Mary Buendia once spent a day in an airplane, looking for a cat．She didn't find it that day．The plane flew around all over the world for three weeks with the cat on board. She finally found it in the cargo hold and sent it home first-class．Another time, she found two suitcases full of birds from Turkey．But her strangest experience was when she pulled a snake out of a man's pants．
Mary Buendia is an animal health inspector at JFK Airport in New York．She takes care of all the animals that pass through the airport and checks that they are healthy．In the Animal Health Center, there are areas for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and fish. There is also an area for very big animals．The biggest they ever had was a black rhino．"It was no pro

blem," she says．
At the center, they receive all types of animals—monkeys, wild cats, poisonous spiders．It's impossible for one person to know about all of these, but there are 20 people working with Mary．Between them, they understand how to take care of the animals．She recently had to feed a group of toucans, which are rare birds．"Luckily," she says, "there is a supermarket nearby which is open 24 hours．I had to go at 2 a．m．to buy bananas．"
Mary often works at night． "It's quiet between 1 a．m． and 4 a．m．," she says, "because we don't have night flights． We try to give the animals a quiet night．" Mary clearly loves her job. "You never know what the day will bring," she says, and goes off to feed the birds．

Last year my sixth-grader daughter ,Elizabeth ,was forced to put up with science .Her education week after week ,contained mindless memorization of big words like “batholith” and “saprophyte” She learned by heart the achievements of famous scientists who did things like “improved nuclear fu-sion（核聚变） “—never mind that she hasn’t the least idea of what nuclear fusion means .Eliza—beth did very well (she’s good at memorizing things ).

During the years of depression(萧条), food and money were very hard to find and people had to trade things with each other.
One day I was   36   some potatoes from Mr Miller. I noticed a small poor boy hungrily   37   a full basket of   38   green peas. Then I was 39   to see that Mr Miller sold the boy a bag of peas   for just a marble (弹球).
Mrs Miller, who had been standing nearby,    40   and told me that Mr Miller loved to trade with the three boys in the village for peas, tomatoes, and other things 41   he didn’t really need any marbles. I left the stand, smiling to myself,   42   by this man.
Several years went by. One day I learned that Mr Miller had died. I took part in the funeral(葬礼), 43   three young men . They came over to Mrs Miller, hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke with her and moved on,   44   their eyes.
Our 45   came to meet Mrs Miller. I mentioned 46   she had told me about the 47 . She told me,“Those three young men above were the boys I told you about. They just told me   48 they appreciated the things Jim‘traded’with them. Now, at last, they came to pay their debt.”
“We’ve 49   had a great deal of the wealth in this world,” she added, “but right now, Jim would consider himself to be the 50   man.”
Then she gently lifted the   51   fingers of her husband. Resting underneath were three red marbles.
At that time I realized that we would not be 52    by our words, but by our kind 53 . It is said that it takes a minute to find a    54  person, an hour to appreciate him, a day to love him, but an entire life to 55   him.
