Animals don't understand your love! Let's step backwards and we can find many events like this. In 2012, a four-year-old boy got bitten(咬) on the right middle finger by a monkey when he tried to feed it in a zoo of Shanghai. In 2013, a seven-year-old boy from Fuyang, Anhui, put his hand into the bear cage and got bitten on the left hand. In2015, a two-year-old boy got seriously bitten by a tiger in the animal park of Bifengxia in Ya'an, Sichuan Province. . .
It doesn't happen every day, but when it happens, it usually hurts seriously. In January, 2016, a young woman from China got bitten on her nose when she kissed a snake in a zoo in Thailand. Certainly she was hurt badly. So we'd like to ask our tourists not to kiss snakes, or get close to dangerous animals because these animals don't understand your love for them.
This also reminds our zoo keepers to pay more attention to the safety of tourists during the animal performances. Tourists should keep their hands away from the animals themselves and never make fun of them. Always remember that they may attack (袭击) you and your children. You might think getting close to them is a friendly and natural way of showing your love for nature. However, to respect(尊重) the animals, keep your distance(距离) and stay away from them are the best ways to get well with them.
Mom was cooking in the kitchen. She could hear the girls arguing in the living room. It was the third time this week that the sisters had been arguing over nothing. A few minutes later, Maria rushed into her bedroom angrily and closed the door heavily.
"Come to the kitchen, young lady, "Mom firmly(坚定地)said to Maria in her best mother tone of voice.
Maria walked into the kitchen and shouted, "I can't stand living with Felicia another minute. I don't ever want to talk to her again!"
Mom called out, "Felicia, come to the kitchen right now."
While Felicia was on her way, Mom put two chairs opposite each other but very close together.
"Maria, you sit here and Felicia, you sit there. "The girls sat face to face, with their knees(膝盖)almost touching. "Now you look each other in the eye for five minutes, "Mom ordered.
At first the girls moved their bodies from side to side. Mom said firmly, "You must stay staring at each other for five minutes. Each minute you don't make eye contact (眼神交流)means another minute sitting in the chairs. "They both wanted out, so they had to sit there and look at each other.
Felicia looked at Maria's pouty(撅起)lips while Maria looked at Felicia's angry face. They each thought the other one looked funny. In fact, they were being ridiculous to fight and be angry at each other over nothing.
Soon Maria couldn't stand it any longer and began laughing and so did Felicia.
Mom wisely didn't say anything except, "Okay girls, you can go now."

Kathy could still remember the night she had to leave her home in Hungary. It was the beginning of World WarⅡ(二战) and her family had to leave their country as soon as possible. She quickly filled a bag with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her treasure-a beautiful silk scarf.
Kathy and her best friend, Monica, had asked their parents to buy them matching(相配的)scarves. They each would wear the scarves as a symbol of their friendship. Kathy had no idea that she was going to America that night and would not be returning.
Kathy kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Kathy was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, "Don't worry, Grandma, Nothing's going to happen to your scarf. You'll see. It is going to bring both of us luck today. "And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
That afternoon Eliza left the interview, feeling sure that she would get the job. So she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. As she was sitting at her table, she felt someone looking at her. Sitting next to her was an old woman, who could not take her eyes away from her.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Eliza asked.
"I'm sorry, dear, but you remind me of someone I once knew, "the old woman replied. "My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you're wearing around your neck. "Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this be Monica, her grandmother's childhood friend?
Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman.
"My name's Monica, dear. I lived in Hungary as a child, but my family had to leave when I was fourteen years old. I've been living here in California ever since, "said the old woman.
Eliza could not believe her ears ...
a. Eliza wore the scarf to her interview.
b. Monica met Eliza in the restaurant.
c. Kathy asked her parents to buy the scarf.
d. Eliza felt surprised.
Do you know all birds protect themselves by always listening and watching out for danger? At the smallest sign of it, they will fly away. Birds that cannot fly are often able to swim fast, or run quickly.
Some birds make themselves look bigger and more dangerous by fluffing(动) their feathers. Another important protection for many birds is their colors. Their feathers often have colors that match the things around their nests(巢). Some birds change colors with the seasons. In the winter they are white to match the snow. In the summer they are brown to match the ground.
People sometimes kill birds without meaning to. When people cut down forests to build houses and factories, they destroy the homes and food of birds. If the birds have nowhere else to go and nothing to eat, they will die out. Pollution may cause some birds to die. Birds that catch fish from polluted water get poison in their bodies. Then they cannot lay healthy eggs. New birds can't be born.
Now people protect birds by passing the laws to control hunting and pollution, by setting up some special parks where all the birds are safe from hunters, and by teaching people to care about birds rather than kill them.
