Tang Zhou and his wife are planning to have their second child，a test—tube baby．His wife had a natural delivery when she was 34 and their first child，a boy, is now 7．The couple are now hoping to have a daughter through a surrogate mother(代孕)in the US．“My wife couldn’t bear another delivery because of her heart condition and her age．Surrogacy helps avoid the risks to older mothers，”Tang said，“Moreover, our second child will be born in the US and become a citizen there．That is not a bad choice．”
The couple spent weeks researching their move，looking for a reliable agency that provides surrogacy services overseas．Surrogacy is still illegal in many countries，including China．“We will be taking much higher risks by relying on a surrogate mother in China because we are not protected by any regulation or law．You pay a lot of money but may meet with many problems，”Tang said．“You might not even get your baby back．’’
Tang and his wife are part of an increasing number of Chinese couples who are turning to surrogacy services．Tang also considered surrogacy in Thailand but dropped the idea after recent reports about a baby with Down Syndrome(唐氏综合症)who was delivered through surrogacy and said to have been deserted in Thailand by the biological parents from Australia．Instead，Tang chose the California Surrogacy Center agency as his first option after reading the detailed introduction on its website．Compared with many other agencies that he could contact only via e．mail．the center has a consulting office in Beijing，Tang said．
The center is in San Diego，California，and has satellite offices in Los Angeles and Beijing．According to Liu，the center has been operating for more than eight years，and about 100 surrogate mothers live in California．

With more and more cars come into our families, we are happy that it has greatly improved our life. But unlucky, it has also brought many problems, such heavy traffic and traffic accidents.
Traffic safety is everybody’s business. We must obey the rules. For examples, we must walk on the sidewalks. When we cross zebra–crossing, stop and look right and left, and then go across fast. Don’t play the football on the road. Beside, we can tell our parents not to drink before we drive, not to run through red lights, not to use cell-phones while driven etc.
We can say cars are coming into our life, but only when everybody thought traffic safety is his or her business can we be safe driving on roads and walk on sidewalks.
It’s one way for a weasel (黄鼠狼) to get around: taking a ride on the back of a woodpecker (啄木鸟) . In fact, the picture shows the bird’s fight 1. life after the flesh-eating weasel jumped onto its back and attacked it. The extraordinary picture was taken by Martin Le-May, an amateur 2. (photograph) who was out walking with his wife in Hornchurch Country Park, Essex.
“As we walked we heard a painful noise and I saw the flash of green,” said Mr Le-May, 52. “We trained our telescope and it occurred that the woodpecker was 3. （natural） jumping about like it was standing 4. a hot surface. The bird was about 50m away from us and took off just as I lifted the camera up. Originally, I 5. (think) I was just taking 6. picture of a green woodpecker flying. Then I realized it had 7. on its back. Suddenly it was obvious it had a small creature on its back and this was a struggle for life.”
The bird was around two meters off the ground when Mr. Le-May caught it on camera. Happily, it managed 8. (shake) off the weasel and fly up into the trees.
The picture became a hot topic when it was circulated on social media, with some Twitter users 9. (say) it could not be real. 10. Matt Binstead, head keeper at the British Wildlife Centre, said: “You can tell it’s a real photograph”.
