Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

I used to want to be a zookeeper, but after becoming a wildlife rescue worker, I found that this work is even more valuable than I thought.Not only can I help injured wild animals, but I can also facilitate their return to the wild.We make every effort to accomplish this goal: hiding food under rocks and fallen leaves to simulate(模拟) a natural environment, or doing our best to maintain some distance from the animals and prevent them from bonding with humans.

I am often asked whether I feel at all sad when it's time to release the animals — to tell you the truth, I'm always pretty willing to let them go.All of my efforts have been toward allowing

them to return to the wild, and the wild is where they belong, so there's no reason for reluctance on my part.But it is true that sometimes there is no way for an animal to go back to the wild, or to keep it from bonding with humans.

Last year, I rescued a light­vented bulbul(白头鹎)．The bird, initially lacking feathers, recovered under our care.It was scheduled for release during its adolescent period, during which it's relatively easy to socialize.But an injury to its flight feathers delayed its return to the wild.The bird imprinted on humans during the following two months, which was a critical cognitive(认知的) development period, leading it to return to us after being released.

When we engage in wildlife rescue, we have to teach animals how to maintain a high degree of caution around humans.If they become too trusting of humans, it is very likely that way, our success depends not on the animals, or on our work here, but more so on the attitude humans would not be a bad thing, and our release attempt could then be successful.
