Hey, I'm a raccoon dog (貉), not a raccoon (浣熊), though we look similar. I used to live in the wild. But these days, I moved to the big. city of Shanghai and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (become) a neighbor of humans.

These years, many raccoon dogs like me moved to cities. One big r{#blank#}2{#/blank#} is that the cities are greener. There are many p{#blank#}3{#/blank#} and pools in your neighborhood. I like to live near the bushes (灌木) and water, 

As for food, in the wild, I had to try hard to hunt for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (mouse) and rabbits. But now. I can find food in trash cans (垃圾捅) . Many people f{#blank#}5{#/blank#} homeless cats. Sometimes, I also eat the tasty cat food. Life in the city is very comfortable and convenient. I'm getting much {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (fat)!

What's more, my human neighbors are k{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. They never drive me away, though they may not be very clear about w{#blank#}8{#/blank#} animal I am.

But there is also a problem. Scientists find about 3, 000-5, 000 of us in 300 communities (社区) in Shanghai. Some communities are crowded. Scientists hope some {#blank#}9{#/blank#} us could move to other places. They got smelly tiger urine (尿液) from the zoo and left it on the wall to scare us a{#blank#}10{#/blank#}. But I'm a clever raccoon dog. I was not fooled by it!

It's a beautiful place {#blank#}1{#/blank#} {#blank#}2{#/blank#} old buildings. 

Enjoying the beauty of the sky at night is a difficult thing for people in cities since light pollution destroys everything. 1 , photos taken by astrophotographers (天文摄影师) offer people chances 2 the beautiful stars. 

Zhang Jingyi, 27, is 3 space lover and full - time astrophotographer. When Zhang was asked 4 she chose this career, she answered, "Because we all dream of living on a planet far from us. Doesn't it sound 5 ?"

With the fast development of China's space science, Zhang started to record rocket launching moments. "I carefully follow the development of the Tiangong space station with one of my favourite 6 . Every launch 7 me a strong sense of achievement. " she said. And then she added, "Some photographers 8 sell their work-some photos even reach six digits (六位数), but I believe that my photos are priceless and cannot 9 . " As a famous user on Sina Weibo with 10 followers, Zhang also films videos to give her audience a much 11 impression on her works, so that she can have more followers. 

In Zhang's opinion, astrophotographers need to be faithful to their careers. They should always work hard, or they will feel ashamed 12 themselves. For example, when taking photos of the stars, they have to do that on the cold highlands at night. "These difficulties are nothing if you 13 love what you do, " Zhang said. 14 experience is also important. "There isn't a detailed guidebook for creating art, " Zhang said. "You have to learn from 15 own works. Then you can add personal thoughts into them and see them improving. "
