zoos even have “friendship farms” where people can touch some of the animals. Here are four reasons why people need zoos.Firstly, zoos educate people about animals and their natural environment. They give interesting information about each animal, such as where it es from and how it lives. Special teachers at the zoo help children understand more about the animals. Trained guides show visitors around the zoo.Secondly, zoos are working hard to find out more about animals. New knowledge leads to improved ways of looking after animals in the zoo, and better understanding of the same animals in the wild.Thirdly, zoos play a part in protecting animals and stopping them from disappearing. Zoos work together with each other to help the animals in danger. For example, gorillas (大猩猩) from Taronga Zoo were sent to live with gorillas at the Melbourne Zoo in the hope that they would give birth to babies.Finally, zoos are important for people39。 the fewer B.

People enjoy getting close to animals without having to cross the plains (平原) of Africa or climb the mountains of China. In the past, animal shows were mon in zoos. Visitors were excited by monkeys in human clothes, and they even took rides on elephants or horses. However, today people prefer to see animals behaving naturally.So a modern zoo is a place where animals are well cared for.( )61.

Suddenly I realized Janie wasn39。s not right to judge the people around us by their clothes (3) There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, “If I could only see the world, I would marry you.” One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages(繃帶) came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her, “Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?” The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her, saying: Take good care of my eyes, dear, I’ll always love you. This is how the human brain often works when our situation changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situation. Life is a gift. Today before you say an unkind word think of someone who can’t speak. Before you plain about the taste of your food think of someone who has nothing to eat. Today before you plain about life think of someone who went too early to heaven. Before whining about the distance you drive think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet. And when you are tired and plain about your job think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job. And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down put a smile on your face and think: you are alive and still around.( )68. Who donated the pair of eyes to the girl? A. Someone who they didn’t know.
