A

George Watford works at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to

Animals (ASPCA) in New York City.He gets some unusual phone calls.One day，he got

a call about a mountain lion living in a samll building.“We didn’t believe it，”

Watford said.“But when we went out there，sure enough，there was a mountain lion

sitting at the front window looking out at us”．The big cat’s owner knew that his

neighbors were unhappy about the animal.He didn’t try to stop us taking it away.

In one year，the ASPCA took in 9,459 different animals，not counting cats and

dogs.That number includes a lot of rabbits and monkeys，but the ASPCA has also taken

many other exotic (外来的) pets from people’s homes.These animals can’t be set

free into the wild because they wouldn’t survive.The ASPCA tries to find homes for

them in zoos or special areas for animals.

It’s against the law to sell wild animals in New York City.Many buildings

don’t even allow dogs and cats，not to mention more exotic animals.Still，the ASPCA

takes away most of the exotic animals not because of complaints (怨言)，but because

the pet’s owner needs help.A lovely baby lion or bear will finally grow up to be

dangerous.“When they bite (咬人)，it isn’t because they hate you.It’s because

they’re wild animals，” said exotic animal expert Kathi Travers.

Travers is quick to give speeches against raising wild animals as pets.Too often

people think that caring for a wild animal is the same as caring for a dog or a cat.“To

love an animal is not enough，”Travers said.“There has to be respect (尊重)，and respect is not taking an animal，sticking it in a little cage，and expecting

the animal to be happy.”

National Potato Day was back on Friday 23rd August 2013.Along with Bord

Bia(Irish Food Board) and many other potato growers in Ireland，Keogh’s Farm brought

you a day that was all about potatoes and showing love for our national vegetable.

Keogh’s invited the public to Spud Fest，which took place on Dublin’s South

King Street from 12 pm to 4 pm.This festival brought the farm to the city with potato

performers，face painters，balloon modeling，music，tastings and plenty of other

festival fun to celebrate the most delicious day of the year.There were lots of h

h potatoes，of course.

Keogh’s along with the support of Bord Bia called on everyone to enjoy at least

one potato on National Potato Day.Potatoes are naturally low in fat，a great source

of vitamins and minerals and are a great way to support local Irish homegrown produce

and businesses.

Tom Keogh，General Manager of Keogh’s Farm said，We can’t believe we were

getting ready for our third year of National Potato Day.When we dreamt the idea up

in 2011，we had no idea it would attract so many people.Since the first National

Potato Day we have received nothing but interest in potatoes at home and all over

the world.

Ireland is now recognized as one of the finest producers of top quality

vegetables，with the potato leading the field.We are happy that Bord Bia have joined

us this year to bring all our fellow potato producers together and join forces to

promote (提升) the enjoyment of the potato.We are hoping National Potato Day is a

day to encourage everyone to love potatoes!

A

I lay in the hospital bed with my six­year­old daughter, Elizabeth, holding her

in my arms. “Mommy, will you stay with me the whole time？” she asked, looking

up. “You know I can't be in the operating room，” I said carefully, not wanting

to frighten her. “But Daddy and I will be waiting right outside.” Elizabeth nodded,

but her eyes looked troubled.

Elizabeth had broken her right leg in July. Seven months

later, it still hadn t healed (康复). In fact, it had gotten

worse. She was here in the hospital for surgery (手术)．

I wanted to tell her that everything would be okay and

promise that this would be the last time she d have to go

through this. But what if something went wrong again? How could I comfort my daughter

when I needed comfort myself?

Unit 4 Wildlife protection

越来越多的人已经意识到了保护野生动植物的重要性。但是有些贫困国家的农民正在利用野生动植物的栖息地来种植食物。

Farming and Wildlife Protection

Almost half of the world's 17，000 wildlife protected areas are being used for

farming.A report says using land for agriculture is causing many kinds of plants

and animals to disappear.

Farmers must use better farming methods that provide food while protecting

wildlife.Experts say ten percent of the land on Earth has been designed to protect

wildlife.Yet these nature preserves often share common ground with farms in many

poor countries.Many of these areas are where animal species are most at risk.

Experts say many species，in preserves are dying out because of the agricultural

areas that surround them.This is because many animals need to move to other places

to survive.The limited space in nature preserves cannot fill this need.The lands
