To make the work easier, the animals are locked in the sleeping compartments (隔间) while the cages are being washed. When the animals are sick, the zoo keepers must look after them. Each sick animal is kept in a separate cage and given medicine. Sometimes they must be given injections. It is not easy to inject a sick lion!All the keepers live near the zoo.

He is well known. This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was surprised when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colours that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number. Many of the umbrellas had notes(便条) which were fastened(系牢) to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter. ( )71.
