Zoo Atlanta, known as the Atlanta Zoo in the past, is home for more than 200 kinds of animals, it has giraffes, red pandas, tigers, African elephants, birds and many other animals. If you want to have fun, you can go rock climbing and horse riding there. The Atlanta Zoo was first built in 1889, when a traveling circus broke down(破产) outside of Atlanta on its way to Marietta, Geogia. Workers sold the circus animals, including a tiger, a black bear, a gazelle and a few pigs. A businessman bought these animals and then gave them to the city of Atlanta, which kept them in Grant Park. Then other people sent more animals to the zoo. And the city of Atlanta bought more animals in the 1900s and 1910s. However, by the early 1910s, many of its shows were out of style and fewer and fewer people went there later. In 1985, one organization took the zoo as theirs and changed the zoo’s name into Zoo Atlanta. Form then on, the zoo became popular again.
Zoo Atlanta opens e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )very day except two holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The zoo opens at 9:30 a.m. on weekends while 10:00 a.m. on weekdays.

What do people do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish.
At last, some compa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony agreed to help recycle old Sony product. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.
In some countries, l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aws are being passed, puter companies will have to collect and recycle their old products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay for it. That will encourage them to make computers that are cheaper to repair and upgrade.
But while many people are throwing away good computers, others can’t afford them at all. Thousands of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers.
The computers then are given away to schools, charities and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into other people’s useful things and cut down the waste.
