People often feel what they eat is normal, and what other people eat is strange or silly. In most part of Asia, for example, people like rice and meat. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a great deal of beer, and the French drink wine every day.The sort of meat people like to eat is also different from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese dont like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating uncooked fish.People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.（1）People often feel what others eat is _.

But animals kept in zoos never suffer from hunger.Thirdly, zoos protect the animals they take care of. They _ them safe places to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct (灭绝). But zoos give these animals a chance to live. There would be fewer kinds of animals in the world if there were no zoos.Zoos Are Unnatural -Philip BlackIn my opinion, zoos are not good for animals; they are only good for people.It is not natural and _ to keep wild animals in cages.
