Ⅱ 阅读理解。

In the zoo I can see tigers， elephants， monkeys， pandas， bears， dolphins （海豚）， giraffes and many other animals. Some animals are very friendly， but some are not. Tigers and bears are very dangerous. That is why they have to stay in cages （笼子）. But I don’t think it’s good for animals to stay in cages. They should be free. The animals in cages can’t be happy.

Tigers usually live in forests （森林） and mountains （高山）. They can run very fast. They catch and eat small animals like rabbits and deer， but now they live in small rooms. They have nothing to do every day. So they walk in the cages， and they want to get out. When they are tired， they sleep. I feel sorry for them.

I think the most interesting animals in the zoo are dolphins. I like watching them swim and jump. They swim fast and they jump very high. They can play with a ball. They can stand up and “walk” on water！ They are very friendly to people. If you fall into the water and you can’t swim， they may come up to help you.
