Here is this year’s report on the Top Ten Cities of Animal Island by Best Living.Com



①Goosetown: Climbing up from last year’s second place, Goosetown comes in first for its lovely parks, cultural centers, and comfortable living space.
②Tigerville: Losing its top place to Goosetown, Tigerville is still a beautiful city, and as green as ever.
③Duckland: The only city staying in our top three for five years, Duckland is now cleaning itself up for next year’s Football World Cup.
④Oxtown: Not just a famous business city, Oxtown has turned itself into a garden city.
⑤Lionville: Famous for its culture and beautiful gardens, Lionville is the first city in the north to enter our top five.
⑥Sharkville: With winter sports as good as Oxtown’s, this exciting city is our second best pick in the east.
⑦Foxiand: This city with white beaches could rise higher in the rankings if there were fewer traffic problems.
⑧Goatville: Dropping two places, Goatville should now think more about parks than shopping centers.
⑨Turtleland: New in our top ten, this old fishing town is full of surprises.
⑩Cowtown: Dropping from number seven, Cowtown must clean up the air.

When you need to see a doctor, surely you will want to see a good one. But there is one important thing you may never have thought about: Has your doctor rested enough?

Doctors in our country often have to work 34 hours or longer without sleep. Most of them work 104 hours a week, and some even 150. (There are only 168 hours a week!) One report said that a doctor who works such long hours cannot think more clearly than a drunk driver. Another found that doctors who sleep 5.8 fewer hours than the week before might make 22% more serious mistakes. Surely no one wants to get in a car that is driven by a drunk driver. So, how safe would you feel when you are under the care of a tired doctor?

Sadly this problem has been around for a long time. There are no laws about it yet and hospital bosses don’t look like they care either. And that is why we doctors are asking you to join us on the street this Sunday. Fight together with us on the street so we can fight better for your life in the hospital.

Siena is an old city in the north of Italy. It began with a group of people living on its hills over 2,900 years ago. Around the year1 100, Siena became an important business center in Italy. In 1472, the first bank of the world was built in this city and has been doing business ever since.

Today Siena is famous for keeping itsold face.For example, its city walls, which helped keep the city safe in the past, are hundreds of years old now and look almost the same as before. Also, many old buildings are seen at the Piazza del Campo, the most important meeting place of the city. Few things have really changed in this center of public life for hundreds of years. Now people still go to the open space for sharing news, shopping, or playing sports. There is one more thing that helps keep Siena’s old face: cars cannot enter the city most of the time.

True, Siena is old, but it is beautifully old. People are welcome to visit this beautiful city and walk into the past.
