Last week， Class 1 went on a trip to London Zoo． They had a wild day out! Almost all the students found their favourite animals． The trip also gave Class 1 something else to talk about． They argued（争论） about whether（是否） zoos are cruel（残酷的）． The zoo animals are from all around the world． How can they all be comfortable？
Lucy， one of our reporters， was with Class 1 students and she interviewed Tom． Lucy： What 's your favorite animal， Tom？ Tom： Giraffes． Lucy： Why？ Tom： They look so strange! They have such long， long necks! And they have really long legs， too．
Lucy： They do look strange． How tall do they grow？
Tom： About 18 feet tall． They can run fast too， because their legs are so long． They can run up to 35 miles an hour．

Tom： NO， they don't eat any meat． They eat leaves． That's the only thing they eat． Lucy： Do giraffes live all over the world， too？ Tom： No， they don't． They live only in Africa．
Lucy： But Africa is a lot hotter than Europe! Don't you think it's cruel to bring giraffes over from Africa to Europe？ Don 't you think it's cruel to keep them in the zoo？

The Southern California （加利福尼亚州）wildfire started on Tuesday morning． By the end of the day， it covered 47 square miles． The fire changed the life in the area， causing hour-long traffic jams， and making the people leave their homes．
The fire travelled really fast． So the governor（州长）Jerry Brown acted quickly and sent a state of emergency（紧急情况） soon after the fire started． Usually the state of emergency comes much later， after a fire has caused serious problems over several days． The government ordered the evacuation of 34，000 homes and 87，000 people． When （疏散）one family failed to move away， firefighters went to protect their home． Six of the firefighters were once trapped by the fire．\，\．
The Southern California fire wasn't the only one burning in the state． The Clayton fire in Northern California， burned more than 175 buildings by the end of last week． Now， the firefighters have put out 40% of the fire and some evacuated people are able to return to their homes． But firefighters will have to go on fighting the fire， because many buildings are sill in danger．
Good news is that on Tuesday afternoon the police said they caught the man who set the
fire． He was Dam in Anthony Pashilk， a 40-year-old worker． The police believe he set fire in the state many times， including the Clayton fire．
Wednesday's weather will make fighting the Southern California fire difficult． Hot， dry conditions（条件） and strong wind may make the work even harder．
