the magazine BioIMed Cen,tral Public Health. It says that people who live closest to green areas in the
countryside walk and cycle less often for shor- ter time than other people.
" We found that there was either no relationship or only a small one between green space and physical
activity," said Maas."People with more green space walk and cycle less often in their spare time."
People with 20% of green space walked around 250 minutes each week during their spare time compared
to 180 minutes for those with 80% of green space.
"This may be because people in the countryside need to use their cars more to get to places such as shops,
schools and the doctor"s office," Maas said. Living near green space also makes no difference in whether
people met NHR (全身健民标准) to get 30 minutes of exercise daily, according to a survey (调查) of 5000
people across the Netherlands (荷兰). "
The study shows when you just look at how much green space people have,
it is not true people are just more physically active," Maas said."This study shows you don"t really need green
space."

Zoos Do a Good Job
It is good to keep animals in zoos. I know a lot of people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos.
However, I believe that zoos have many good points.
Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Without
zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.
Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned regularly.
In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. But animals kept
in zoos never go hungry.
Thirdly,zoos protect the animals. They offer them safety in danger of becoming extinct (灭绝). But zoos
give these animals a chance to live. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world.
Maria Smith
Zoos Are Unnatural
In Maria"s letter, she says that zoos are good for animals. I am afraid that zoos are not good for animals,
and they are only good for people.
It is unnatural (非自然的)and unfair to keep wild animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages. They
are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos, they can"t do this. This is why
the bears and tigers always look so sad.
Most cages are not very clean either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly. But this is not
natural. Wild animals are used to looking for their own food. We should treat animals in the same way that
we treat other people with respect.
Would anyone be happy if you don"t let him go out of his home? Would Maria like to have lots of people
standing outside her flat looking at her? No, she wouldn"t. And animals don"t like it either.

Reporter: What gave you the idea to make a trip around India on an elephant, Chris?
Chris: Well, it all started the idea two years ago when I was planning a trip to India. I visited a photo exhibition
of elephants and I realized that the only enjoyable way to make a trip around India was on an elephant.
Reporter: What did you do next?
Chris: I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant, I needed an elephant trained to carry people.
I didn"t know anything about elephants, so I asked an expert (专家) for help. He taught me how to ride an
elephant. He also helped me find an elephant.
Reporter: How long did it take to find a suitable elephant?
Chris: Not too long. I bought a female elephant called Tara for about 6, 000 dollars.
Reporter: Can you tell me about the journey?
Chris: Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later. We were going to Sonepur in northern India. There is
a big elephant market there and I could sell Tara easily. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles
an hour and Sonepur is more than 1, 200 km away. It took us 64 days to complete the journey.
Reporter: Did you have any problems on your journey?
Chris: Yes, a few. But nothing serious. On the third day, Tara hurt her foot. Btu that got better quickly. Also,
there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!
Reporter: What happened when you reached Sonepur?
Chris: My plan was to sell Tara. But I was very fond of her. I couldn"t take her back to Britain and I didn"t
want to sell her at the market. I happened to meet some people who wanted an elephant for their national park
in southern India. I knew that Tara would be safe with them, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say
goodbye.

"The Princess and the Frog" is a warm and enjoyable cartoon by Disney. It tells the story about a girl who
makes her dreams come true through hard work.

She knows that it is useless to wish on a star. She never sits in a castle waiting for a prince to come and save
her. Tiana"s plans for success go wrong when she meets a talking frog. The frog happens to be a prince named
Naveen. Hoping to become human again, Naveen regards Tiana as a princess by mistake. He tells her to kiss
him. Then something worse happens. Tiana turns into a frog, too. Together they look for a way to become
human again.
