He was also lonely because he was much younger than his classmates. Therefore, he decided to join the rowing team and became interested in classical music and science fiction. His sense of humor soon made him one of the most popular students on campus.

The Rhino Rescue Project has an out-of-the-box solution to this out-of-control problem. They put dye into rhinos' horns, which makes them useless for medicine or decorations. This dye does not hurt the rhinos in any way and lasts up to four years, or one full growth cycle of the horns. Also, the Rhino Rescue Project puts microchips in the horns. This way, they know where the rhinos are and what happens to their horns.

犀牛救援計畫小組對這個失控的問題目前有一個打破常規的解決方式。他們將染料打入犀牛角裡面，這種染料會使牛角無法用來當藥材或是裝飾品。這種染料不會對犀牛造成任何方面的傷害，並能維持長達四年，或者是牛角的一整個生長週期。犀牛救援計畫小組也將微型晶片置入犀牛角。這樣，他們就能知道犀牛身在何處以及牠們的牛角發生了什麼事情。

When an ambulance is rushing in and out of traffic with its sirens screaming and lights flashing, it is best to get out of the way. Driving and riding in these vehicles are paramedics, health-care experts whose main jobs are getting injured people to and from hospitals. Paramedics are usually the first people who arrive on the scene of an emergency to check out the situation and get it under control.
