Workers at the zoo care for hurt or sick（生病的）animals. At first this unusual place was not a zoo. It was called the Forked River Animal Care Center. The workers there took care of lost or unwanted cats and dogs.The change began in 1977 when a raccoon (浣熊) needed help. The workers cared for the animal. Finally it was better, but it could not care for itself. So people had to allow the raccoon to live at the center. After that, people began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there. So many animals were living at the center that it became more like a zoo. It was time for a new name.Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn.

Just as the eye sees light waves in the form of colors, the ear hears sound waves in the form of noises. The ear and the eye turn these different waves into signals that the brain (大脑) can make sense of.The ears and brain have an amazing ability to recognize (识别) particular sounds. For example, a mother often can tell when her baby is crying even if there are other crying babies in the same room. This is because the sound of her babys cry has special meaning to her and the brain has recorded its importance.The ability to recognize sounds improves with experiences. As the brain receives information about sounds from day to day, it stores the information in its memory. When the brain hears new sounds, it gives meaning to them based on the information already in the memory. This is why certain words or songs can make a person happy. Often it is not the words or songs themselves that cause this feeling. The sounds are connected with happy memories for that person.The brain is to decide where a sound is coming from. One ear is usually closer to the source (来源) of a sound than the other ear is. Sound waves are stronger when they reach the ear that is closer. They also reach the closer ear first. The brain recognizes these differences and uses them to decide the location of the source of the sound.30 . Which of the following shows the normal hearing process of a mother hearing her baby crying?a. The ears receive the sound waves.b. The mother recognizes her babys cry.c. The ears mm the sound waves into signals.d. The babys cry travels in the form of sound waves.e.
