But there are serious4 in big cities, too. The cost of living is5, and there are too many people in some places of the big cities. Every year many people come to the cities because they think they can find jobs there6, study at good schools, and receive good medical care. But7 these people can't find jobs or good places to live in. Also too many people in a city make it8 to stop heavy traffic. And it's not easy to keep it9 and clean. For example, the smog pollution is very serious in some big cities.

Some people enjoy living in big cities, but others do not.10 people move to a big city, they should think about the problems of living there.

The young man remembered these words and began his trip. He walked for a long time carefully and found no beasts were out there. He thought his family's worries were unnecessary. And he became relaxed as he walked. Just at that moment, he saw a fierce (凶猛的) tiger running to him and he climbed onto a tree nearby at once.

The tiger roared (咆哮) around the tree and even jumped to reach the man. The young man was too afraid to hold the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger. Full of fear, he had to hold the tiger tightly (紧紧地). The tiger thought that must be a big beast. So it was afraid and started running madly.

People on the road didn't know what happened and said, "Look at the young man. He is riding a tiger." "Cool!" "Superman!"

Hearing these words, the young man was very angry. "Why can't they see I'm suffering (受苦) a lot? Don't they understand I am in fear and almost scared to death (死)?" He said to himself.

②When the cat is happy and pleased, how does she show it? She purrs (发出呼噜声), and this is her way of saying. "I am quite happy now." If she is unhappy, or in pain, or hungry, she mews. If she is angry, she sets up her back and moves her tail from side to side. If she is treated (对待) in a way she does not like, her tail goes straight up in the air, and she walks out of the room.

③If your dog is pleased, he puts back his ears, waves his tail, and seems to smile. If he is angry, he growls (咆哮), shows his teeth, puts up his tail and the hair along his back and neck, walks around slowly, and makes himself look very fierce (凶猛). This is the dog's way of saying. "I am mad, I have a mind to bite you."

④When a hen sees a dog coming near her chickens, have you not noticed how she waves her wings, raises her tail, and rushes to the dog? This is her way of saying "Be off, or I will peck (啄) you with my hard beak (喙)." If she sees a hawk, she makes a strange noise, and her chickens at once run away and hide themselves. They understand their mother to say "Quick, get out of sight, dears! There is danger near." When she finds some nice food, she makes another kind of noise. The chickens know quite well what it means, and run at once to share the food their mother has found for them.

⑤In such ways as these, animals make themselves understood almost as well as if they could talk like humans. They tell their feelings to one another by acts and by sounds just as we do by words.

_________. When he was around 4 or 5, he always loved to watch different insects, especially beautiful swallowtails(凤蝶). One interesting fact he learned about swallowtails was that their bright colors warned hungry animals that they tasted bad. And it was also fun to watch how they came into being. But the reason he really fell in love with them was that they were very accessible. For example, if you wanted to attract (吸引) swallowtails, you planted some zinnias, a kind of bright flowers.

Bert started a zinnia garden at his house, where he raised a large number of swallowtails over the years. With the world's swallowtail population falling, Bert wanted people to realize that if insects like swallowtails disappeared, so would all the others above them on the food chain. To make the fact clear and easy to understand for other students, he also created a zinnia garden at his junior high school.

Part of the joy for Bert was watching the younger students get excited when running after swallowtails. "Whenever a swallowtail lands on them, the young students will soon fall in love with these cute insects. They develop a new appreciation for them," he said.

Bert put his efforts into the environmental educational project and made it take flight.
