23、s they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animals name and where it came from.

24、os. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer? Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life.

34、on. Word of his questionable plan was already spreading through town as Mr. Milton swam out to the platform.

37、 like someone having a bad dream. When he was perhaps thirty feet above the water, he gave up on waving and spread his arms and legs wide, apparently hoping that it would somehow slow his fall. It didnt. He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour. The impact was so loud that it made birds fl

We can better understand this debate if we learn more about the U.N. and its history. Th

46、e U.N. was started for two reasons. First, when the idea was born, people all over the world were tired of war. They felt that there must be peaceful answers to the worlds problems. 17 The second reason was that modern science had developed new bombs and airplanes. 18 National borders were beginning

47、 to lose their meaning. Science would develop even more dangerous weapons in the future. Only an international organization would be able to control modern science. Franklin D. Roosevelt, U.S. President at the time, believed that the Allies (联盟 ) should plan for peace before the war ended. On Decemb

48、er 1, 1943, Roosevelt, Britains Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin from Soviet Union agreed to start an organization for world peace. 19 During the next year and a half, the idea of such an organisation was debated around the world.
