① Animal behavior is an interesting and attractive study. Scientists research the ways animals use to look for food. They study how animals protect themselves from their predators, and which animals kill other animals for food. All of this helps us understand how useful animals can be.
② Each country or culture raises some animals for food. In the United States, people mainly eat meat from cows, chickens and pigs. In some other countries, people might raise sheep or buffalo for meat. These differences come in part from weather and other environmental conditions (状况). People around the world eat all kinds of fish and shellfish from oceans and rivers. In some countries, people don't always choose some animal groups, such as dogs, for food while in other countries such animals may become people's favorite food.
③ In West Africa, animals provide humans with more than food. They have been helping people do daily work for thousands of years. Horses, oxen, and other work animals pull heavy things. Elephants, camels and other animals carry people and things from place to place. Carrier pigeons (信鸽) have been used to send messages.
④ People also receive health benefits (利益) from animals. For example, dogs and cats can help calm people down. This is helpful for people fighting illnesses. Animals can also reduce stress, helping people to draw their attention to learning new information, such as reading. When people are walking their dogs or horses, it encourages exercise.
⑤ Animals and humans share space on Earth, so keeping a healthy relationship with animals around us is in our best interest.
a. Pull heavy things.
b. Carry people.
c. Send messages.
d. Look for food.

I'm in trouble. Last week,we had a football match,and we lost. We played well,but one teammate didn't do his best,I think. It was like he wasn't even on the field!Disappointed by what he did,I said all this to my best friend to let out my anger. But he told everyone else what I'd said. I'm really angry with him. What should I say to him?And should I say something to my teammate? | ||
Reply There is an old American saying, "Loose lips sink ships. "This means that if you speak too much about something,especially to people who you don't know so well,it'll cause all kinds of trouble. Maybe now you're in this situation. 13 likes | ||
Reply I was at the game and you did your best. I think it was awful of your teammate not to try his best. You know,teamwork,is very important. If you play,play it well!But I don't think it's OK to talk behind his back because it might hurt his feelings. Maybe there is a better way to solve the problem. 25 likes | ||
Reply In my view,no secret is safe. It's natural for your friend to tell others about what you're sharing. This is how we keep close to each other in a group. So,learn the lesson. Next time,keep it to yourself. 10 likes | ||
Reply I understand why you were angry with your teammate. A successful team requires everyone's effort. But what you did doesn't actually help. Next time in the same situation,try to communicate with your teammate directly and honestly. Besides,when filled with anger,you would say whatever comes to your mind. And that might hurt others. Take a deep breath,calm down,and always remember:think first,speak later. As for the problem with your friend,tell him you're angry because what he did made the situation worse. 30 likes |
