environments mostly for entertainment purposesis fair and respectful? zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. however, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes. zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, 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 name, diet, and natural range. the animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs. the animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. this results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. a worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain. furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. captive breeding of endangered big cats, asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. in fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. havent we seen enough competitions to name baby animals? actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats.56. how would the author describe the animals life in zoos?a. unhappy b. easy c. dangerous d. natural57. in the state of zoochosis, animals _. a. remain in cages b. attack other animals c. behave strangelyd. enjoy moving around58. what does the author try to argue in the passage? a. zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.b. zoos fail in their attempt to save animals. c. zoos should treat animals as human beings.d. zoos are not worth the public support.59. the author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _. a. pointing out the faults in what zoos do b. using evidence he has collected at zoos c. questioning the way animals are protected d. discussing the advantages of natural habitats60. although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _. a. its acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats b. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos c. most animals in zoos are endangered speciesd. zoos have to keep animals in small cagesbpoetry writing classes onlineconsider it the caviar（鱼子酱）of literature: tiny

year long. it is called bronners christmas wonderland in frankenmuth, michigan. the family-owned business calls itself the worlds largest christmas store. the late wally bronner started the business in 1945.wayne bronner, wallys son, is president and ceo of what is now a multi-million dollar corporation. he learned the business from an early age. some of his best memories are traveling to other countries with his father to find new products for the store.bronners sells more than 50,000 holiday products from 70 nations. half of the products cost less than ten dollars. wayne bronner says the demand for small objects to hang on christmas trees has expanded over the years. people spend more time, effort and money into decorating their homes with these ornaments, lights and religious scenes. bronners is famous for its nativity scenes which show the birth of jesus christ.michigan has the nations highest unemployment rate. bronners has been affected by the recession, too. but not in reduced sales.wayne bronner said: “even though people are spending less, were having more people visit here. and as a result weve actually had a sales increase.” bronners success is also linked to community cooperation and investment. frankenmuth is a town of 5,000 people in eastern michigans farm country. the town was settled by bavarian germans in the 1800s. it has kept its traditions alive in buildings and restaurants. bavarian cultural themes and bronners huge store bring 3,000,000 visitors a year. the town is the most popular place for tourists in the state. bronners business is aimed at a single day of the year. but that is not too different from other businesses. “about half of our business is done in the last quarter of the year, in the last three months. and actually when you compare that with most retailers, that follows the same pattern.” wayne bronner says the familys long-term planning and willingness to reinvest profits has developed the company into what it is today. still, it does not hurt to build a business on a holiday which is celebrated worldwide. currently, about only two percent of sales are overseas. but wayne bronner sees room for growth, especially through the internet. 66. bronners christmas wonderland is probably_. a. a nationalized corporation b. a state-run business c. the worlds largest store d. a private business67. bronners mainly sells _. a. holiday prod
