Nowadays there's a general discussion on zoos among people. These two students write their different ideas on a newspaper.
Zoos Do a Good Job —— Maria Smith
I know a large number of people think it is not wise to keep animals in zoos. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} , I believe that it is good to keep animals in zoos.
Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.
Secondly, zoos {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the animals very well. The animals are given food and cleaned regularly. In the wild (野外) , it is not always easy for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . But animals kept in zoos never suffer from hunger.
Thirdly, zoos protect the animals they take care of. They {#blank#}5{#/blank#} 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 to live. There would be fewer kinds of animals in the world if there were no zoos.
Zoos Are Unnatural ——Philip Black
In my opinion, zoos are not good for animals; they are only good for people.
It is not natural and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to keep wild animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages that are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . 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 {#blank#}8{#/blank#} looking for their own food. We should treat 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.

B: For example, you shouldn't put your bread on your plate.

A: Where should I put it?

B: You should put it on the table!

A: I have to say it's very {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

A: What else do you find surprising?

B: You shouldn't put your {#blank#}4{#/blank#} on your lap.

A: Oh? Where should people put their hands?

B: They should always {#blank#}5{#/blank#} their hands on the table.
