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

Zoos Are Unnatural

  In Maria's letter, she says that zoos are good for animals. I am afraid that zoos are not good for animals, they are only good for people. It is unnatural(非自然的) and unfair to keep wild animals in cages(笼子). 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(对待) 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.

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 over 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 always 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 are 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(机会) to live. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world.

  Two young men went past the house of the mayor(市长) and caught sight of(看到) a goose(鹅) hanging inside the kitchen window. They liked the goose very much, so they thought up a plan to get the goose at night with the help of a ladder(梯子).

  It was dark. They propped up(架起) a ladder and one of them climbed up it. Just at that moment, a policeman got to the street corner and walked up to them, asking, “What are you doing here?”

  The man holding the ladder pretended to be calm(故作镇静) and said, “Well, sir. Tomorrow will be the birthday of our mayor, you see. We wanted to make him happy, so we hung this goose in his kitchen.”

  “It's really nice of you,” said the policeman. “But why don't you do it during the day? Such a present is far from bribing(贿赂), but what you are doing here at night is improper(不合适的).”

  Obediently(顺从地), the young man cried upwards to his partner, “Bring the goose back down, Jack!”
