6．Special Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road
--Reported by Sheila Carrick
Why did the chicken cross the road？To get to the other side．
Most people know this joke．But recently，some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road．
"Millions of animals die each year on U．S．roads，"the Federal Highway Administration reports．In fact，only about 80ocelots，an endangered wild cat，exist in the U．S．today．The main reason？Road kill．
"Ecopassages"may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars．They are paths both over and under roads．"These ecopassages can be extremely useful，so that wildlife can avoid road accidents，"said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society．
But do animals actually use the ecopassages？The answer is yes．Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway．This showed that the lions used the passage．
Builders of ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them．Aniamals seem to be catching on．Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses．
The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife，look around．You might see an animal overpass!

Most of the time，people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh  weather conditions．Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position．But nowadays，hats，especially women's hats，are much more than that．More exactly，hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars．What's more，people now consider many different features （特点） when choosing even a simple hat．Many designers point out that，when choosing the right hat，it's important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair，your height，and the shape of your face．
First of all，the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair．For instance，black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned．If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair，one will look as attractive as a summer flower．Second，the height of the hat is also an important point．Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns，just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height．Third，and most importantly，the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick．A small，gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face．However，women with big，round faces should choose a different style．
As the saying goes，"Fine feathers make fine birds．"A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features，so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public？

Dear Mr．President，
I am writing to express my concern about the sports facilities in campus．Ihave noticed that our school has very limited resources in term of students'opportunities to do sports．
It is known to all what sports are very important to young people．If they havean access to good sports facilities，young people can adopt a healthy lifestyle andbecome more confident．
I suggest build a new playground，where should be designed for students withdifferent interests．They should have a different section for each activity and available to students all year round．I believe so a sports area will meet our sportingneeds．
Thanks for your reading．
Yours faithfully，
Li Ming．
