　　Modern zoos are very different from zoos built fifty years ago. At that time, zoos were places where people could go to see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages (笼) with iron bars (栅), cages that were easy to keep clean. However, for the animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. Although the zoo keepers took good care of them. Many of the animals did not feel comfortable and they often became ill.

　　In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural conditions. The animals are given more freedom in large places so that they can live more as they would in nature. Even the appearance(外貌) of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in the cages, and water flows through the places that the animas live in. There are few bars, instead, there is often a deep ditch(沟), filled with water, which surrounds a space where several sorts of animals live together as they would naturally. In an American zoo, the visitor can walk through a huge special cage that is filled with trees, some small animals and many birds, and large enough for the birds to live naturally. In a zoo in New York, because of special night light, people can observe certain animals that are active only at night, when most zoos are closed. Some zoos have special places for visitors to watch animals that live in the desert, or under water. Some other zoos have special places for animals that live in cold conditions like the bear from the Arctic.

　　Modern zoos not only show animals for visitors, but also keep and save rare (稀有的) animals. For this reason, fifty years from now, the grandchildren of today's visitors will still be able to enjoy watching these animals.

　　Methods of training animals have changed greatly in recent years．Zoo keepers have always had problems getting the animals to leave their cages in order for the cages to be cleaned, and also training them to move indoors when appropriate．Another problem was that many of the large animals became listless and bored．In the last twenty years, scientists have done research on dolphins and whales, training them to obey commands．The scientists found they could get animals to obey by rewarding them with food and affection when they responded correctly．

　　Proper training allows the animals to receive the care they need．It was very difficult to get untrained animals, especially the larger ones, to stay still when they needed medical attention．Now they can be trained, on command, to remain still and even to allow blood samples to be taken and shots administered．All this is accomplished through positive reinforcement, without the use of any force．Affection training, as this process is called, has been used with great success on a wide variety of zoo animals．Animal behavior experts have taught zoo keepers to train bears, tigers, monkeys, and many other species to behave in a way that provides for better animal-keeper interaction．This training also keeps the animals from becoming bored and inactive．

　　Although some people proclaim(谴责)that this training is inhumane and cruel to animals, results have shown that captive(猎获的)animals who previously were not doing well flourish under the new training procedures．
