On vacations my parents often take me to the zoo in our city because I like animals. I have a lot of toy animals in my room. In the zoo I can see tigers, elephants, monkeys, pandas, bears, dolphins, giraffes and many other animals. Some animals are very friendly, but some are not. Tigers, bears and some snakes are very dangerous. That is why they have to stay in cages. But I don’t think it’s good for animals to stay in cages. They should be free. The animals in cages can’t be happy.
Tigers usually live in forests and mountains. They should go back to nature (自然). They can run very fast. They catch and eat small animals like rabbits and deer, but now they live in small rooms. They have nothing to do every day. So they walk in the cages, and they want to get out. When they are tired, they sleep. I feel sorry for them.
I think the most interesting animal in the zoo is dolphin. I like watching them swim and jump. They swim fast and they jump very high. They can play with a ball. They can stand up and “walk” on water! They are very friendly to people. If you fall into the water and you can’t swim, they may come up to help you. However, they can only stay in a small pool. They should go back to the sea.

【推荐1】Squirrels（松鼠）are getting ready for winter. They are looking for nuts and seeds, digging holes in the ground or finding holes in trees. That’s where they store the food they will need during the coming months, when the weather is cold and sometimes snowy. Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees, which are like restaurants for them. Among their favorite things to eat are nuts and other parts of trees, like tender buds（花苞）. Squirrels may also eat corn, insects and other animals. And, as anyone who has a bird knows, squirrels love bird food! Squirrels stay active all winter, so they need plenty of food to help keep up their energy. Squirrels tend to bury food underground, piece by piece. Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground. When they need the food, squirrels use their memories and sense of smell to help them find what they buried. Sometimes, you’ll even see them digging through the snow. Squirrels make nests in trees. Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels（地道）, where it is warmer. When spring comes, squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth, like buds and leaves. Sometimes they forget to dig up all their buried nuts. That’s why you’ll sometimes find a little tree growing in a place where neither you nor your family planted it. It must have been the squirrels’.

【推荐1】How often do you let other people's rude actions change your mood? Do you let a bad driver or an impolite waiter make your day a mess? However, the mark of your wise reply to the actions is how quickly you can come back to smiling at them. Sixteen years ago, I learned this lesson in the back of a taxi in New York.
We were driving fast in the right lane when suddenly, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stepped on the brakes as hard as possible, and at the next moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.
I couldn't believe what happened next. The driver of the car turned his head around and started shouting bad words. But then here's what really surprised me. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I said, "Why did you just do that? This guy nearly killed us!" He told me what I now remember "The law of the garbage Truck".
He said, "Like garbage trucks, many people run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of regret. As their garbage increases more and more, they look for a place to pour it. If you let them, they'll pour it on you. So when someone wants to pour it on you, don't feel hurt. Just smile, wave, and move on. You will be happier."
I started thinking: how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people? Then I knew clearly what I should do.
I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the bad mood people are carrying. I see them coming to pour it. And like my taxi driver, I don't feel hurt. I just smile, wave, and move on.

【推荐2】Green Bank is a small town in the US. People there live a special life.
Green Bank is home to a large radio telescope（射电望远镜）. It is used to study space.Radio waves （无线电波） from the ground can influence the work of the telescope. For this reason, people there can’t use smart phones or Wi-Fi. They can only use a pay phone when they need to make phone calls.
There are about 180 people living in Green Bank. Many of them don’t find life difficult. A boy says he likes going to his friends’ houses to talk to them. When friends are not at home, they can quickly find each other somewhere in this small town. A woman says she is happy to talk to people face to face. This gives her the chance to shake their hands or give them a hug. She really enjoys living without smart phones and Wi-Fi.
No Wi-Fi doesn’t mean Green Bank is not a good place to visit. Feeling the beauty of face-to-face human connection in the town is special. There’re also some places to enjoy.
For those who are interested in science, the Green Bank Observatory is a must-see. But don’t forget to bring a map, because GPS doesn’t work in the area. Don’t worry about food. The observatory has a mini coffee house.
