19、mostly for entertainment purposes－is fair and respectful? Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals.

20、ir natural homes. Zoos claim(聲稱) to educate people and save endangered species(物種), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ n

When my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Ar

30、ound that time, I told my husband that they were having an essay competition and the topic was experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream. In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Bush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84

31、and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it.

33、ng forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe.

34、ll for about a minute before jay opened the parachute (降落傘) then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt---- much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it. Skydiving was really one of t

35、he greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old.

40、g cars on the shoulder. ” ??? But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be abl

41、e to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult.
