Many of us stayed at home in January because of COVID﹣19，but a special mom and her two babies took a trip.They were driven a few miles from a breeding center in northeastern Argentina to a 1.7 million﹣acre nature reserve called Gran Ibera Park.There the three jaguars were released into the wild.
Their release was the first reintroduction of jaguars in that part of Argentina since the species（物种）almost died out there 70 years ago.Scientists hope they can turn things around for this important apex predator，meaning one that is on top of the food chain （链）.Only 200 to 300 jaguars remain in the country.
"That is the highest level of protection that can be given in Argentina，"says Sebastian Di Martino.He's the conservation director for Rewilding Argentina，which is one of the organizations helping to restore jaguar populations.
The jaguars' journey started in 2018 when the park was built in the Ibera Wetlands.Several thousand jaguars once lived there，along with other important species.But the jaguars' fur was valuable，so people hunted them.Then farmers cleared the land they lived on.With the jaguars gone，the ecosystem was out of balance.
"In the absence of this species，ecosystems stop working well and may even collapse，" Di Martino says. "The main prey （猎物） of the jaguar is the capybara and the caiman.They are very abundant because of the absence of the jaguar，which causes imbalances in the ecosystem."
The park was the first step to give jaguars a place to live.Then they needed to breed.A female named Mariua mated with a male jaguar from Brazil.Mariua then gave birth to the two baby jaguars.
It sounds simple，but the reality is more complicated.Di Martino said that jaguars born at breeding centers have to learn how to hunt and must not become used to humans.Otherwise，they will not have success in the wild.
The people who work at the breeding center stay out of sight.They use video cameras to watch the jaguars from several miles away."We provide live prey for them，without them realizing it comes from people，" Di Martino said.
Mariua wears a radio collar so researchers can track her and her babies，Karai and Pord. "So far，so good.She's been hunting capybaras and wild pigs and is raising her babies very well，" Di Martino says.

One wet，rainy April afternoon Miss O' Shay，the principal，sent for Nancy Lee to stop by her office as school closed.Pupils without umbrellas or raincoats crowded in doorways hoping to make it home between showers.Outside the skies were grey.Nancy Lee's thoughts were suddenly grey，too.
She did not think she had done anything wrong，yet that tight （紧的） little knot came in her throat just the same as she came near Miss O' Shay's door.Perhaps she had banged her locker too often and too hard.Perhaps the note in French she had written to Sallie halfway across the study hall just for fun had never got to Sallie but into Miss O' Shay's hands instead.
She knocked on Miss O' Shay's door.That familiarly solid and competent voice said， "Come in."
Miss O' Shay had a way of making you feel welcome，even if you came to be punished.
"Sit down，Nancy Lee Johnson，" said Miss O' Shay. "I have something to tell you." Nancy Lee sat down."But I must ask you to promise not to tell anyone yet."
"I won't，Miss O' Shay，" Nancy Lee said，wondering what on earth the principal had to say to her.
"You are about to graduate，" Miss O' Shay said. "And we shall miss you.You have been an excellent student，Nancy，and you will not be without honors （荣誉） on the senior list，as I am sure you know."
At that point there was a light knock on the door.Miss O' Shay called out， "Come in，" and Miss Dietrich entered."May I be part of this，too？" she asked，tall and smiling.
"Of course，" Miss O' Shay said."I was just telling Nancy Lee what we thought of her.But I hadn't got around to giving her the news.Perhaps，Miss Dietrich，you'd like to tell her yourself."
Miss Dietrich was always direct."Nancy Lee，" she said， "your picture has won the Artist Club scholarship."
The brown girl's eyes widened，her heart jumped，then her throat tightened again.She tried to smile，but instead tears came to her eyes.
"Dear Nancy Lee，"Miss O' Shay said， "we are so happy for you." The elderly white woman took her hand and shook it warmly while Miss Dietrich smiled with pride.
Nancy Lee must have danced all the way home.She never remembered quite how she got there through the rain.She hoped she had been calm.But certainly she hadn't stopped to tell anybody her secret on the way.Raindrops，smiles，and tears mingled on her brown face.She hoped her mother hadn't yet got home and that the house was empty.

The FA Cup
The FA Cup is a very special football competition.It is the oldest football competition in the world as it has been played since 1871.It is also famous for the number of football teams in England that enter.
More than 700 football teams take part in the competition every year.That is all of the teams from the four professional （职业的） leagues and hundreds of small non﹣professional clubs.These clubs come from small towns and villages from around England.
Because there are so many teams，it lasts for a very long time.The early games are only between the small teams.After six matches，the professional teams from the third and fourth league enter and then，two games later，the biggest clubs from the Premier League.
Often very small clubs will play against big teams.There have been many surprise results in the past many years.Teams from the fifth league have even won against teams from the Premier League，but a Premier League team does usually win the competition every year.However，there is always a chance of seeing a surprise result.As a result，people show great interest in the FA Cup.
It's amazing that the FA Cup has the power to change a football club，rewrite the past and shape the future.

Just the other day，I was in a bookshop and found a book named How to make friends with foreigners.As a Canadian living in China for a year，I was curious to see what kind of advice a Chinese writer giving on this matter.
One piece of advice really caught my attention and，I must say，made me feel quite angry.In the writer's opinion，foreigners are an"opportunity （机会）"to improve your oral English；whenever you see a foreigner，American or English，you should practise speaking English with him or her.If the foreigner doesn't want answer your questions，then he or she is a nude person who you wouldn't want to spend time with anyway.I think this advice is not only incorrect，but also may harm the relationship between Chinese and foreigners in China.
Like most other "Lao Wai" living in China，I know how lonely one can sometimes feel living in a culture different from our own familiar （熟悉的） ways.However，I simply accept as part of being here.So far my time in China has been rewarding.I have improved my Chinese language skills，learned about one of the fastest developing countries in the world today and made some very close Chinese friends.
However，I have also met many Chinese people who consider me only as an "opportunity" to improve their oral English.I have had people following me from town to my flat to trouble me to teach them English.I have had complete strangers throwing articles or speeches in my face，insisting that I help them with the English translation.I have had people asking me non﹣stop questions for half an hour at the weekly English Corner ...
Friendship for a lot of foreigners is about spending time with someone whose company （陪伴） they really enjoy.So if there is any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners，I would say that it is this：Treat foreigners as people，not opportunities.Expect to make friendships step by step，over a period of time，not in a rush. If your only reason for becoming friends with a foreigner is to improve your English，then you will probably find that you don't have a foreign friend for long.

A.his advice may make foreigners angry
B.it is rude of you to ask a foreigner questions
C.you should choose a good foreigner to practise English with
