Why? Because there was too little kennel space to keep them. Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR) is a charity that rescues and finds homes for unwanted dogs. Its a huge task and if this_had received more support last year, fewer dogs would have been put down.To support the efforts of HKDR, the Social Service Club held a fun festival last weekend. We hoped the festival would raise money and also raise peoples awareness of the point of abandoned pets, said Louise Wong, the club president.The club organized stalls_second-hand clothes, delicious homemade cupcakes and even the fashions to keep pet dogs warm in the winter. Although there were fewer stalls than last year,_items were sold. Louise explained that this was because prices were not set too high this year.The festival also_performances by the school choir and the hip hop group HK Boys. The crowd was extremely excited, and some members of the_said there was too much noise to hear the performers. Louise admitted that everyone would have been able to hear if there had been better sound equipment.The most interesting part of the day was the dance challenge, with contestants(选手) showing off some amazing moves. This year there were more contestants than last year. According to Louise, that was because the prizes, including G. E.M. concert tickets, were better._, this years fun festival was a big success. It raised far more money than last year: a record HK$12,000. And the festival also raised joy among the special guests some of our four legged friends from HKDR!16 . AteamBgroupCclubDorganization17 .

I am off.”And he rose towards the sky.Then the little kites paper stirred (微动).And he shook himself free for flight.First whirling (回旋) and scared, then bravery grown,Up up the rose through the air alone,While far below he could see the ground,And the boys like small ants moving round.22 .

Then place a long stemmed(长茎的)white carnation(康乃馨) in the coloured glass of water. Each day. Watch as the white carnation changes into the same colour as the food colouring. Children can see that plants drink water and where the water goes, and this is a favourite Earth Day activity for kids.Leaf collectionThis Earth Day project is fun and easy to do. First, take a walk in the field and children can collect lots of leaves. When collection is complete, kids can place the leaves in between two pages of white paper and then put them together to make a leaf book.Feed the birdsHere you will find an exciting Earth Day activity that helps animals, especially birds. Find or purchase a large pinecone(松果). Cover the pinecone with butter and bread. Hang the homemade bird feeder on a tree near a window and watch the birds come to have their dinner.Clean the parkThere are many organized events in towns and cities for clean-up activities on Earth Day. But if one is not offered in your town or city, you can do some clean-up just by yourself in the local park. A huge clean-up is not necessary; a little help goes a long way and the idea is to show kids that keeping public areas clean is everyones business.25 .

The cuckoo is an amazing bird. Most birds lay their eggs and look after them until their babies hatch out(孵出).Then they feed their babies until they are ready to leave the nest.Some birds are not such good parents. Cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and do not care for their own babies. They get other birds to act as the parents. The other birds are left with the work of bringing up the young cuckoos as well as their own babies!If the cuckoo egg hatches first, the baby cuckoo will often push the other eggs out of the nest so that it can get all the attention of its new mother. The young cuckoo sometimes even pushes the other babies out of the nest. The young cuckoo has a loud cry and is often bigger than the other baby birds. It will take all the food and the space in the nest.A cuckoo lays around 25 eggs each year in the nests of other birds. This means that many other birds spend all their time looking after young cuckoos instead of their own babies. Some birds have learned to recognize the cuckoos eggs and they push them out of their nests. But the cuckoos have also found ways of fooling the other birds. They can change their eggs to make them look just like the other birds own eggs.35 .
