      At a day care center in Texas, children were playing outside. One of the children was Jessica McClure.
She was only 18months old. Her mother, worked at the day care center, was watching the children. Suddenly
Jessica fell and disappeared. Jessica's mother screamed and ran to her.
      A well was in the yard of the center. The well was only eight inches across and a rock always covered it.
But children had moved the rock. When Jessica fell, she fell right into the well.
      Jessica's mother reached inside the well, but she couldn't feel Jessica. She ran to a phone and dialed 911
for help. Men from the fire department arrived. They discovered that Jessica was about 20 feet down in the
well. For the next hour the men talked and planned Jessica's rescue.
      "We can't go down into the well," they said. "It is too narrow. So, we're going to drill a tunnel across to
Jessica. When we reach her, we'll bring her through the tunnel and up through our hole."
      The men began to drill the hole at 11a.m. on Wednesday, October 14, 1987. The men had a difficult job;
they were drilling through solid rock. During her days in the well, Jessica sometimes called her mother,
sometimes she slept, sometimes she cried and sometimes she sang.
      All over the world, people waited for news of Jessica. Everyone worried about her.
      At 8 p.m. on Friday, October 16, men reached Jessica and brought her up from the well. Then paramedics
rushed her to the hospital. Jessica was dirty, hungry, thirsty and tired. Her feet and forehead were badly injured. But she was alive.
      After Jessica's rescue, one of the rescuers made a metal cover for the well which wrote,"To Jessica, with
love from all of us."

Tragedy at the Circus

　　In yesterday's circus(马戏团)show, a tiger suddenly attacked its trainer and had to be shot dead．As the circus packed up and left, circus officials said the show would go on, even without tigers．However, the officials can't simply turn a blind eye to the ethical(道德的) problems left behind．Even before this tragedy, animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions and forcing them to suffer for the profit(利润)of circus organizers．

　　It is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly．

Circus Safe for Animals

　　Our circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history．While we are thankful for the pity from the public, we are also astonished by the opinion expressed in“Tragedy at the Circus．”

　　First, our performing animals are not taken from the wild．As to the ethical problems, we always believe humans and animals can-and should-live together nicely．To us, the performing animals are representatives of their species, and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of performing animals in the existence of the species．Those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals show little knowledge of these facts．Life in the“wild”is unsafe, but a continuous struggle for existence．To overlook these realities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom．

　　This circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine．Within the circus is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans：people are educated, and species saved．
