    On a day in Arkansas, some fishermen saw a bear cub (幼兽) in a tree. As hours went by, its mother didn't return. So they called wildlife biologist (生物学家) Eastridge.

    The bear cub was sick and hungry, weighing only 5 pounds with his eyes not completely open. Eastridge called Lisa Stewart, who works at Appalachian Bear Rescue in Tennessee. Stewart always makes room for a new cub.

    She named the bear Miracle because she thought it was a miracle that he had survived! As soon as she could, she stopped having contact with the cub so he would not become too used to humans. When the cub arrived, Stewart cleaned his eyes and put him in a house alone. Since Miracle was already 5 months old, Stewart gave him bowls of food and another bowl of a special formula (配方奶) , similar to a bear mother's milk. Sometimes, Miracle would reach his head out of his house and take some formula or food. But he didn't eat too much.

    Miracle was too weak to be with other bears. So Stewart gave him a toy bear named Buddy. He took it into his house and covered it with straw (稻草). He fed Buddy, too. Stewart often found the toy covered in formula and berries and its ears full of apple chunks. Now that Miracle had Buddy, he came out of his house more often and wanted to eat.

    After two months, Stewart introduced Miracle to other bears so that they could learn from one another. She avoided any direct contact with Miracle and the other bears. Stewart wanted to make sure they stayed afraid of humans so they could go back into the wild again. She always hid behind a fence (栅栏) and threw food over the top secretly. The bears hunted for this food as they would soon do in the wild.

    Five months later, Rick Eastridge returned to pick up a healthy 90- pound Miracle and another bear from Arkansas named Rocky. Eastridge loaded the bears into boxes on his truck and transported them back to the wild. As soon as the bear boxes were opened, the two cubs ran to the woods- where they belonged.

    A mother goat is able to pick out her own baby from its voice alone by the time the kid is just five days old.

    Researchers from University of London played kids'bleatsto female goats and studied their responses. They were surprised to find that the animals were able to pick out their own kids' voices.

    "A mother and the kid rely a lot on smell to recognize one another and, in the wild, during the first week of their lives, the animals hide in grass and don't call much. It's a strategy they use to avoid enemies," Dr Elodie Briefer, who led the research, explained to BBC News. "The mother calls to the kids when she wants them to come and feed, so we expected that kids would recognize the mothers' voices." In fact, this was the case for deer, which also use this hiding strategy, although they do not belong to the same family of species as goats.

    She and her team recorded and played back young kids' calls to the female goats and recorded their responses. She explained, "Even when the calls came from kids that are five to six days old, we could see the mothers responding more to the voices of their own babies." Hearing the voices of their own kids, the females would look towards the speaker that the sound was coming from, moving around and calling in response.

    The scientists say that understanding how goats behave and communicate is very important. "This helps us understand just how smart these animals are," said Dr Briefer. "Farmers might be able to change their way to raise goats considering this natural behavior."

    Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illnesses. There are things you can do to keep your animals warm and safe.

    Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you're cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.

    If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelters. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelters of good quality. Keep an eye on your pets' water. Sometimes owners don't realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pets can't get anything to drink. Animals that don't have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.

Just sew the 20 by patches and produce a most beautiful flower on it, and that is the significance of life.

    The way people greet each other can be of great important. Proper greetings change depending where you're and whom you're greeting. Should you use a hug, a kiss and just a handshake? With so many differently social settings and relationships, one can sometimes get confusing about how to say "hello" for "goodbye". The main factor to consider is how well you know the person. The more closer you are to a person, the more intimate your greeting can be. Besides, even this is not always a reliable rule. There are different greetings between man and women. Remembering that if you are friendly and relaxed, you will get along good.
