party Horace Wells noticed that people didn t seem to feel pain when they were using this gas He decided to make an experiment on himself He asked a friend to help him Wells took some of the gas and his friend pulled out one of Well s teeth Wells felt no pain at all As he didn t know enough about laughing gas he gave a man less gas than he should have The man cried out with pain when his tooth

The animals lived in cages that were made of concrete 混凝土 with iron bars cages that were easy to keep clean Unfortunately for animals the cages were small and impossible to hide in The zoo environment was anything but natural Although the zoo keepers took good care of the animals and fed them well many of the animals did not thrive 茁壮成长 They behaved in strange ways and they often became ill In modern zoos people can see animals in more natural habitats 家园 The animal was given more freedom in large areas so that they can live as they would in nature Even the appearance of zoos has changed Trees and grass grow in the cages and streams of water flow through the areas that the animals live in There are few bars there is often only a deep ditch 沟渠 filled with water surrounding an area where several species of animals live together as they would naturally 注 本段文字很方便设计完形填空题目 可以让学生认真阅读熟悉其内容 Passage 3 Nowadays most people decide quite early what kind of work they would do When I was at
