Wild animals are our friends, but many of them are getting fewer and fewer. We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.
Tibetan Antelopes
Tibetan antelopes(藏羚羊)mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75, 000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world.
Golden Monkeys
Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, and Shaanxi provinces. Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur(皮毛). They move around in the daytime. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But people are destroying the environment where they live. Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.
Elephants
Elephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animals on land. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunk(象鼻). Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks.
Wolves
Wolves are not very big. They have grey fur. Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell. They eat animals, insects and snails. They are friendly to each other and never attack(攻击)people. Wolves are in danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.

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.

Asking people to a party is an art. You must think about what kind of party you’re going to have first. If it is a small party, you can just give a call to your friends and ask them to the party. You can even e-mail them or just leave a message for them.
Now, calling someone is an art too. First, give a call to your friend, and then begin the talk by asking them about their life and family. Ask them about their schedules on the day of the party. If they say they are free, you can ask them to the party directly (直接地). If the friend is not free, then ask him to try to find time for your party.
If you’re going to have a big party and need to ask lots of people to your party, you must decide how many people you want at your party. Then you can write a list of them and send them beautiful invitation cards, because you may not have so much time to give them a call each. You must send the cards a few days before the party so that they can have enough time to prepare for it.

【推荐2】If you drive in New Zealand, it is necessary for you to take a little time to learn the road rules — for your own and others’ safety. There are a few things that you might find different from driving in China. Here’s some information to help make your driving experience in New Zealand a safe one.
Keep left
In New Zealand, traffic travels on the left-hand side of the road and the driver sits on the right of the car. When you are turning, you should be careful with the left side. Remember to keep your eyes on the road ahead.
Crossing “Give Way” rule
If you’re turning, give way to all cars that are not turning. In all other situations, give way to the cars crossing or coming from your right.
Animals on the road
Watch out for farm animals on the road, especially in the countryside. When you see them, please slow down. You may need to stop and let the animals go past you or move slowly up behind and follow the farmer’s instructions.
Seat belts
It is a law that all the drivers must wear their seat belts. If you are caught not wearing your seat belt, you will be fined(罚款).

【推荐3】Something that influences (影响) us when we’re awake can also make a difference to our dreams.
Health Conditions
One of the biggest influences is how much or how little you’re sleeping. Not having enough sleep can make your brain more active. You’re likely to have more vivid dreams if you’ve had some restless nights. You’re also more likely to recall (回想起) those dreams.
Being pregnant (怀孕) also causes vivid dreams. Increased hormone production (雌激素增长) will also lead to some vivid dreams.
Foods
It’s clear that some foods may help to remember your dreams better.
High-carb foods can give you quick energy. But after a while, they can bring you down. So, if eating too much sugar, you will stay lazy during the day, those feelings could carry over you’re your sleep.
Activities every day
You may have more vivid dreams if you can’t sleep well. And a good sleep will cut down on the intense dreams you’ll recall.
A small study found that a good run or other physical activities in the morning may help set your clock. And will help you fall asleep faster and spend more time in deep sleep than if you didn’t exercise or if you exercised late at night.
