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.

    It is Monday morning. Mary, Lucy, Tina and Judy{#blank#}1{#/blank#}in the classroom.

    Mary says she loves{#blank#}2{#/blank#}because she loves Christmas(圣诞节). She can have a{#blank#}3{#/blank#}time with her family. And she doesn't like June.

    Lucy likes July{#blank#}4{#/blank#}she likes the summer holiday(暑假). In July, her parents take{#blank#}5{#/blank#}to travel(旅行). It's really great.

    Tina thinks the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}month is good. People can go out with{#blank#}7{#/blank#} and families. They can have a great {#blank#}8{#/blank#}together（一起）.

    Judy likes October because her birthday is on the tenth day in this {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. She usually has a good time on her{#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    With its black-white coat, the animal is one of the most precious (珍贵的) animals in the world. It is native to China, proudly called the "{#blank#}1{#/blank#} treasure". {#blank#}2{#/blank#} name is Panda. The name of "Panda" now refers to (指的是) the giant panda.

    In China, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the Great Wall and the Terracotta Army, the giant panda also attracts the world-wide tourists.

    As the most famous animal of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} , the giant panda appears in the logo(标志) of the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF). It also has {#blank#}5{#/blank#} chances than other animals to be the mascot (吉祥物) of international games held in China. And it shows up as an actor on the big screen, such as Kung Fu Panda.

    The giant panda is regarded as the symbol of peace. In Japanese {#blank#}6{#/blank#}records, the Tang Dynasty sent a couple of bears and seventy pieces of fur as national gifts to Japan. The "{#blank#}7{#/blank#} bears" were giant pandas.

    One female panda usually has {#blank#}8{#/blank#} one baby, and it is not easy for wild pandas to have twins anyway. If you want to see them, you'd better go to Chengdu. Why? {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the main breeding (繁育) centers were built around this area. Certainly some city {#blank#}10{#/blank#} also have giant pandas, such as Beijing Zoo, Chongqing Zoo, etc.

    The giant pandas are so lovely creatures (生物) . More and more people become fans of them.

    One day, an 11-year-old boy, Robby, came into my classroom for his first piano lesson. Over the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, he tried very hard to learn the pieces, while I listened and encouraged him. However, he was not good at {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the piano.

    At the end of each week, he would always say ,"My mom is going to hear me play on the stage some day, "Then one day Robby {#blank#}3{#/blank#} coming to my lessons. I thought he gave up learning the piano.

    Several weeks {#blank#}4{#/blank#} our school planned to hold a concert. To my surprise, Robby came and asked {#blank#}5{#/blank#} he could be in it. He said his mother had been sick and unable to afford his piano lessons, but he was still practicing. I agreed to let {#blank#}6{#/blank#} play.

    Robby was the last to play at the concert. He chose a Mozart's piece. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} six and a half minutes, he ended. In tears, I ran up to hug Robby. " I've {#blank#}8{#/blank#} heard you play like that, Robby! {#blank#}9{#/blank#} did you do it? Robby explained, "Well, in fact my mother had cancer, but she comes here today. So tonight is the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} time that she has ever heard me play on the stage. I wanted to make it special".
