Stop reading for a minute and think about what you see when you look up at the sky on a clear night. You probably see many stars(星星). Long long ago, farmers watch some stars to know when to plant their crops. Travellers did so to find their way in the dark. Today stars are still important to some people.
Scientists find that most stars are very big. In fact some stars are so far away that it would take millions of years to get to them even by spaceship.
Another thing we know today about stars is that some are made up of(由……组成) hot gases. The gases are so hot that they send out light. If you watch a star carefully, you may notice that it twinkles(闪烁) sometimes. As you may understand, light from a star must shine through the air before you can see the star. Air is always moving, it makes light from the star move back and forth. When the light moves, it makes the star twinkle. Stars also have different colours. The colours of a star depend on how hot it is. To our surprise, the cool stars are red and the hottest stars are white.
We need animals. Every animal has its place in the balance(平衡) of nature. We should try to help save the animals.
Some people think zoos are good places. The zoos give the animals the comfortable and safe living places. If the animals get hurt or ill, people will take care of them. The zoo is a good place to know the rules in the wild world. We can be much closer to nature. We can know more about the animals in the zoos by watching, listening even smelling instead of just looking at the pictures in books.
Some people don't think animals feel happy in the zoos. Animals like pandas, wolves and bears usually live in the wild. They play and find food by themselves. They are free and happy in the wild. If they are in the zoos, food is enough and rooms are comfortable. They do not need to do their best to find food to eat or places to stay in. They just walk around, sleep day and night, but they are not free at all.
I think we should build national parks as wild life nature reserves to protect animals. If we do nothing, animals will get fewer and fewer.

When you are waiting on a phone call with a pen in your hand or feeling bored on a train, you may probably doodle(涂鸦). Consultant Graphology(笔迹咨询师)Tracey has studied the most common doodles and their meaning in a new piece of research. Here she shares the psychology(心理学)behind those doodles.
Circles Drawing round shapes expresses the need to love and be loved. |
Squares If you're drawing squares, then this shows a practical(脚踏实地的)nature. |
Triangles If you're drawing triangles, his shows you are an energetic and powerful nature. |
Flowers If your flower has a large round centre, this expresses confidence and the enjoyment of a good social life. |
Hearts Hearts have always been symbols of love. It clearly expresses that you pay much attention to feelings, but easily get sad as well. |
Coils(线圈) Drawing these complicated(复杂的)shapes means the doodlers have a colorful life and the ability of creativity. What unusual doodles they are! |
Webs This kind of doodles may be unusual and complicated, but drawing webs shows special personalities that are good at leading people to a special situation. |
Boxes It's not good news for people who draw boxes. Because Tracey believes that while this shows great dreams, it can also be a sign of materialism(物质主义). |
