The baby elephant, Sheila, was moved out of Belfast Zoo because of fears she might be hit by bombers during the Belfast Blitz (闪电战) of 1941.
She was one of the lucky ones. A lot of the animals were killed because of fears they might escape during the bombing and attack people. They included a tiger, a black bear, a wolf, a penguin, and two polar bears.
But Sheila was walked down the road by zoo-keepers to a nearby house where a woman took her in and kept her in her backyard for several months until the bombing was over.

“Well, we know that Sheila, the elephant that was in the zoo at that time spent some time living with a lady relatively near to the zoo and we have one sweet photo, you can see it on our zoo website.”
“In the photo you can see the elephant with the lady in her back garden and that’s almost all we know. So we’re just trying to find a little bit more information and we are not even sure if the lady is alive today, but maybe her relatives or somebody will recognize the back of that house and we can fill in some detail on this story.”

Maybe you will feel surprised when you are told that hot drink you're drinking could actually make you colder.
And that's not the only thing making it hard to stay warm when the temperature continues to drop around you. You're going to need all the advice you can get to stay warm this winter.
Below are 5 things that'll help you avoid having to do this all winter.
1. Loneliness can lower your body temperature.
The lack of social contact can lead to physical consequences. In other words, giving someone the "cold shoulder" can actually make them feel colder.
2. Hot drinks might actually cool you off.
When having a hot drink, your tongue nerves “tells” the rest of your body that something "hot" is coming and you need to start sweating. This will not help you become warm. On the opposite, consuming too much of a cold drink can actually warm you up because it causes your blood vessels to tighten.

Exposure to lower temperatures doesn't give you a cold by itself. Instead, the rise in sickness and colds in the winter months is mainly because people spending more time indoors, which allows germs to spread between people more easily.

Some researchers say that white's function as a reflector also applies to(适用于) body heat, that is to say, wearing white may trap your natural heat close to your body. Dark clothes may be less likely to trap your body heat in.
5. The cold weather can help you lose weight.
In cold temperatures the body works harder to warm itself up, not only burning more calories but also activating(激活) brown fat, which burns them more efficiently than white fat. So, some people believe that punishing themselves with icy-cold temperatures can help them lose more weight.

The singer, Mick Jagger, sings a song that tells us we can’t always get what we want but if we try sometimes we can get what we need. In the past years my parents have told me this saying many times. But I didn’t listen to them.
This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida. This has been a killer for me because I can’t see her and she is having a difficult time in school. So last month, I tried to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go there. My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket. I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money. I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money. Finally I thought I could get a job and work hard to earn some money. I applied to Safeway Company and I succeeded.
I have worked at Safeway for about a month now and work hard to earn money to see my girlfriend. The other day my mom had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks. I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I have to. We both smiled. I believe that you can’t always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.
