It's often said that animals are
our friends.This story happened to
Brantley Harrison and her family.
Living in South Carolina,the Harrisons often
take care of the injured animals and send them
back into the wild(荒野)when they feel better.
It's not easy to meet these animals again.
One October,.a rescue(救援)group found
a 4-week-old injured squirrel and took her in and
then placed her with Brantley and her family.The
Harrisons named the squirrel Bella.The little
squirrel,with three other ones,all lived together
in a little“house”outside Brantley's home.
They stayed in there until spring.In April of
the next year,the Harrisons sent the squirrels
back into the wild.The other squirrels soon
went back to the wild life.But Bella didn't.
The squirrel wasn't ready to leave her human
family.
"Bella usually sits at the front door,
waiting for someone to notice her,"Brantley
said.Her husband John often brought Bella
food,as she was usually waiting by the door for
him.Bella became a member of the family.

What will you do when you feel upset?
Hug a tree?Recently,many Chinese young
people have turned to trees to help with their
stress.Although it sounds strange,in fact,
there's a science behind the act of tree-hugging.
Scientists say humans are born to love
being around nature.Humans'love for nature is
“in our DNA”.This idea helps to explain why
people like natural,green views better than city
views.It's also one of the reasons why people
love cute pets.
Some studies have looked into why
Unit 4 Amazing Plants and Animals
hugging trees can help with our health.A
study reported that the activity can make more
oxytocin which can help you feel happy.The
higher it is,the quieter and happier you may be.
When you hug a tree for only 21 seconds,your
brain makes more oxytocin.
Another thing called cortisol(皮质醇)isa
marker of stress.The brain makes more cortisol
when the person is worried,angry,or very sad.
Hugging trees helps cut down cortisol in our
brain,which makes us less stressed out and feel
calmer and more relaxed.
Although the activity is helpful to us,it's
important to keep in mind that we shouldn't
damage nature while doing it.Trees often hold
many things that are good for the environment.
Many small creatures((生物)live on the tree like
spiders.They're too small to notice.You'd better
be nice and gentle when hugging trees-just like
how you hug a friend!
21.Why do humans like natural views better
than city views?
A.Because natural views are more beautiful
than city views.
B.Because city views help to improve
humans'health.
C.Because humans naturally love being in
nature.
D.Because city views bring humans too
much stress.
22.What can we know about oxytocin from the
study?
A.Oxytocin helps to lower our stress quickly.
B.Cutting down oxytocin makes us feel
happier.

Great news!Pandas are no longer in danger.
They are on the road of recovery(恢复).Back in
the 1980s,there were as few as 1,114 pandas in
China.According to the recent survey,there are
about 1,900 pandas living in the wild.
Since 1981,the Chinese government has
been working with World Wildlife Fund(WWF)
to save the world's most famous bears and their
homes.They set up nature parks which help
protect nearly 1,300 wild pandas by giving
them space to live and bamboo to eat.But the
bamboo forests are getting smaller,so pandas
50
are still losing their homes.The WWF warned
that climate(气候)change could also destroy
(毁掉)more than35%of the animals'homes,,
so there won't enough places to live for them in
the next years.The future for pandas in the long
term is not yet clear.But one thing is for sure:
we must do more efforts(努力)to protect our
lovely pandas.

Saving the Wild Animals in Danger
Hello,everyone!I'm glad to say
something about protecting animals.
Now a growing number of wild animals
are dying out every year.More and more
wild animals are in great danger for many
reasons.Air and water are polluted so that
the environments which animals live in are
destroyed.Besides,since many trees are cut
down,many animals lose their homes and they
don't have enough food to eat.What's worse,
many animals are killed for money
As we know,animals are our friends.To
protect them is to protect ourselves.If everyone
gives a little love,it will make a big difference
to wild animals.Let's take action right now.
That's all.Thank you.
