Spring lifts our spirits. It’s a time for Nature to bring us back to life after a cold season. I live not far from the Kairaku Park, which is one of the largest gardens in Japan, and famous for its near 10,000 plum trees. I am fortunate to have them all outside my backyard, and take advantage of the walking paths daily.
I see the same trees and swans every day, but that day was different. At the edge of the small lake, I saw some new- born black swans. They were pretty and cute. They stayed with their mum. While taking a few photos of the sunset, I was interrupted by a high sound going on for some time. So I turned around and saw one little swan was stuck by two stones. Its mother was trying to make it out but failed. I tried to get near but the mother was ever so angry! She wouldn’t allow me to get close, so I turned to an old man sitting on the bench and said, “Excuse me, the swan baby can’t move and I want to help it, but the mother is extremely angry! Could you please do me a favour?”
After hearing my words, the man smiled at me first and then agreed to help me. He drove the mother away with great efforts, and for several times, he was almost hurt by the mother. Thanks to him, I was able to get there and push the little swan out of the gap finally. Oh, I really hoped it wasn’t injured, but at least it was alive and swimming!
In spring, I become more physically active. Things around don’t make us, but Nature does, and it keeps us going. I am positive that all of us have a little piece of nature in our own neighbourhoods. Somewhere we will be reminded why natural life is so important because we grow with it! Personally, I am happy that baby birds can put a smile on my face! I struggle for having a small number of “things” in life, and being filled with simple reality—at one with Nature.

The zoo allows us to observe the wild animals without actually going to the wild places. It’s an enjoyable and educational experience for us, but is it the best environment for the animals?
A long time ago, people could only see wild animals as dead exhibits in a museum. Later, live animals were caught by explorers, brought home and put on show to the public and conditions of the animals were terrible. But modern zoos and wildlife parks have improved the conditions and environments for animals, making bigger places, removing bars, and, to some extent, making it closer to their natural habitats.
Some people have questioned the cruelty of keeping animals captive (关起来的) and using them just for entertainment, but zoos are glad to show they are here to help wildlife by educating us about protection. Well- managed zoos are now involved in supporting and funding (资助) protection programmes.
Probably the biggest claim from zoos today is that they help to protect species that are under threat in the wild due to climate change. Robert Young, Chair in Wildlife Protection at Salford University says, “There are quite a lot of different species around the planet which we wouldn’t have today if it wasn’t for zoos.” Some zoos have captive raising programmes which help to preserve the future of species that would otherwise die out. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently spoke highly of the protection work of Chester Zoo in the UK. It brought a “rare fish species back from the dead” after breeding and releasing a school of golden skiffia fish back into their native river.
While the debate about having zoos continues, new opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored, such as using virtual reality, and Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC, “Taking a walk through a herd of elephants in the Serengeti, I think, is going to be possible pretty soon.”
5. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. No dead wild animals can be seen in the museums now.
B. Modern zoos have provided natural habitats for wild animals.
C. The conditions for wild animals in zoos have been gradually improved.
D. The number of wild animals caught by explorers is growing all the time.
6. What does the underlined word “preserve” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Change. B. Protect.
C. Predict. D. Improve.
7. What is Leonardo DiCaprio’s attitude towards the work of Chester Zoo?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful.
C. Negative. D. Unclear.
8. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Why Do We Have Zoos?
B. The Conservation Efforts of Zoos
C. Should We Have Zoos?
D. The History and Development of Zoos

An Activity About Protecting Endangered Wildlife
Our school organised a campaign focusing on protecting endangered wildlife last week. The event aimed to raise awareness of protecting wildlife, and it received a great response from students.
The campaign consisted of various activities. Expert speakers gave informative talks about the urgency of protecting endangered species and the impact of conservation efforts. Art exhibitions showcased the beauty of wildlife and conveyed messages of protection.
Students enthusiastically participated in the activities, showing a great interest in wildlife conservation. They shared their knowledge about wildlife with others and encouraged everyone to take action. This campaign reminds us that we each have a role in protecting the environment and endangered wild species.
Together, let’s create a more beautiful future.
