Trainee Keeper Day

A unique opportunity for your child (aged 12 to 16 years) to go behind the scenes at

Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens. Your child will get the chance to gain practical experience of

working with our varied animals and meet some of the keepers who look after them on a daily

basis. Your child will work with one keeper in a group of up to 4 children.

The Trainee Keeper Day will run from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm and will include activities such as

mucking out (打扫畜栏)and feeding some of the animals, as well as learning about techniques we

use to make sure our animals are kept well.

The cost per child is ￡160.00 and they will be given a certificate as a souvenir of their

fantastic day.

You will need to provide suitable weatherproof clothing suitable for wearing outdoors in

sometimes mucky conditions and strong footwear suitable for wearing in muddy conditions. We

will provide your child with other protective clothing he needs to use during the day, such as

special keeper vests and gloves.

Is it dangerous? Frankly speaking, working with any animal always carries a degree of risk,

but the participants will be fully informed of what they should and should not do in any

situation. Besides, they will be fully monitored at all times, and all necessary precautions will be

taken. So far, no accident has occurred to the participants.

second child of the family. Reese spent the first four years of her life in Wiesbaden, Germany,

where her father John Witherspoon served in the US Army Reserves. Shortly after, John moved

the family back to the United States, settling in Nashville, Tennessee.

Golden eagle populations in the UK are set to increase as some chicks are reintroduced to the

north of England. Ten birds will be released (释放) from south of Edinburgh in summer 2018,

with the hope of bringing the species back from disappearing in England. More eagles will be

released in the summertime of the next five years.

The project received £ 1.3 million of lottery funding in March and has now been awarded a

further £ 150,000 to employ workers to run the operation. Project manager Cat Barlow said: “This

is a really exciting time as the project is now starting to happen and we will soon start to see its

benefits. Work will start next summer, when we will collect a number of golden eagle chicks in the

Highlands and bring them south to be reared and released from an already selected place.”

The birds will be released with satellite tracking tags that will allow the scientists to gather

information about their behavior and find if they suddenly go offline.

Recently, golden eagles have died out in England as the last known individual is believed to

have died. Due to the popularity of shooting birds of prey (食肉猛禽), those birds in the wild

struggle to survive. Main causes of death are systematic poisoning, shooting and nest disturbance

by gamekeepers.

It is hoped that the newly released birds will move further south in search of new living areas

and food supplies. The project expects to see the number of wild birds in Scotland and England

increase as the range of the animals develops. While the birds were gone in England, in the

Highlands of Scotland the number of golden eagles rocketed with up to 500 breeding pairs, the

chicks will be sourced from here. It is hoped that golden eagles may finally return to the north of

England, and if all goes well, numbers should grow steadily.

8. Why will some golden eagles be set free from south of Edinburgh?

A. To keep the balance of nature. B. To encourage more birds to live in

the wild.

C. To bring back the number of other species. D. To prevent eagles from dying out.

9. Which word can replace the underlined word “reared” in Paragraph 2?

A. Sold. B. Stored.

C. Raised. D. Exhibited.

10. What does Paragraph 4 focus on?

A. Reasons for golden eagles’ dying out.

B. Why animal hunting should be forbidden.

C. Harmful effects of shooting birds

D. The difficult situation golden eagles face.

11. What is the author’s attitude towards the golden eagle project?

A. Ambiguous. B. Hopeful.

C. Sceptical. D. Cautious.

Piaget’s theory of cognitive (认知) development is a theory about the nature and

development of human intelligence. It was first created by the Swiss developmental psychologist
