Henry: Hi, Emily. The May Day holiday is coming. What's your plan for it?

Emily: Well, let's have a trip together, OK?

Henry: Good idea! Where shall we go?

Emily: What about going to Qingdao{#blank#}1{#/blank#}?

Henry: I'm afraid that's not a good idea. Qingdao is not suitable for travelling at this time of year.

Emily: I see. Then how about Beijing? There are many{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Henry: But I{#blank#}3{#/blank#} there a few times.

Emily: Then what's your idea?

Henry: I hear Jiuzhaigou is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to the public recently. And it's much more beautiful than before.

Emily: Yeah. It's really a place of nature. And our government spends much money rebuilding it.

It's well worth {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

Henry: OK. Turn on the computer and find more information about it.

    Do you how that animals have love for each other and their children just like us humans? Let me tell you some{#blank#}1{#/blank#}stories of great animal parents.

    Several years ago a heavy rain hit a town and made the river go up. When the rain stopped, people found that a dog swam to an island in the river twice a day for two weeks. Why did she do so? Her four children were there. The mother swam there every day to{#blank#}2{#/blank#}her babies. This true story moved many people.

Another story is about chimpanzees（猩猩）. A scientist named Jane Goodall spent four years {#blank#}3{#/blank#}chimpanzees in Africa. She found that chimpanzees also{#blank#}4{#/blank#}those that were hurt or got lost. "It is not only humans who have duties, animals also do." she said.

    Two birds in Chengdu also showed their parental（父母的）love. Their baby was hurt and fell on the street in the center of the city. Cars were driving past but the brave parents rushed down to the road and took the little bird away with their claws（爪子）.

In San Francisco, there is a special group of volunteers. They call themselves Friends of the Urban (城市的) Forest (FUF). These volunteers want to {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Every year, the FUF plants nearly 1,000 trees.

The FUF welcomes new volunteers all year round and in all parts of its work. On Weekend Planting Days, FUF volunteers work with common citizens (市民) to plant trees. The planting usually runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. After the work is done, everyone {#blank#}2{#/blank#} over a community lunch.

On Thursday Planting Days, the FUF plants "replacement (替换) trees". As their name suggests, these trees replace trees {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. Planting Leaders are very experienced volunteers. They are able to help other volunteers at planting events. Planting Leaders usually wear a special FUF T-shirt. Some new volunteers know little about "replacement trees". They can easily find Planting Leaders and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.
