  导读:Kevin喂养被弃的小狮子并将它们放回大自然,不仅是出于同情,更是为了保护野生动物。
  Kevin Richardson is an animal behaviorist. He has done something that not many people would dare to do. In an extraordinary video, taken by a GoPro camera, the so-called “lion whisperer” can be seen hugging and holding wild lions in his arms. He saved them as cubs when their mother didn’t take care of them.
  These big cats are really big now. They are 10 years old. But, even though they’ve spent so many years in the wilderness, they still give answers to Kevin’s voice and change into little cats when they see him. Of course, he did not make this video just for the purpose that you would be impressed. In cooperation with GoPro, he created this amazing footage, which is supposed to raise awareness to the possible extinction of wild lions in Africa.
  Anyhow, the video itself is unbelievably awesome and beautiful at the same time. So take your hats off to Kevin, the man who hugs wild lions and enjoy the video.

我又留在学校上晚自习了。  虽然不知道是什么时候出的规定说学生晚自习全凭自愿,你可以回家,可以去麦当劳,总之可以不留在学校,但我还是选择了大部分晚上在校看书做作业。并不是说教室的学习氛围有多么浓厚,只是我觉得在学校终归比在家里自由些——学习劳累之余,看看小说消遣的话,偌大的教室,老师不会专门盯上你一个人,也就可以不必完全提心吊胆。这是回家了就无法再享受的过程,爸妈很反对小说那种虚构的世界,我只能偷

取下你的帽子  黑龙江 赵荣霞 编译  有一个男人穿着昂贵的西装,戴着一顶棒球帽走进一座城市郊外的教堂。他刚刚坐下,门口的服侍人员就走过来,谨慎地对他做了自我介绍,然后说:“对不起,先生!我们这里不让戴帽子。”这位衣冠楚楚的先生点了点头,但是,他并没有摘下帽子。  几分钟后,一名教堂的管事人员走了过来,让他摘下帽子,他又点了点头。那位管事人员走开了,可他依然没有摘下帽子。  在做礼拜之前,牧师来
