Think twice before you make the final decision.3., especially if they tell you that :the offer is only good for that day.

Occupying a position in your spare time is important because you can earn “spending money”. And your job can have an even bigger impact if it's one that allows you to do your homework. There are many on-campus jobs out there that allow you to sit down and have limited responsibilities.

An extreme drought is threatening South Africa's wildlife industry. Farmers are keeping fewer animals and vacationers are visiting in smaller numbers. Parts of the country have been affected by repeated years of hotter than normal weather and below average rainfall. The conditions have burned feeding grass and dried up watering holes. In 2015, the area saw the driest year on record. The agency Wildlife Ranching South Africa ( WRSA) collets data on more than 9,000 wildlife ranches ( 牧场) in the nation. It estimates that the Northern Cape Province has lost more than .two thirds of its game over the last three years. WRSA is talking to ranchers around the country to gather information on animal loss and the financial impact the drought is having.
WRSA Chief Adri Kitshoff-Botha told Reuters News Agency the drought has continued for some time. “In some areas we've seen it has been going on for six years, ”she said. The wildlife industry brings money to South Africa's economy through tourism, hunting, breeding and meat production. Hunting —the shooting of carefully chosen animals in particular—made $ 140 million in 2016, topping the list of the four mentioned, above, breeding ranking the least, though.
In the past, the lodge (度假区) was home to around 4,500 wild animals—including 35 different species from antelope to rhino. But it has lost around 1 ,000 animals because of the drought. Now, dead animals sit in old and unused mines on the edge of the property. “The lodge has seen its spending rise as it buys more feed for animals for the sake of the drought. At the same time, hunters are paying less, and fewer tourists are visiting because the animals are in poor condition over the past year,” said WRSA’s Kitshof-Botha. The drought has also hit other parts of South Africa. In Botswana, more than 100 elephants died in two months in 2019. Botswana is home to almost one-third of Africa's elephants.

Nowadays, we depend on advanced technology too much. However, a the saying goes, a coin has two sides. The tool bringing you convenience may also put you in trouble. Here is a modern-day horror story:

Meanwhile, her iPhone rang aloud, which attracted his son's attention. He stopped crying temporarily. It occurred to her that the iPhone might help. Thus, she handed her iPhone to her son: What happened next? The child entered an incorrect passcode on his mother's phone so many times that the device became locked for 251 14984 minutes, about 47 years, making it absolutely useless to its formerly digitally connected owner. That's the scene now facing a Shanghai mother, identified only as Ms Lu by Chinese news reports, whose kid played with her phone and unfortunately began the process of disabling the device for, basically, forever. According to a news report, Ms Lu waited two months to see if the situation would improve, but the iPhone remained locked. “I couldn't really wait 47 years and tell my grandchild it was his father's mistake, ”she reportedly said. The alternative mode of accessing the phone is to wipe it with a factory reset. This is why you should always backup ( 备份) all your data.
