16、Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats（栖息地）. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim（声称） to educate people and save

17、endangered species（物种）, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural range（分布区）. The animals normal behavior

18、is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zo

19、os found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages.

I got a taste of that dream in 2001. When m

26、y husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull.

28、 it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane.

29、 experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had even been in, but I wasnt frightened - I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before jay opened the parachute （降落
