When I was a little kid，one of my favorite things to do was going to the zoo.I have recently heard that there are debates（辯論） about whether elephants should live in zoos or not.My idea is that elephants should live in zoos for people to see.
Many experts say that elephants have a good life living in zoos.There are 78 zoos that exhibit（展覽） elephants.Most zoos are trying to make living conditions better for the elephants.They are doing things such as replacing（替代） hard floors with sand or dirt.This makes it easier for them to walk around.Zoos are also making their elephant house larger to give the large animals more room to go around.
Zoos also protect endangered animals.According to the World Wildlife Fund，in 2014 the total population of African elephants was around 700，000 and the Asian elephant population was about 32，000.So，the Asian elephants are in danger of dying out.Without zoos，they are all likely to disappear within our lifetime.The National Zoo plans to spend millions of dollars on a new Asian elephant habitats（棲息地）.That way，they can start their own groups.
Some people want zoos to cancel all of their elephant displays.National Zoo director John Berry says that visitors are allowed to feed and watch elephants closely.This encourages people to care about endangered animals.Once while I was visiting the zoo on a hot day，Big Ben，the largest elephant on display，walked up to me and gently squirted（噴） my face with water from his trunk.Everyone was amazed at what he did.That was a very nice thing for Big Ben to do.I'm sure that elephants are the nicest animals on earth.
I feel zoos should follow all the necessary steps to keep elephants in zoos.I would raise money at my school if I thought it would help to keep elephants in zoos.

2．One teacher praises a student by saying "You're so smart!" Another teacher says "You must have worked really hard at this!" Which student does better in school？Studies show that students who hear the words of the second teacher will do better.Those students are learning that their effort is important.
Psychologists（心理學(xué)家）looked at what students did after they were given different types of praise.Some students were told that they were good at a task.They didn't try very hard the next time.Other students were told that they had worked hard at a task.They worked even harder the next time.The first group of students was learning that they had a set amount of skill.They didn't think they could do any better.This is called a fixed mindset（思維模式）.The second group was learning that they could do better if they kept trying.This is called a growth mindset.People who have a growth mindset believe that the brain can grow；people can do better and learn new skills.If they work hard，they can be successful.
How can teachers and parents help students succeed？They can focus mainly on effort and not simply on ability.When students succeed，teachers and parents should praise the actual work rather than intelligence（智力）or talent.When students fail，they should be told how they can do better.Teachers，parents and students need to value effort，not intelligence.
