It’s summer, so it’s a great time to be outdoors. One way of enjoying the fresh air is to attend a music festival. There you can enjoy seeing your favorite musicians perform.     31     There are other activities to enjoy. And of course, it’s a chance to spend time with your friends.

    32    —even in ancient times, people would come together, have dinners and celebrate and sometimes together with playing or listening to music. So, music festivals are nothing new. But they have changed gradually. In recent times, one of the most famous music festivals was Woodstock festival in the USA in 1969.     33     It promised three days of peace and music. It attracted a large crowd of people. And in 1970, the Glastonbury festival began on a farm in the UK. It now spreads a lot larger. It has become a highlight in a festival goers music calendar. It attracts large crowds who camp out for the weekend. We all know that the weather in the UK is changeable.     34    

Other festivals have also become huge. They include the Danube Island Festival in Austria and Coachella in the USA—a music and arts festival with every style of music. There seems to be a festival for everyone around the world.     35     According to a research in 2018, the music festival industry was worth $ 4 billion (十亿) all over the world, and it has continued to grow. Ticket prices are higher and higher. However, for many young people, attending a festival has become a shared experience that can’t be missed.

Are you feeling hungry? Maybe it’s a while until your next meal, so perhaps now you’re thinking about reaching for a brightly colored packet with something delicious inside. Maybe it’s time for a snack. You’re not alone, we all do it-but do you know how much work we need to develop to make the snacks that we all know and love?

Companies have to work out what people like. Traditionally, they might just have asked people about their snack habits. In today’s digital age, apps can ask customers to choose the tastes they like. Companies can also search the internet for every restaurant menu in a specific market, looking out for the latest taste trends (趋势).

Snack trends also change over time. When British supermarkets were encouraged to take away unhealthy snacks from the shelves, companies were quick to provide healthier snacks. They can also reflect different histories of people from different countries. One British company found that snacks with South Asian tastes sold well in the UK, but not so well in the US, and in the US, there is less traditional Indian food.

Of course, a perfect idea might not be that useful in real life. Ingredients (原料) that work well in a restaurant, might not work well on a biscuit. Snacks with fresh ingredients may have too short a shelf life (保质期) to be good products. Some companies need to spend much money keeping the snacks fresh, and that stops them from making money.

There are many reasons influencing our snacks. Some may reflect our tastes successfully, but can be influenced by their process.

Summer is right around the corner. In the city of Blackpool on the English coast, that means good times at the zoo. They have a lot of different animals.

There’s lots to see, lots to do, lots of fun for the family including snacks—burgers, barbecue, even noodles. And all those become one animal’s delicious food—one that’s not part of the Blackpool Zoo—Seagull (海鸥).

Seagulls are large birds. When they see food, they want it, and they don’t care who has that food, where that food comes from or who is going to eat it. They are just flying down to steal people’s food. And it’s not just humans who have to watch out for them. They can notice the zookeeper, so they know where the food is going to be. Sometimes they can even take food from the penguins.

The staff at the Blackpool Zoo has tried and failed many times to keep the seagulls away, they even fly kites to keep them away. But nothing seems to work. Then they hit upon the idea of having a living scarecrow (稻草人)—you know what I’m saying—they dressed a worker in an eagle (鹰) costume to scare away the seagulls. It actually seems to work. And it’s great fun for the visitors to enjoy.

Now the zoo plans to have five people do the work. It’ll pay each of them10. 8 pounds an hour. That’s just about 13. 3 U. S. dollars. What a great job to be outside in a zoo with some amazing animals! There are already 200 people asking for the job, many of them are from outside the U. K. The zoo has had vegetable costumes, fruit costumes, different kinds of animal costumes for people who are willing to dress up and play the part.

So if you’ve ever dreamed of flying like an eagle or running around in an eagle suit with your wings, now’s the time to take flight. The Blackpool Zoo is still welcoming you.
