Do you notice your cat is closing her eyes happily as you pet her Not only animals at home can communicate and speak to you, but wild animals also can.

Forty years ago, about 60 percent (百分比) of American kids walk to school. In 2009, only 13 percent of students walk to school. Today, the most popular way of going to school is in the family car.
“If children walk one day a week, it is good for health, traffic and the air.” Says Gabe Graff, program (项目) manager for Safe Routes to School. The program in the city of Portland hopes to increase (增加) the number of kids walking and biking to school. Gabe Graff visits five schools. He asks parents and students why they drive to school.
Ryan, a middle school student, lives only two miles from school. But he never walks, bikes or takes the bus. Instead, he goes to school in his mother’s car on her way to work. Ryan’s father picks him up in the afternoon. “It’s quick and easy to drive.” says Ryan. Like many students, Ryan gets out the car in front of the gate of the school. “Parents block (堵塞) the streets when dropping off or waiting for their kids. There are safe(安全的) problems. Now many schools in the city join our program, but we still have a lot of work to do.” Gabe says.
