Zoe the zebra's markings are special．The animal has white and golden stripes．Zoe's appearance resulted from a rare condition called amelanosis （黑素缺失症）．Her body doesn't make enough melanin，the substance in an animal's skin and hair cells that produces color．"Only 25other golden zebras are known to exist in the world，"says Ann Goody，who runs the wildlife refuge where Zoe lives．In the wild，life may be difficult for animals with amelanosis because predators （捕猎者） can easily spot them．But Zoe is protected at her refuge．
COCKATOO MAKES TOOLS
Vienna，Austria
When Figaro the cockatoo spots food lying just out of reach from his cage，he builds a tiny wooden tool to sweep the tasty prize in his way．
The bird first revealed his talent when a stone he was playing with rolled out of his cage．The cockatoo couldn't reach the stone．So he flew away and returned with a small branch，slipping it through the fence to slide the stone toward him．
Wondering if he would do it again，scientists placed a nut exactly where the stone had been．This time，Figaro pulled out a small piece of wood in his cage and dragged the nut toward him．

12．As the morning school bell rings and students rush in，teenagers in one classroom settle onto mats and meditation （冥想）pillows．They fall silent after the teacher taps a"singing bowl"．
These students are in a for-credit，year-long mindfulness class，which is meant to ease youth anxiety and depression and to prevent violence．For 90 minutes，three days a week，they practice a mix of yoga，sitting，and walking meditation，deep breathing，journaling，and non-judgmental listening．
Yoga and meditation have gained popularity among Americans in recent decades，supported by studies showing benefits to emotional，mental，and physical health．The centuries-old practices have roots in eastern religions，but Western culture has long focused on physical postures （姿势），breathing，and relaxation techniques．
Some people have greeted the move with less than enthusiasm．Last year，an elementary school in Ohio ended its mindfulness program after parents complained it was too closely linked to religion．But many school districts are reporting success．In Richmond，California，schools have reported drops in school problems among low-income，at-risk youths．The school district in South Burlington，Vermont，introduced a successful mindfulness course as part of a health and wellness program，and now administrators there have advocated mindfulness into K-12 currculums．
Two years ago，Caverly Morgan developed the after-school mindfulness program teamed up with Allyson Copacino，who teaches yoga．After hundreds of students signed up，Principal Brian Chatard took note．The school was dealing with a student，s suicide （自杀），and few resources were available to address students'emotional and mental health．
"High school is the hardest period of time for kids，"Mr．Chatard said．"You've got emotional changes，physical changes，and all the social pressures．It's also the onset of mental illness for some kids，depression hits，and there's the pressure of college and sports．All these things kids do is over?whelming without having a strategy （策略）to deal with it．"And now schools all over the country are introducing the practices．

8．It was a cold winter morning and I was waiting in line to see Jack Canfield，one of the authors of the best selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles．What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be．
During his presentation，Jack pulled out a one-hundred-dollar bill and asked"Who wants this？"Hands shot up in the audience and many people leaned forward to see who Jack would choose．But I ran up to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand．He turned to me and said，"Yes，that's it!Instead of waiting around for opportunities，simply act and create what we want!"
After the talk，I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mails sharing my views and dream．He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragements such as"Keep thinking and playing bigger； it's much more fun that way．"Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mailing Jack．

It all sounded good，but then reality hit．Some nights I cried and wanted to give up．Then I wrote and rewrote．Even though I had great difficulty，I did it anyway．Fortunately，three years later，Waiting for Jack turned out a best-seller on Amazon!

6．Are you fond （61）of tomatoes？Bunol，a town in Spain，held its yearly tomato festival on the last Wednesday of August．Thousands and thousands of people made （62）their （they） way from all corners of the world to fight in it，（63）the world's biggest food fight．Tons of fully-grown tomatoes were thrown in the streets．

On Wednesday，at 11a．m，the fight began．A cannon（大炮） shot was fired to start the fight．At first，people fought one another，but （65）slowly （slow） they began to fight in groups．After exactly one hour，the fight ended when the cannot shot was fired once （66）more（many）．At this point，no more tomatoes could be thrown．
Those who attend this event are encouraged to wear protective （67）glasses （glass）．And they must press the tomatoes before（68）throwing （throw） so that they won't hurt others．Another rule is that no one is allowed （69）to take （take） anything-such as a glass bottle-into the fight．Although it is forbidden to tear（扯破） another person's clothing，the crowd seems to tear the shirt of any clothed person，（70）whether they are men or women．
