The animals in zoos represent a wide range of species. Zoos help us learn about these creatures and motivate us to protect them. The 213 zoos approved by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) must meet high standards in their displays. These standards ensure that the animals are treated well. In fact, animals often live longer in zoos than they do in the wild. The AZA zoos also support more than 1,400 projects and programs in more than 80 countries. These programs help restore habitat, reduce the hunting of exotic animals, and rehabilitate injured one. Thus, zoos help animals survive in the wild, too. (click to see her conclusion)

Should We Have Zoos?

Lately, some people are questioning whether we should keep animals in zoos. They insist that we're doing this not to protect the animals but to make money from them. After all, more than 90 percent of the mammals in zoos were born there, not captured in the wild. Their only purpose in life is to entertain zoo visitors. Doesn't this mean we are using these animals to meet our own needs? Not at all! Zoos allow most people their only contact with exotic animals.

On Looking up by Chance at the Constellations

by Robert Frost

You'll wait a long, long time for anythin much To happen in heaven beyond the floats of cloud And the Northern Lights that run like tingling nerves. The sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch, Nor strike out fire from each other nor crash out loud. The planets seem to interfere in their curves But nothing ever happens, no harm is done. We may as well go patiently on with our life, And look elsewhere than to stars and moon and sun.

Revising for Clarity

Read question 1 first. Then read the selection and answer the question.

Make sure you've read the text first. If you haven't, exit, and then come back. You only get one chance to answer.
