Dear Editor, My family and I recently visited the National Zoo. To our dismay, the animals were poorly fed and suffering from diseases.This situation could be avoided if they were given proper care and diet. Another issue is the hygiene of the zoo. From the cagesto the open areas,visitors and animals have to endure a filthy environment. This is a disgrace considering that we are making efforts to promote tourism'

Questions 26 - 3l are based on the following passage. (Helen, the writer, who lives in the United Statesof America, describes her friendship with a tiny hummingbird that she found.) The thrill of seeingthe first hummingbird in my gardenhas never left me - the sight of this unbelievably tiny creaturewith striking feathers flitting boldly from flower to flower. To attract other birds, I began growing their favourite plants. Soon, more hummingbirds before departing for countries began visiting my garden from May through late September, 5 with warmer climates. In 1998, the last one left on October 3 - or so I thought. On October 2l,I went outdoorsfor my early moming chores.Suddenly,I saw a young male hummingbird. I couldn't believe my eyesas I thought thesebirds shouldhave migtated by then. I quickly looked around the garden as hummingbirds usually need to feed once every ten to fifteen minutes and my garden was bare. This bird would have nothing to eat so I hung out a feeder containing liquid nectar.However, the bird didn't seemto know what 10 to do with it and kept circling a particular spot. Finally, I placed a trall of plants leading to my conservatory a specialroom where I grew my flowers. When the hummingbird came inside, I closed the door behind him to keep him safe and then set up another feeder. The bird went from flower to flower before he discovered the feeder. He liked the nectar 15 and fed on it for the rest of the day. Although I loved the idea of a hummingbird spending the winter in my conservatory I hesitatedto take away his freedom. But I also didn't want him to die. So I called an ornithologist, an expert on birds, for advice. He warned me that this bird was probably not going to live and gave me three choices:I could keep the bird all winter, or I could fatten him up and let him go after a few days, or I could find someoneto releasehim down south 20 that if the bird had nothing outsideto eat that day,the next where it was wanner. I reasoned day wouldn't be any better.And sendinghim south was not practical. However, I could provide suitable living conditions to keep him warm in my conservatory.I named him Squeak becauseof his constant squeakychirping. Offering Squeak a balanceddiet now becamemy main concern.Besides nectar,25 Nektar-Plus. hummingbirds need protein from insects.The ornithologist then suggested love to bathe, I kept two feedersof this complete diet going at all times. As hummingbirds I also bought a small plastic bird bath for Squeak.But he had different plans as bath time was always a gameto him. He would rather slide aroundon the wet leavesand get his entire body soaked.After bathing, he would fly around the room to dry himself. Once when 30 he became sick, I had to nurse him back to health. As winter turned to spring, we had strengthenedour friendship. Hoping that he would make my gardenhis territory I gave him a special treat.I filled a feederwith a particularly sweet solution and held it in my hand. After just one taste, Squeak loved it. He began watching for me and waiting eagerly by the door handle for this treat. By then, he would even 35 allow me to stroke him. I began to spendmore time with him.

In early May, the other hummingbirds returned and when Squeakspoffedthem outside, he becameexcited, chatteringand flying rapidly to and fro. One day, I saw him and another hummingbird hovering beak to beak with the window between them and I knew then what had to be done.As much as I loved having Squeak,I realisedthat I had to let him go. 40 That morning, as usual, Squeak had a shower after which I opened the door in the conservatory.I then coaxedhim with atreat in my hand. He came over for a sip, then flew back inside. He did it again and again. Each time I moved farther away and after much coaxing, he finally came all the way out to where I was. He took a drink, then inspected a plant hanging on the porch. Suddenly he lifted up, flew over the roof of the house- and 45 was gone. My eyes filled with tears. I was sorry for releasing him - yet I also knew it was for the best. (Adapted from Reader's Digest, T995)
