coins to collect rather than spend? One collecting kind is called "commemorative"-coins that honor
famous people, places, and events. If you have coins to spend, those are called "circulating" coins.
2008 American Bald Eagle Coins celebrated an American success story: the bald eagle (秃头鹰).
Congress passed an act to recognize the eagle, its importance as a national symbol,and its return from
near extinction (灭绝) in the lower 48 states. The series celebrated the eagle's recovery as well as the
35th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, which had helped in the recovery.
The Founding Fathers chose the bald eagle as the Great Seal of the United States at the Second
Continental Congress in 1782. Ever since, this bird has represented the spirit of freedom and democracy. The eagle also appears on the seals of many branches and departments of the United States
government.
The bald eagle is a major symbol of democracy, standing for American values like freedom, courage,
and strength. It has appeared in American art, music, history, literature, and culture. So, the bald eagle is
very important to the United States.
This once?endangered species, unique to North America, is now making a gradual comeback.
Classified as "endangered" in 1973 under the Endangered Species Act, this eagle was later moved to
the less endangered "threatened" list, thanks to the law, caring people and organizations.
The bald eagle will probably be removed from the "threatened species" list, but the eagle won't be
"out of the woods" just yet. Wildlife agencies will need to keep an eye on the eagle for at least 5 years
after it's taken off the list. Part of the surcharge (额外费用) on the bald eagle coins can be used to help
this work.

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It's like looking at the tiled(铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 【小题1】 .

As with happiness itself, this is 【小题20】 your decision to make.
