Dear Tom,You asked me why I like living in New Mexico. I like it 21______ it is so beautiful. We have mountains, mesas （平顶山），rivers, and forests.Mesa is the Spanish 22______ for a broad, flat-topped mountain.For 12 years, I have 23______ across the state several times a month, and I still find new places that take my breath away.24______ else do I like about living in New Mexico? I like the sunshine. We have over 300 25______ days a year, with deep blue skies. Because we are 7,000 feet above 26______ level and the weather is very dry,the air is very 27______ and the nights here are much colder than the days.The many days of sunshine are a very good thing for our state. Do you know that New Mexico 28______ more than 3,200 hours of sunlight every year? With that much sunlight, we are one of the sunniest states in the United States.Some people 29______ that if we could use the energy from all of the sunlight here, we could 30______ more than enough power for the whole United States!The weather in New Mexico is good for 31______ energy out of sunlight, but sometimes the lack of rain is a 32______ for people living here. Most of the state is desert, and there isn't enough water 33______ drinking, growing food, and other uses.Farming is very difficult here because of the water shortage （短缺）.There are many laws about water use in New Mexico so that everybody uses just enough. The 34______ for water increases as more and more new homes are built.So, as with all places, there are things that are wonderful and yet others that are 35______ about living in New Mexico. How about you? Do you like living where you are?Yours, Anna34.

CA zoo is a place where animals are kept and displayed （展示）to the public. Some people argue that a zoo need not be a place for animal display alone, and may also include raising animal species（物种） which are becoming less and less.Animal rights groups are divided on the matter of keeping animals in zoos—with some in favor of this practice, and others calling for a ban（禁令）.The most important reason that those in favor of this practice put forward is that it offers protection for animals. For those species which are fighting for their life, zoos are the best places where they get plenty of food, water and medical care when needed.Those who are against the practice argue that the idea of displaying animals to the publicn is itself a strong enough reason for banning. They further add that the practice of using animals for our own selfish gains cannot be a good reason under the excuse of protection. The treatment of animals iix these zoos is yet another big worry, with quite a few reports about ill-treatment（虐待）of animals once in a while.It's very difficult to come up with a clear idea on whether it is right to keep animals in zoos or not. It is true that the animals are protected in these places as they don't get into conflict with humans. But, at the same time, one has to admit that keeping them in zoos equals a disrespect for nature. These animals are born to live in the wild, and we should accept this fact.43.Some animal rights groups are in favor of the zoo because it can ______.
