19．①In our lives，we sometimes say or do something that may hurt others．Then we need to apologize （道歉）．Making an apology helps to improve an injured friendship．
   ②We are already familiar with some expressions for apologizing，such as"Excuse me"or
I'm sorry"．There are also other ways to apologize，such as"Pardon"and"I apologize"．When you have missed your have missed your friend's party，you might say，"I was really busy that day and just couldn't make it．I sincerely apologize．"When you get angry with someone and realize you are wrong，you may say，"I am sorry．I apologize for my poor attitude．"
   ③When a person apologizes to you，it is necessary to reply politely，"It's all right，"or"Never mind．"If the situation is necessary to reply politely，"It's all right，"or"Never mind．"If the situation is more serious and the person is really sincere，you might say，"I understand how you feel，"or"We all make mistakes．"
Sometimes people apologize not for having done something wrong，but for the inconvenience they have caused．On the building under repair you may see sins reading，"We are rebuilding our store to serve you better．Please pardon our dust．"In the supermarket you may hear a salesperson say，"I'm sorry it has been sold out today．Would you please come tomorrow？"
⑤People sometimes are embarrassed to make an apology，because they do not want to lose face．Yet there are ways to make an"indirect apology"．Making an apology on the phone is not a direct or very personal way of apologizing，but it is sometimes the best choice．If one is not so familiar with the other and they might feel there is a chance of unpleasantness，some"distance"is often safer and understandable．
Learning how to apologize is important in our life．We don't lose face when we apologize．Instead，we'd lose face if we never say sorry for our mistakes．

    Foxglove is a common plant．People have used it to make the heart slow down．Recently scientists have developed another drug from it．This new drug helps prevent other heart problems．
    In some areas，malaria has been a problem．Scientists have learned that the bark of a South American tree，the cinchona，can be made into a drug to prevent malaria．For a long time，the Chinese have known that a special plant，wormwood，can also fight malaria．Scientists have been working with it to develop new drugs against malaria．
    In Germany，some scientists studied garlic （大蒜） for four years．They found that it helps prevent the build-up of plaque （血小板） because too much plaque is bad for health．This very common plant continues to be studied．
As we know，there are about 250，000 kinds of flowering plants in the world．Scientists have only studied little more than one percent of plants for their medicinal value．Maybe medicines for AIDS and cancer will be made f rom the other 99 percent．

14．Zoos are places where different kinds of animals are kept and shown for the public．At most modern zoos people can see，smell and hear animals in their natural way．Some zoos even have"friendship farms"where people can touch some of the animals．Here are four reasons why people need zoos．
    Firstly．zoos educate people a bout animals and their natural environment．They give interesting information about each animal，such as where it comes from and how it lives．Special teachers at the zoo help children understand more about the animals．Trained guides show visitors around the zoo．
    Secondly．zoos are working hard to find out more about animals．New knowledge leads to improved ways of looking after animals in the zoo，and better understanding of the same animals in the wild．
    Thirdly．zoos play a part in protecting animals and stopping them from disappearing．Zoos work together with each other to help the animals in danger．For example，gorillas （大猩猩） from Taronga Zoo were sent to live with gorillas at the Melbourne Zoo in the hope that they would give birth to babies．
    Finally．zoos are important for people's enjoyment．People enjoy getting close to animals without having to cross the plains （平原） of Africa or climb the mountains of China．In the past，animal shows were common in zoos．Visitors were excited by monkeys in human clothes，and the y even took rides on elephants or horses．However，today people prefer to see animals behaving naturally．
    So a modern zoo is a place where animals are well eared for．
