13、, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhoodWhen I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and si

14、ng. There isnt a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At fir

15、st, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.I had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day of the birds cap

16、tivity(囚禁) my new pets mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this.

17、or of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird

18、, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries.

21、rds from their mother.DBe careful about food you give to baby birds. CIn an effort to control the nations growing problem of food wastage, the South Korean government has started a new plan “Pay as You Trash”. Residents (居民) are required to separate their food waste from the rest of their trash and

22、throw it separately in a centralized (集中的) bin. And in order to access the bin, they actually need to pay by the kilo!As of now, the South Korean government has three methods in place to charge citizens for the food thrown away. One is through an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) card when users

23、 tap this card over a specially designed food waste bin, the lid will open. This waste is automatically weighed and recorded in the users account. The user needs to settle this bill on a monthly basis. The second billing method is through pre-paid garbage bags. For instance, in Seoul, a 10-liter gar

24、bage bag costs about $1.

25、yment systems. Even before the pay-by-weight system was introduced, South Koreans were still being charged for food waste the cost was simply divided equally among the residents of each apartment block. The new system is not only fair, but is also designed to make consumers really feel the pinch of

26、too much waste. The more food they throw out, the more they end up paying.Citizens like Seoul housewife Ms. Kwan are now adopting creative methods to avoid food waste. She makes sure to remove all the liquid out of leftover food before throwing it away. While preparing vegetables, she tries to make

31、t if you find a magical fountain, and drink its water, you will not age.Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process.
