There is a zoo named Zhongshan in our city. There are many animals. Some animals are very friendly. But some other animals are not. Tigers,  lions and some snakes are dangerous(危险的). That’s why they must be in cages(笼). But I don’t think it’s good for animals to be in cages. They need to be free. The animals in cages cannot be happy.

Tigers usually live in forests(森林)and mountains(高山). They are strong and can run very fast(快). They run after and eat small animals like rabbits and deer(鹿),  but now they are in small cages. They have nothing to do every day. So they walk around in the cages,  and they want to come out. When they are tired,  they sleep. I am kind of sorry for them.

We’ve talked about snails (蜗牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They are in their shells (壳) —sleeping.

Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into his shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.

In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers (触角), are very weak. But its sense (感觉) of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food and the new greens.

A snail’s mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin (大头针). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can’t see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.
