From then on, in that garden, everyone understood how much could be achieved by working ．In the years to come, the balloon competitions were full of displays carried out by teams, and they put on some wonderful routines; something those individual insects could never have achieved on their own．

Perhaps because I was city kid, my exposure to wildlife was limited. That when I moved to the wooded hills of Oregon many years later. For the first time, I animal communities.
One evening, a nursing raccoon (浣熊) with four kids . She extended her tiny paw asking for some food. I was attracted by their cuteness, so I put out a serving of fresh cat food and water. She the next evening. And the next.
All was well until the wildlife began behaving . The raccoons started crying noisily. They could be throughout the entire valley. A few days later, our homeowners association (业主协会) newsletter arrived in the mail. Among the announcements of garage sales came a gentle reminder that feeding the wildlife was not a(n) thing to do.

“OK, I’m going to feeding the animals,” I said.

Another animal , I thought. Even well-intentioned neighborhood associations can’t control our human impulse (冲动) to with wild creatures and the natural world.
