his“wife”phyllis.the festival has received worldwide attention since the movie groundhog day came out in 1993.the comedy takes place in punxsutawney on this day.a television weather reporter is forced

the zoo in tulsa，oklahoma.i was afraid i just couldnt hide my excitement as it had been five years since i had been to the zoo.i was especially excited about getting to see the penguin exhibit that had been completed since my last visit.i thought it would be just as magical as it was the last time.the tulsa zoo is located on mohawk park，and covers 84 acres，making it the third largest zoo in the us.the zoo has several highlights，but i have to admit that i found myself rather disappointed.the maintenance is deeply lacking，and most of the exhibits，landscaping，etc.looked like it had not been updated or well kept.unfortunately，their polar bear died a short time ago.the strangest attraction was the missinginaction jaguar(美洲虎)we spent several minutes searching for the animal without any luck.in most cases the zoo was good about putting up a sign whether the animal was no longer there or was moved to a different location，but it was a different case with the jaguar and likewise the kangaroo.almost all of the handson equipment in the elephant encounter was broken and no longer working.although the zoo did put up signs as an apology，it continued to add to the feeling that the zoo is approaching death.the one exhibit that did not fail to impress were the african penguins.their habitat was well built.the lion，bear，and tiger were also easy to watch.a favorite among the kids was clearly the monkeys who were very active and eager to put on a show.the tropical rainforest did a very good job creating a special atmosphere.the cafe served very good food and had lovely indoor and outdoor areas for eating.they are currently redesigning the sea lion exhibit，so the sea lions were not available for viewing while we were there.all things considered，the tulsa zoo is still the best zoo in our area，but i would only award it three out of five stars.本文介绍了作者参观自己所在地区的一流动物园的经历及感受。4.seeing several highlights in the tulsa zoo，the author_.a.felt very excitedb.was a little frightenedc.was not satisfied with themd.thought it was worth seeing答案：c解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“the zoo has several highlights，but i have to admit that i found myself rather disappointed.”可知，答案为c项。5.why did the author think

the best zoo in the us.c.she thinks very poorly of it.d.it is a first class zoo in her area.答案：d解析：观点态度题。根据末段中的“all things considered.”可知答案。cwhen my family moved to america in 2010 from a small village in guangdong，china，we brought not only our luggage，but also our village rules，customs and culture.one of the rules is that young people should always respect elders.unluckily，this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the united states.i had a parttime job as a waiter in a chinese restaurant.one time，when i was serving food to a middleaged couple，the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly.i told her that i had made sure they got their food quickly because i always respect the elderly.as soon as i said that，her face showed great displeasure.my manager，who happened to hear what i said，took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive americans are and how they dislike the description“old”i then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife.after the couple heard my reason，they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences，so they laughed and were no longer angry.in my village in china，people are proud of being old.not so many people live to be seventy or eighty，and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience.young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.however，in the united states，people think“growing old”is a problem since“old”shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well.here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging，and women put on makeup，hoping to look young.when i told the couple in the restaurant that i respect the elderly，they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young.i had told them something they didnt want to hear.after that，i changed the way i had been with older people.it is not that i dont respect them any more；i still respect them，but now i dont show my feelings through words.by
