Farah was on her parents' farm in Malaysia. She heard a funny noise and went to look. She found a baby orangutan (猩猩). It was lonely and scared. Farah went to tell her parents.
“There’s an orangutan sanctuary (庇护地) ten miles from here,” said Dad. “We should call them.”
“Good idea,” said Mom. “I’ll call them now.”
“He looks hungry,” said Dad. “I’ll get him a banana.”
“He needs a name,” said Farah. “I’ll call him Coco.”
A team from the sanctuary arrived quickly.
“Why does Coco have to go to the sanctuary?” asked Farah.
“Orangutans are in danger in their habitat (栖息地) because there are logging sites (伐木点), big farms and illegal (非法的) hunters,” said the sanctuary assistant. “Coco is very young. At the sanctuary, he can grow up safely.”
“What happens at the sanctuary?” asked Farah.
“Well, Coco looks healthy, but tomorrow the vets (兽医) are going to do a check‑up and they’re going to give him vaccinations (疫苗). The day after tomorrow, we’re going to send him to the orangutan school at the sanctuary!”
“Orangutan school!” said Farah. “What’s that?”
The sanctuary assistant smiled. “Orangutans usually stay with their mothers for six years. They learn how to live in the jungle. At the sanctuary, they learn from each other. Next week, the team is going to give Coco a buddy—an older orangutan who can teach him. He needs to learn how to find food and where to sleep.”
“Orangutan school sounds fun!” said Farah.
“We’re going to keep Coco at the sanctuary for a while. You can be a volunteer and help out.”
Farah smiled, “I’d like that. I’ll come and visit Coco! I can’t wait!”

阅读下面短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Some bright sparks (火花) light up the night sky, creating a fantastic rain of flowers. This exciting performance is Striking Iron Flower (打铁花). It is a traditional folk art form, and it has been around for more than 1,000 years in China. It is deeply rooted (根植) in traditional Chinese culture.
Striking Iron Flower usually takes place during important festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival. People get together to watch this wonderful performance. The blooming (盛放的) sparks are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.
Striking Iron Flower is a highly skilled performance. To begin with, the performers put waste iron in a big oven. Then, they heat the iron at a very high temperature until it becomes liquid (液体). Finally, they use special tools to splash (泼洒) the liquid iron into the air. When the liquid iron meets the cold air, it will turn into beautiful sparks. A performer needs to have strong arms, good skills and a lot of courage. It shows the creativity of Chinese working people.
In order to keep traditional Chinese culture alive, we should protect and pass down this traditional art. Nowadays, more and more young people are getting interested in it and learning about the skills. They hope to carry forward this special art form and let it shine in the future.
