A wild baby bison （野牛） at Yellowstone National Park had to be killed because of tourists．
The tourists thought that the baby bison looked cold．They put it in their car and drove to a park ranger （管理员） station．
A ranger described the action of the tourists as a"dangerous move"because adult bisons can look after their babies very well and they will attack （攻击） to protect their young．
Park rangers took the animal from the car and set it free．But，sadly，the baby was refused by its family because it had the smell from humans．

Many people expressed anger at both the tourists and the park．
The park said that they did not have the ability to care for a young bison．They also said that it is"not the task of the park to save animals"．

It's not just women who wear skirts. Men can wear them, too. In Scotland, men wear a kind of skirt called a kilt. The kilt is their national dress and an important part of their tradition (传统).
A kilt is a colored skirt reaching down to the knees(膝盖). It has checks (格子) on it with different colors, like red or blue. Each family in Scotland has its own colors.
How did the Scots start to wear kilts? There are many stories about it. One story is that the kilt was invented (发明) in the 1720s by an English factory owner, Thomas Rawlinson. Rawlinson had a lot of Scottish workers in his factory and he thought their clothing got in the way of their work. So he cut their long clothes into a shorter skirt.
Today, most Scotsmen see kilts as formal(正式)dresses. They usually only wear them at weddings or big dinners. There are only a few men who still wear a kilt every day. Scots also wear kilts in parades when they play their traditional musical instrument(乐器): bagpipes (风笛). The army still has kilts as the dress uniform (制服), but they no longer wear them to fight (打仗). A kilt is ____.

Dear Mary :
Thank you for your last letter. I’m happy to know that you will spend your holiday in Hawaii(夏威夷)this summer .You said you wanted to know something about Hawaii.
Hawaii has always been a magic name to people who like travelling because of the scenery(景色) .People from all over the world dream of seeing the beautiful islands. It’s always one of their dreams to watch the sun going down. At weekends , my family and I often watch the sunset at the seaside. It’s really exciting.
Hawaii is a fun place to go. Long long ago, the first people went to Hawaii in a small boat . They found the place quite beautiful. But it was difficult for travelers to go to Hawaii at that time. And there were no big hotels like the ones today. Now things have changed. Lots of nice big hotels have been built in recent years. However, the nice view in Hawaii hasn’t changed much. In the morning , many tourists often take a walk along the water in. At night , they get together to hold parties, chatting and dancing.
Now , you see Hawaii is really a good place to visit. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours
Kate
