Recently， there have been many reports in newspapers and on TV about big animals
coming into towns and cities． There have been bears in Vancouver parks， leopards on the streets of Mumbai and wild pigs in gardens in Berlin．What happens when big animals come into our cities？
Wild animals usually come into cities to look for food． In Cape Town， South Africa， baboons sometimes eat fruit from gardens and go into people's kitchens and take food from fridges ! Baboons are strong animals that scare
children． Many people do not like them， but the city can be dangerous for baboons
too． Sometimes， baboons are hurt in car accidents and human food can kill them． The city council （议会）in Cape Town has a team of Baboon Monitors． Their job is to find baboons in the city and take them back to the
countryside． This makes the city safer for people and it is healthier for the baboons． The problem is that many baboons will come back to the city to look for food again．
In Berlin，Germany， groups of wild pigs sometimes come into the city to look for
food． Pigs have come into the city for hundreds of years， but since the winters are warmer， there are more pigs now than in the past． Pigs eat flowers and plants in gardens and parks in the
city． They also walk in the street and cause traffic accidents． Some people like the pigs and give them food． But the city council is worried about traffic accidents． They have told people not to give the pigs food and have put up fences （围栏）to stop the pigs from entering the city． In Moscow， Russia， there are about 35，000 wild dogs． They live in parks， markets and train stations． Some of the dogs were pets that people did not want so they left them on the streets． Others were born on the streets and
have always lived there． Some dogs live alone and others live in packs （成群）．A lot of people like them， and they give the dogs food and water． The winter in Moscow is very cold and people usually offer places for dogs to live in．
For many animals， cities are dangerous places and they need our help to return to the countryside．

\night !\． \， I failed today's math Lest． You're so thoughtless．\ \， Sherri， \． \I had to stay late at baseball practice． I called and told your dad． I guess you didn't get the message．\
Have you ever been really angry with one of your friends or family members for letting you down？ Everybody feels like this sometimes， but the key to controlling（控制）your anger is knowing what you are feeling and why， as well as understanding what you can do about it． Sherri was angry． But if she looked at her feelings， she'd understand that the person she was angry with was herself． It wasn't Taylor's job to make sure she studied for the math test； it was here．When she didn't do well in the test， she blamed （埋怨）her friend because that was easier than saying she had made a mistake． She thought she was angry at Taylor， but what she was really feeling was guilt（内疚）．
Learning to know you true feelings is the first step in knowing what to do with them． Once you understand your true feelings， it's time to work them out with some communication skills． Really listening to what the other person is saying is important， It's part of understanding how the person is feeling and what the problem actually is． To give your full attention， you can keep eye contact（接触） and ask questions if you don't understand．
Before you start talking， try doing a \， a skill that makes sure you understand what you've just heard． You can paraphrase the person's words to show that you are listening and that you are trying to understand his or her side of the story． For example， imagine if Taylor said，\， you are feeling really angry at me because I didn't show up last night and help you study for the math test． You didn't do well in it， and you think that it's my fault． Do you think that Sherri would have got so angry if she had realized that Taylor was truly listening to her？
Now， it's your turn to express your feelings， Start your sentences with \， This will let you express how someone's behavior makes you feel．Instead of \，\，\．\\， while \． It's important to realize that your lift will be full of cmotions However，understanding （情绪）．
what you are really feeling and then learning how to deal with it are even more important． 28. What is the first step to deal with your emotions？ ______
