Passage 1

In high school and college, you may travel or study abroad. Maybe you are too busy with your schoolwork, but you should think about this seriously, If you travel at a young age, you will learn more.

Travel can make us more confident. When we are young, most of us live with our mom and dad. Our neighbors know us well, too. We may be afraid to get out of this comfort zone.

But when you walk out and meet more people, you will become smarter and more confident.

Some people may think Spanish people are lazy. Few people know they really enjoy family time. To the Spanish people,it is more important to cat together as a family. So we can feel the differences between different cultures when we go to different places.

Passage 1

One day, a group of tourists from Australia climbed a large rock in the Central Park of New York City. They took pictures of one another with the high-rise buildings in the background. Like many other tourists, they didn't realize that high in a nearby tree, there was something more worthy of attention: an eagle-owl (雕鸮) named Flaco.

Earlier that month, the bird Flaco made his great escape from the Central Park Zoo. The zookeepers then tried several times to catch him but were unsuccessful. He seemed to be in no hurry to return to the zoo.

Olga Torrey,a photographer, has been photographing animals in city parks for 12 years. Since Flaco escaped, Torrey has kept a close eye on him. She wondered if he would ever return to the zoo. "Once he gets a taste of freedom , I'm not sure.."she said.

Still,each day spent outside puts Flaco in danger. He might accidentally hit windows and get injured while flying.Moreover, the eagle-owl lived his whole life in the zoo in the past. He may not be used to finding food on his own. And if he made a meal of a rat, it might harm his health-the rat might contain poison (含有毒物).

The zoo has had the workers carefully watch Flaco all the time, as they are worried about his safety. Has Flaco eaten anything today? Has he got injured today?

Well, another day of watching has now begun.
