Port Lympne Rerve, which runs a breeding（繁育）programme, has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf（犀牛幼崽）.When the tiny creature arrived on January 31, she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the rerve. And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity（圈养）.
Paul Beer, head of rhino ction at Port Lympne, said: “Obviously we’re all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family. She’s healthy, strong and already eager to play and explore. Her mother, Solio, is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job. It’s still a little too cold for them to go out into the open, but as soon as the weather warms up, I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”
The adorable female calf is the cond black rhino born this year at the rerve, but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32kg.His mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the rerve and still live there.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5500, giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.

They were a happy family：four daughters were all in the same school in different grades. The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, emed to be glued to her mother’s skirts. The three older girls took the bus to school every morning, but Janice was always driven to school by her mother.
One Friday, Janice’s mother asked for a talk with me. She said in a soft voice, “My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with him. I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine without me so I have no choice：I have to go. I have told the babysitter to drive her every morning. Will you plea give Janice special attention and help her? I want to be sure everything goes well for her.”
I told her that we would make every effort to support Janice. I even volunteered to meet Janice at her car so she would e a familiar face. As a mother mylf, I'd like to help. Janice’s mother thanked me for my understanding.

While she is away, I’ll just ride the bus every day. I am five, you

There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life.
Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment to a particular occupation, branch of study or rearch. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing levels
of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.
Some people em willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a n of freedom. The specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion （排除）of others can hold back your true spirit.
Generalists ,on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective （视角）into specific fields of experti（专长）.The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.
Things are connected. Let your experti in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited veral history books. She has decided to study Chine history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chine philosophy. “I don’t know where it will lead, but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit.”
The expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to e the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourlves and the univer. Develop broad, general knowledge and experience. The univer is all yours to explore and enjoy.
