Jim is an 8-year-old boy. One day, when he went to the countryside 【小题1】 his parents, he caught a beautiful bird in the woods. 【小题2】 his father tried very hard to persuade him to let it go, Jim still decided 【小题3】(keep) it.

After 【小题4】(come) back from the countryside, Jim bought 【小题5】 beautiful cage and kept the little bird in it. In order to make the bird happy, he fed it with nice food. He thought the bird lived 【小题6】(happy) with him because it didn’t have to try find food. 【小题7】, the bird didn’t look happy. It always looked out of the cage, staring at the sky. And it never sang.

One day, his father said to him, “You should let the bird go now. It would be much 【小题8】(good) for it to live in the woods than here. If you continue to keep it, it may die.” But Jim didn’t follow his father’s 【小题9】(suggest). The bird was still kept in the cage.

One morning, when Jim went to play with the bird as usual, he found that the bird 【小题10】(die). Jim was very sad and regretted not letting it go. But it was too late.

Over the past three decades, 【小题1】 81-year-old Chinese man has been operating by 【小题2】 (he) a small zoo hosting animals, most of which were saved off the streets or on the way to be killed.

The zoo on Phoenix Mountain Forest Park in Enshi, central Hubei Province, 【小题3】 (consider) as the “ world’s loneliest zoo ” as very few people visit it due to the fact 【小题4】 most of the animals are not healthy.

Luo Yingjun began keeping animals at home in the 1980s. After seeing wild animals with 【小题5】 (miss) limbs being kept in cages 【小题6】 sale at a food market, Luo bought them out of sympathy. He took them home in order 【小题7】 (give) them medical 【小题8】 (treat). He released those able to live on their own into the wild 【小题9】 continued to raise those that could not live 【小题10】 (independent).

The Caballero family from Tempe, Arizona were outside on their regularly scheduled walk with their dog Olive when they were joined by a baby gray fox. Now apparently, the fox 【小题1】 (mistake) Olive for her mother and started following them around the neighborhood.

The fox was about 20 centimeters 【小题2】 length and had a gray coat. They later found out that she was just 6 weeks old at that point. The tiny fox followed them home, 【小题3】 the sprinklers (洒水器) were on at that moment, so she ran to have a drink, which is when Rosalyn noticed how thirsty she was as she couldn’t stop drinking.

【小题4】 (consider) that the fox was far away from home and her mother, alone—something that is not 【小题5】 (type) of foxes, as they are pack animals—the family decided 【小题6】 would be best to get in touch with Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center for help.

They found a box and captured the baby fox so that she wouldn’t wander off into danger. They got the fox inside the box without touching her. Soon the fox 【小题7】 (bring) to the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center.

“She appears to be doing quite well. She was 【小题8】 little dehydrated (脱水) when we got her, but otherwise healthy. She was already eating solid food, so we have managed 【小题9】 (fatten) her up a bit in the short time she’s been at Southwest Wildlife.” The fox is now in good hands —being taken care of. They are hoping to bond Foxy with some of the other 【小题10】 (fox) that came to the center recently to return to the wild once they are strong enough.
