一、阅读选择

If you love animals, chances are that you've been to several zoos or aquariums(水族馆), and you may

have even planned a family getaway around a new zoo. If you're looking for some suggestions, the online

review community TripAdvisor recently made a list of America's top 10 zoos. You might be surprised that

some of the nation's most popular zoos are located in small or mid-size cities around the country. The

following are four of these top zoos.

Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha

Never heard of Henry Doorly Zoo? TripAdvisor reviewers didn't just rank(排列) it No. 1 in the

country; they ranked it the No.1 zoo in the world. There are kinds of interesting activities and programs in

this zoo and its aquarium. You won't be disappointed if you visit it.

San Diego Zoo in San Diego

Considered by many people to be a special zoo, San Diego Zoo supports the concept(概念) of open-air,

cageless shows that re-create natural animal environments, with different animal species(物种) living side

by side. If you want to know how animals live naturally in the wild, don’t miss it.

St. Louis Zoo in St. Louis

It began as a single show during the 1904 World's Fair(世博会). Now it has grown to be St. Louis Zoo

Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like

to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do.

The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly

and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away

from a scared or angry looking face.

One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think

about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want

to keep talking to that person?

Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they

live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you

have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an

answer for them. There’s nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for

an answer.

Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends.

Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who

are nice to them.

Disney will release a second “Frozen” movie on November 22. Now, we know a bit

more about how it will look. On September 23, a brand-new, two-minute trailer (预告片) was

released. The love between sisters is going to be tested again in “Frozen 2.” Queen Elsa and

Princess Anna will take a journey. Together, they hope to save the kingdom of Arendelle. We

also get to meet some new characters.

The clip (片段) opens with a narrator (讲述者) speaking. “Far away, as north as we can go,

once stood an enchanted forest,” he says. The scene flashes back to a young Elsa and Anna.

They are talking with their parents. In the first movie, the parents died in a terrible accident.
