All horses to participate in the 2008 Olympic Games will have to go through quarantine before and after entering Hong Kong, the venue of the events.
The official in charge of the work said the purpose of the process is to ensure health for the horses.
The horses are subject to one-week quarantine in six quarantine centers located in North America, Europe and Oceania (Australia and New Zealand), according to an arrangement made between a Hong Kong agency, the International Equestrian Federation and the World Organization for Animal Health. Only those horses with health certificates are qualified for the competition.
Internationally recognized experts will make body temperature, blood and urine checkups to make sure the horses are not infected by any epidemic diseases.
After entering Hong Kong, the horses will again go through a 10-day quarantine to avoid contact with local horses and infection by any diseases. The Hong Kong authorities will provide each horse with a single shed. There are five stables, each containing over 50 such sheds. Medical services will be on hand for each stable. Serious cases can be treated at a Hong Kong horse hospital.
The participating horses are usually accompanied and taken care of by their own boys. However, Hong Kong is ready to provide such services if needed.
The horses, if in healthy condition, can conduct training at their respective stables during the quarantine period. In addition, they can take training for another week before participating in the Olympic competition.

Last weekend,I went to Beijing Wildlife Park to pay a vist .Never before in my life have i met some wild animals face to face.
What features this park is that wolves or lions are wandering around in nature while we humans can only stay inside the bus,watching those animals through iron bars.Of course for those good-tempered animals,including deer and monkeys ,we were allowed to play with them.And feeding them was fun to us ,as well. Much to our delight,we had the chance to watch splendid anlmal performance and visisted the educational exhibition of endangered animals which enhanced our awareness of wildlife protection.
We had a very good time this weekend.And everyone agrees that this park is a place definitely worth visiting again.

Dear Peter,
I have received your letter and I’m glad to explain to you the two-child policy in China.
The Chinese government recently plans to change the one-child policy into two-child policy, meaning that every family in China is allowed to have two children. Now my parents have made a decision to give birth to a second child, which worries me a great deal. Though it is good to have a brother or sister to grow up with, I have to share everything with him or her. Most importantly, what if the love from my parents is totally switched to the new child? As you have a younger sister, did you have similar problems? What’s your opinion about this?
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

我已收到你的来信，我很高兴向你解释这两个孩子的政策在中国。
中国政府最近计划改变独生子女政策为两个孩子的政策，这意味着在中国每一个家庭都是不允许有两个孩子。现在我父母已经决定生第二胎了，这让我很担心。虽然有一个兄弟或姐妹成长是好的，我必须与他或她分享一切。最重要的是，如果我父母的爱完全转移到新的孩子身上呢?因为你有一个妹妹，你有类似的问题吗?你对此有何看法?
希望早日得到你的答复。
你的，
李华
