while suffering attacks from aggressive redear turtles that have been released
by local people who grew tired of keeping the animals as pets.
One agreement that has been reached among the scientists is that the environment in the 12 hectare lake
needs improving.
“I don’t think there is any one single solution. I think improving the habitat or improving the quality of the
environment in the lake is one of the first things that should be done,” said Timothy McCormack, a coordinator with
the Cleveland Metropark Zoo’s Asian Turtle Program.
“During the dry season, I think the water level is very low. The pollution makes it seem a lot worse. So you
can add more water into the lake to increase the water level and reduce the pollution.” he told Thanh Nien Weekly
on the phone.
It is generally accepted that the turtle belongs to an extremely rare species. Only four of its kind are left in
the world. One resides in Dong Mo lake outside Ha Noi and the other captive pair are in China.
The rare softshell turtle in Hoan Kiem Lake has played a hugely important role in Vietnamese lore for more
than 2,000 years. The Hoan Kiem Lake turtles are traditionally viewed as manifestations of the Golden Turtle God,
or Kim Qui. Legend has it over the last two millennia that they have helped design fortifications, thwart enemy
armies and produced a number of enchanted weapons.
Photos of the turtle over the past months showed multiple injuries on its neck and carapace, which pushed
Hanoi authorities and scientists to rush for solutions to save the animal.
At a workshop on the issue in Hanoi on Tuesday (February 15), scientists continued to differ over the healing
methods removing the turtle from the lake to treat its injuries or remaining content with improving pollution in the
lake.
Recently,all the Vietnamese people are looking forward to the successful saving of the Turtle.
