Zhi Nong was born in a small town in Yunnan Province. When he was young, he moved to Kunming with his mother. Feeling like a caged (笼中的) bird in the big city, he was bored with the busy and noisy city life and looked forward to nature.

His chance soon came. In 1983, he helped shoot a documentary about birds. That experience led him to learn photography and take photos of flying birds.

In the 1980s, the Internet was not that popular in China and cameras were expensive. He managed to borrow a camera and threw himself into studying how to use it. During that time, the library became his favorite place where he first read some magazines about nature. It opened a door for him to connect with nature.

In 1992, a research program was organized to protect a type of unusual monkeys which only live in China. Usually the home of these monkeys has half-a-year-long winters. It created great challenges for Zhi Nong’s work, but he never drew back. “I didn’t see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains the third time,” said Zhi Nong. He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photographs of the monkeys.

Three years later, his works won international prizes. People around the world began to pay attention to the protection of wild animals in China. And he is the first Chinese winner of the world Wildlife Photographer of the Year.

In order to call up (召集) tons of people to protect wildlife with cameras, he started “China Wildlife Photography Training Camp”. He hopes that more young people will join in for the nature protection.

Teenage life — better now，or in the past?

Does this situation sound familiar (熟悉)？

You are complaining (抱怨)to your parents about something. Maybe your computer isn't powerful enough to play the latest games.     16    Then you hear...

When I was your age, there weren’t any computers or video games. And I didn’t get a bike until I was sixteen. And it was second-hand.     17     ”

So, is it really true that life is better for teenagers now? It is certainly true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays.    18     So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children.

    19    Forty years ago, no one could imagine a world with tiny computers and amazing smartphones. And now these things are necessary — we can’t imagine living without them!

However, technology often means we spend more time at home. And often it's just as, with our computer or television. Teenagers don’t do enough exercise.     20    And, although young people still get on well with their friends，some people think teenagers today don’t have so many social activities as they did in the past.

What do you think? How is teenage life better these days?

A．And it was too big for me.

B．A typical family is smaller now.

C．Or your friends’ bikes are better than yours!

D．So they aren’t as healthy as they were in the past.

E．Technology is probably the greatest change in our life.
