This spring， the town of Oso saw twice the usual rainfall． When the sun finally shone， LoAnna and Kris's three older kids ran outside． Inside， LoAnna nursed their four﹣month﹣old Kristian． Suddenly LoAnna heard a loud noise． She rushed outside in time to see a half﹣mile﹣wide mud and sand thundering down the hill toward them， knocking over hundreds of trees．Mudslide（泥流）!
LoAnna gathered everyone into the bedroom farthest from the falling hillside and waited．
Kris got a call from LoAnna． He hurriedly drove home．
Highway 530 was covered with thick sand， fallen trees． Kris had to run home．
The mud came up to his knees． Suddenly he heard a woman screaming for help． He pulled through mud， over pieces of houses to the source of the cries．
At first， he saw an arm reaching up through the debris． There， a woman， buried under pieces of walls，furniture，and trees， was holding a baby． Finally， he freed the baby． By this time， other citizens had come．
After saving the woman， Kris moved on． He was still a mile from home． Ahead lay two fallen houses． He heard a moan． Stepping toward the house， Kris nearly killed himself in the mud． An older man was trapped in house debris． He was twice Kris's weight． He'd have to wait for more help．
Just then， Kris heard another man moaning from the second house． Kris pulled away some pieces of the house， but the man was buried too deeply for him．
Hearing helicopter（直升飞机） on the roof， Kris climbed up， met a member of the search﹣and﹣rescue team and led him to the first man． Then he headed back and kept digging until he could turn the second man over． After the rest of the team arrived， Kris moved on to find his family．
Kris finally reached home． It was flooded， but the mud had stopped just shy of the house． His truck was gone， as were LoAnna and the others． He checked cars and houses nearby for survivors， then ran to the command center．
Not long after he arrived， he saw his truck coming down the road． LoAnna jumped out．
Kris was praised by the Red Cross for his heroics．

The average French person sleeps almost nine hours every night, more than an hour longer than the average Japanese and Korean, who sleep the least in a survey.
And while more and more French people have meals at fast food restaurants, they still spend more than two hours a day eating.
That means their meals are twice as long as those of the average Mexican, who spends just over an hour a day on food.

My friend, Victor, is a zoo keeper in the National Zoo. His work is very interesting but it is hard. Sometimes it is dangerous, too. Every morning the zoo keepers have to get up at five to prepare the food for the animals. Each kind of animal is given special food. For example, the lions must be given meat; the deer must be given grass and leaves; and the parrots must be given fruit and nuts. Sometimes some animals won't let the others eat their food. If this happens, each of them must be fed separately(分离地) .
Every morning each cage must be washed by the zoo keepers. This can be dangerous, especially with lions and tigers. To make the work easier, the animals are locked in the sleeping compartments (隔间) while the cages are being washed. When the animals are sick, the zoo keepers must look after them. Each sick animal is kept in a separate cage and given medicine. Sometimes they must be given injections. It is not easy to inject（打针） a sick lion!
All the keepers live near the zoo. Each of them has a small house. There he lives with his family. They do not have holidays on Sundays and public holidays. Instead, each of them has a day off during the week. Each keeper has a holiday on a different day from that of the other keepers.
The most important job of the keepers is to look after the safety of the visitors. People must be prevented from doing dangerous things. Many people have been injured because they did careless things, like putting their hands into the lion's cage.What kind of food must be given to the animals like tigers, lions and bears?
