Shut Up Zoos, Not Animals

You may think that visiting zoos is harmless fun, but you're wrong because zoos are just prisons for animals. The difference is that prisoners get out after a few years! Animals in cages look bored and sad. After all, we all know what an elephant looks like, and we've seen them on TV. So why make animals hurt by shutting them up for our fun?

Shut up the zoos instead!

I partly agree. But some zoos aren't there for fun. I've just got back from Jersey Zoo. It saves endangered animals and feeds them. Then it returns the babies to the wild. Not all zoos are the same, you know.

Posted by: Susan on May 8, at 20:55

Quite agree! Every time I go to the zoo, I never look into the poor animals' eyes! Kept in the small and smelly cages, they look so lonely. Hope one day they will return to nature, where they can live happily and freely with their family.

Posted by: Tony on May 9, at 21:05

In my opinion, zoos are fantastic places for children. They can play with animals and enjoy themselves so much there. Also, they learn a lot about animals. Why shut up

【题目】 Two more American universities, Adelphi University in New York, and Louisiana State University, have begun accepting scores from China’s national college entrance exam, or gaokao, in order to attract more Chinese students.

This means Chinese students no longer need to take the SAT, ACT or TOEFL. However, Chinese students must find ways to show their English skills. If they want to take part in Adelphi's international program and Louisiana State University’s global program, they must first finish eight weeks of English-language lessons, starting in October. After passing the exam, they can start their first year at one of the universities.

Since 2015, US universities have more accepted gaokao scores as part of the application(申请) process for Chinese students, but they still need either a basic English test score or to pass an interview.

“Chinese students at the university have achieved better grades than their US classmates, and that’s why we prefer students from China,” Shawn O’Riley, leader of the College said. “We have around 300 Chinese students and plan to increase the number. We also offer scholarship, from $5,000 to $15,000 depending on their gaokao score.”

Todd Ellwein, the director of Louisiana State University’s global program, said students who get high scores in the gaokao are not only the best students in China but also the world. The gaokao is a good way of choosing good students, and a high score in the exam means good basic knowledge, patience and a strong ability to deal with high pressure and compete with others.

Shi Yan, from Chivast Education International, said many universities in Hong Kong, Europe, Australia and Canada, have already made the gaokao an admission criterion(录取标准), too.

1When do the English-language lessons in these two universities begin?

A.In October.B.In November.C.In September.

2Why do some US universities like Chinese students better?

A.Because they are usually smarter in the universities.

B.Because their grades are better than the US classmates’.

C.Because they find ways to show their English skills.

3What does the underlined word “scholarship” mean in Chinese?

A.学者B.学业C.奖学金

4According to the passage, a high score means a lot EXCEPT ________.

A.high pressureB.good basic knowledgeC.much patience

5The purpose of the passage is________.

A.to introduce China’s national college entrance exam, gaokao

B.to encourage more young people to enter American universities

C.to tell people the growing popularity of gaokao around the world

If you love stories about sisterhood(姐妹情证), creative minds and female independence, you shouldn’t miss the movie Little Women. Time chose it as one of the ten1 movies of 2019 along with Pain&Glory, The Irishman and others.

Little Women is based on the American author Louisa May Alcott’s novel of the same title. The story centers 2 four sisters —Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy — who lived through the American Civil War(美国南北战争).

At that time, women were not equal(平等的)to men, but Jo is brave enough to look for her own personal 3. In order to become a writer, she turns down a marriage proposal(求婚)from Laurie, a rich and handsome man. Amy, on the other hand, is more practical. She knows that she must marry up4 her family.

Although the four girls are different in many ways, it is their5 that are highlighted(强调). Their talent, their kind hearts, their 6 to love— these things make them role models for young viewers.Their coming-of-age stories show the important 7 their parents taught them, as Common Sense Media noted.

The movie 8 with the girls in their 20s and flashes back to their childhoods, when they thought they could do 9. As they grow up, however, they need to face many difficulties in life. “The way the world makes it hard for even gifted and 10 women to succeed is one of the points the movie is very much making,” the Los Angeles Times wrote. It’s something a lot of girls and women can relate to today.
