Kids Camp at the Zoo
How do you feed bears and tigers? And what exactly do they like to eat, anyway? These were just a couple of the questions kids got a chance to ask at the Dakota Zoo in Bismarck, North Dakota.
About two dozens kids took part in the zoo’s first Junior Zookeeping Camp.1. “I like seeing the animals and seeing how the zookeepers take care of them,” said Christopher Brady, and eight-year-old kid.
A number of zoos across the country are holding camps for kids this summer. The kids are learning all about the animals.2.That includes the cleaning of the waste from those animals. “It isn’t just petting animals or doing the easy stuff,” zookeeper Greg Schmit said. “It’s actually a lot of work.”
At the Brookfield Zoo near Chicago, Illinois, 9-year-old Elise McCormack learned that the best place to take a blood sample from a dolpin is from the tail. “3.” She said.
And at the Hattiesburg Zoo in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, kids are learning all about the native habitats of the zoo’s animals—the lands where those animals originally came from. “I really like learning about the animals and getting to see and pet the animals. ” 10-year-old Susan Worley said.
4. “The reindeer are pretty cool,” 11-year-old Patrick Litton said. And some kids surprised themselves, for example, some kids got a chance to touch a corn snake.
“Every day, there is animal interaction,” said Krissy Hamilton of the Hattiesburg Zoo. “That helps kids develop a greater appreciation for animals.5.”
A.What animals do these kids actually like best?
B.The kids have learned how to care about the animals
C.How do those kids learn to feed the animals in the zoo?
D.You can see the veins（静脉）on the tail if you are close enough.
E.And it also gives them something they’ll remember forever.
F.There they could get a close look at many of the zoo’s residents.
G.They are also learning about some of the routine work of zoo-keeping.
People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual (个体的); they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of the individual.
People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as your? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us.The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped (瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded (侵犯) his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!
If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don't have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long,you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and "outside". Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don't know about.And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you.Haven't you enjoyed being part of a group and "owning" a bit of space?

During the Second World War, Winston Churchill was the British Prime Minister. One day he had to go to the British Broadcasting Corporation to make an important speech to the nation.
An hour before the time of this speech, he stopped a taxi in the street and asked the driver to take him to the BBC, but the taxi-driver, who did not recognize him, said he could not take him anywhere just then, because he wanted to go back to his home at the other end of London to hear Churchill make a speech on the radio. Churchill was so pleased when he heard this. Churchill answered that he gave the man a pound, which was worth quite a lot in those days.
"All right, get in," said the driver happily, opening the door of the taxi. "I'll take you, and to hell with Churchill and his speech ! "
