3．Recently，there were two pieces of sad news.An old gorilla（大猩猩） called Sentai was seriously ill because some visitors fed it food.Another poor animal，a deer，died with 3.5 kilograms of plastic bags in her stomach.The two poor animals remind people of the most basic rule in a zoo again：Do not feed animals.
Visitors often throw food like peanuts and bread to animals.They think it's kind for them to feed the animals.However，it's not good for the animals and may cause them to become sick.
"Imagine if someone often gives your children snacks and sweets.Would your children have healthy food as usual？This act can lead children to ignore（忽視） the healthy food.This is the same to animals，" Zhang，an animal expert in Beijing，told the Global Times.
Poor Sentai's condition makes many people feel angry，and some people advise zoos to do more than just stop visitors when they feed animals.Some even advise the zoos to make a "blacklist" to keep those visitors out.However，it is very difficult for a zoo to do this job.A worker in Shanghai Zoo says that workers in the Zoo will correct people's mistakes and try to improve public awareness（意識(shí)） to stop this act.
Some people said that after hearing the news，they felt sorry for feeding animals at the Zoo.Others said the were surprised to find that their "kind acts" could actually harm the animals.
We human beings can express our feelings when we feel ill or uncomfortable，but this is impossible for animals.So it's important for visitors to protect the animals by not feeding them.

4．Today，we'll visit a place of strange and silent beauty.As beautiful as this place is，its name provides evidence of very real danger.We are exploring Death Valley National Park（死亡谷國(guó)家公園）.
Death Valley is a huge place.It extends more than 225 kilometers across the southern part of California into the neighboring state（州）of Nevada.Death Valley is a land of beautiful yet dangerous desert and mountains.There are mountains that reach more than 3，000 meters into the sky.
Much of Death Valley is flat and dry.In some areas the ground is nothing but salt.Nothing is able to grow in this salty ground.However，it would be wrong to think that nothing lives in Death Valley.The valley is full of life.Wild flowers grow very quickly after even a small amount of rain.Several kinds of birds live in Death Valley，as do mammals and reptiles.Many different snakes live there too.
The area got its name in 1849.That was the year after gold was discovered （發(fā)現(xiàn)）in California.Thousands of people from around the country traveled to the gold mining areas of the state.They were in a hurry to get there before other people did.One group trying to reach California decided to take a path called the Old Spanish Trail.By December they had reached Death Valley.But there was a lack（短缺）of water and there were too few plants for their work animals to eat.The people could not find a pass through the tall mountains to the west of the valley.Slowly，they began to suffer from a lack of food.To survive，they killed their work animals for food and began to walk out of the valley.As they left，a woman in the group looked back and said， "Goodbye，death valley." The name has never been changed.
Death Valley became a national park in 1994.More than one million people visit the park each year.
