A kind man, Keith Walker, who was 53 years old, kept his own pitbull (斗牛犬) called Bravo at the W-Underdogs center (an animal shelter) overnight and was on his way to pick him up when he saw the flames on December 18.
He didn't just rescue his own pet, but he made sure that all the animals were safe. He said, "I was nervous at first and really scared to go in there with all that smoke. I am not going to lie." However, Keith suddenly remembered that his father once said humans had a duty to protect animals. So he said, " My dog is my best friend, and I wouldn't be here without him, so I knew I had to save all those other dogs."
Shelter founder Gracie Hamlin said that the shelter was left uninhabitable(不适宜居住的) by the fire, which was electrical. But luckily, they were about to move into a new place, so there was still somewhere for the animals to live.
She said, "Keith is my guardian angel. Even the firefighters didn't know how to handle the animals. They called Animal Control, but Keith was already in the building pulling out the cats and dogs until they were all safe."
Keith, who has been homeless since he was 13, has now been regarded as a hero after saving the six dogs and ten cats. Well-wishers have raised almost $40,000 for him on GoFundMe, a fundraising platform.
In a separate fundraiser for the shelter itself to rebuild after the fire, Gracie said, "Keith worked tirelessly to bring our animals to safety. Although he refused all offers of help, we are determined to contact him again. He is a vital part of our community and he should be appropriately rewarded for his selfless efforts."
In general, the riches of the natural world aren't spread evenly across the globe. Places like the tropical(热带的) Andes in South America are simply packed with unique species, many of which can't be found in any other places. Until recently, the main explanation for the biological riches concentrated in places like the Amazon Basin was that such places must be engines of biodiversity(生物多样性), with new species evolving(进化) at a faster rate than other parts of the world. But now, new research on bird evolution may turn that assumption on its head, instead supporting the idea that areas with fewer species actually tend to produce new species faster.
The researchers say these biodiversity "coldspots" are generally found in environments featuring freezing, dry and unstable conditions. Though the researchers found these locations with few bird species tend to produce new ones at high rates, they fail to accumulate many species because the unstable conditions frequently make the new life forms die out.
The more well-known "hotspots", by contrast, have accumulated their large numbers of species by being warm, hospitable and relatively stable. Indeed, the researchers found that the countless bird species that call the Amazon home tend to be older in evolutionary terms. "New species do form in places like the Amazon, just not as frequently as in the dry grasslands in the Andes," says Elizabeth, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Tennessee.
The researchers managed to collect 1,940 samples representing 1,287 of the 1,306 bird species from South America. Their analysis showed that the best predictor of whether an area would produce new species at a high rate was how many species lived there, rather than climate or geographic features like mountains. Species-rich areas tended to produce new species more slowly.
"Maybe bad environments generate new species more frequently because there's less competition and more available opportunities for new species," says Gustavo Bravo, a lead researcher.
The study's findings add new urgency to protect ecosystems that may look barren, but may actually be nature's hothouses for the evolution of new species.
When it comes to the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating(低估) what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing(诊断) illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom:2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. However, it's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely that robots will ever have empathy(同理心) and the ability to really connect with humans.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.
Teachers all over the world are leaving because they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not "Will robots replace teachers?" but "How can robots help teachers?" Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend on marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

One of my close friends named David, an expert rock climber, told me he wanted to do something special for my birthday. He 1 to take me up a famous rock climbing wall in Cathedral Peak in Yosemite Valley.
I had some rock climbing experiences in college and I was ready for a(n) 2. We drove to Tuolomne Meadows and hiked for two and a half hours. 3 we stood in front of a cliff. David pointed upward and said 4, "This is it. Get ready." I 5 and saw a steep white wall that was nearly vertical(垂直的), 2,000 feet from the base, where we were standing, to its 6. "Are you serious?" I asked, hoping he would tell me that he was just 7. When he began unpacking ropes, I knew his 8. Suddenly I had a sick feeling in the stomach.
I had to put on my climbing shoes and adjust my packs and my 9. David moved fast, like Spiderman. After fixing the rope, he secured himself and yelled down, "Okay! Climb!" Step by step, I made my way straight up. About 300 feet off the ground, I looked down. Then my legs began to 10. I looked up and 11I had 1,700 feet to go. I felt 12in the mid-air. I called out, "David! I can't do this!" He yelled to me, "That belief isn't going to get you up here!" He was right! That 13 belief would never get me up to the top. I had to 14 my belief. What belief would 15 me in getting up this ridiculous wall? I 16 a new belief: This is within my capability. Then I 17 felt much better. I began to climb easily. I made it! I finally 18 David.
Looking at a good view of Yosemite Valley with David atop a narrow platform of 2,000 feet above the ground, I was absolutely 19 that I had made it. I really realized how 20 right beliefs are!
It is reported that at present a city in Japan has a problem with graffiti(涂鸦). However, it is not the usual type of graffiti with paint from spray cans (use) to write on walls. It is graffiti in sand.
Officials in the city of Tottori are asking tourists to give up (write) messages and drawing pictures in the sand of its giant sand dunes (沙丘). The officials say the graffiti causes damage to the dunes, destroys the pleasure others get in looking at the sand.
More than 3,300 cases of "sand graffiti" (occur) at the tourist spot in the past decade. In January, two overseas tourists were ordered (erase) a 25-meter-long message that read "Happy Birthday Natalie".
The Tottori Sand Dunes are famous throughout Japan their natural beauty. They are the largest and longest sand dunes in the country and form part of scenic coastal park on the sea of Japan coast. The biggest dune is 50 meters high.
The local government wants to improve tourists' understanding of the (important) of the dunes. It will set up much (many) signs in English, Chinese and Korean asking people to respect the dunes. A spokesman said, "We are concerned about whether the rules are (complete) understood, and we want to continue to protect views of the beautiful sand dunes."

Half a year ago, I failed to pass the English exam and feel like giving it up. My English teacher had a talk patient with me. She helped me realize what important it is to learn it well. In addition, she told me my firm belief that I could make it. Her words were too inspiring that I decided to work hard at English because I strongly thought learning it well is must. Therefore, to practice English, I began to get up on the early morning. Every minute was made full use of to improving it. My efforts finally paid off, tired as I was at times. I succeeded in passing the last English exam and I have been mastered nearly two thousand English words in the past month.
