When Sandy was a little girl, she liked keeping pets. She had many books about animals and many pictures of animals on the walls of her bedroom. She often said that she would work in a  41  when she grew up.
Most of Sandy’s pets were quiet small—parrots, cats, dogs and so on. But one day she met something quite  42 .
That afternoon, Sandy’s mother was surprised to see a big animal with long hair in the kitchen. He  43  a T-shirt and was sitting on the chair, trying to put on a pair of glasses and making faces at her. In front of him, on the table, were a basket of fruits and a glass of water. “Sandy, where are you?” the mother shouted. Then suddenly she remembered that a few days before a young gorilla (大猩猩) called Jim had run away from the zoo.
“I found him in the city square,” Sandy said. “He seemed so  44 . I talked to him. We became friends at once and he followed me home.”
“Well, you know you  45  keep him,” her mother said. “You must send him back to the zoo. You’d better phone the police.”
Soon a  46  came and also a truck from the zoo.  47  was angry with Sandy when she told her story. The policeman knew Sandy loved animals. And the zookeeper said, “Thank you for your kindness. I can see Jim likes you,  48  we need to take him back.” Sandy agreed. She hugged Jim and said that she would go and see him  49 .
These days Sandy has stopped collecting  50 , but you can still find her with her friend Jim at the zoo on Saturdays and Sundays.

Most children don’t enjoy doing housework. They like playing computer games rather than cleaning the rooms. But in Australia, Jim and Robert’s mother, Mrs Black, has good and proper methods to get their children to do housework.
Here is an example.
“Mum, have you worked out next week’s housework? Let Jim and me choose the cards I can’t wait. It’s fun!”
When Robert shouted out, his mother had already put all the cards on their big table. On the cards, there are some words like these, “sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help mum cook, wash vegetables, make beds, feed the fish, cut the wood, clean the bathroom” and many others, Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the week day task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom, so he picked up the card “clean the bathroom”. Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up “wash vegetables” and Robert chose “feed the fish”. Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards
To help the children do housework, their mother thought hard and came up with this idea. Of    course, the parents did the housework on the weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free.
