  These two letters appeared in a newspaper. Both writers have their own ideas on zoos.

Zoos Do a Good Job

  It is good to keep animals in zoos. I know a lot of people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos. However ,I believe that zoos have many good points.

  Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all the world. Without zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.

  Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are given food and cleaned regularly(定期). In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. But animals kept in zoos never go hungry.

  Thirdly, zoos protect the animals they look after. They offer them safe places to live in, In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct(灭绝). But zoos give these animals a chance to live. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world.

Maria Smith

Zoos Are Unnatural

  In Maria's letter, she says that zoos are good for animals. I'm afraid that zoos are not good for animals, they are only good for people.

  It is unnatural and unfair to keep wild animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages that are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos, they can't do this. This is why the bears and tigers always look so sad.

  Most cages are not very clean, either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but this is not natural. Wild animals are used to looking for their own food. We should treat animals in the same way that we treat other people--with respect. Would anyone be happy if you don't let him go outside his home? Would Maria like to have lots of people standing outside her flat looking at her? No, she wouldn't. And animals don't like it, either.

  Cars will run on solar power or electricity and will be much cleaner. They will be much safer. For example, if you are too close to another car or if you are driving dangerously, your car will slow down by itself.

  Because there won't be any spare land, new cities will have to be built in the sea. Some cities on water will have two levels. People will live on the upper level :the lower level will be used for traffic, shops and factories.

  Biotechnology will make food better and healthier. Plants that are not affected by insects or illnesses will be developed. The taste of fruit and vegetables will be better and food will be kept longer.

  New technology will be used to make TVs that are only 5 cm thick. They will have pictures that are as clear as photos. Electrical appliances will be quieter and will be controlled by computer; they will also use 50% less power.

  Many new ways to cure illnesses will be successful using products of genetic engineering. Cures will be found for the flu and the common cold. However, some new illnesses will appear.

Cat's Friendship

  A man has a cat. He likes her very much. At meal time the cat sits at the table with him.

  The man eats with a knife and fork, but the cat eats from her plate. Sometimes, when she finishes her dish, her master(主人)will give her a bit of his food. He shares his meal with her.

  One day the cat is not at the table at meal time.

  “Ah!Where is my cat?” asks the man.

  His wife says, “Can't you eat without her?”

  So the meal begins without the cat. Before lunch is over, the cat rushes into the room and jumps up into the chair quickly. She has two mice in her mouth, and before anyone can stop her, she drops one into her own plate, and the other into her master's plate.

  “Dear me!” cries the woman. “A mouse in your plate!”

  “Hush!” says her husband. “This shows that she is a nice cat. She knows what friendship is. She wishes me to share her dinner as I have often shared mine with her.”

What Is Time

  What is time? We can't see it and we can't catch hold of it. But we can feel it pass by. Time is always with us in our life. When we are at the table,time passes away while we are eating. When we wash our faces,time slips away in front of us. And when we play,time goes by unnoticeably.

  Time is fair to every one of us. If you make the best use of it,time will give you a lot. Otherwise (否则),you will miss a lot . The lost time will not be found again. Today,time is becoming more and more valuable to us. You can always hear people say,“Time is money. Time is life.”It warns us not to waste any time.
