    It's 8:00 a．m．James Butters gives,18-month-old Thomas his milk，then breakfast．After getting Thomas into his outdoor clothes， they head for the park to watch birds and play on the grass．With lunchtime drawing near，they're back home for an afternoon of drawing，    playing with cars，or maybe watching some children’s programs．
    James isn't Thomas’dad．He is a nanny(保姆)-a man nanny obviously，humorously     termed a“manny”—specially trained and in his third nannying position．At 27，he cares for     Thomas，and another boy of a simliar age．“It's much freer than an office job，”he says，    "and you're getting to see children develop and grow．You become very close to them，for     sure．I don't think I'm special or better than a woman nanny; everyone has their own ap-    proach．But I'm unusual．Friends laughed when I started studying nursery nursing．In my     class,I was the only man among 70 women．Somehow，I made it，”he said．
    Although it’s not yet common to find men in traditional nannying courses，things are     changing．In the United States，parents are employing young mannies，sometimes to care     for babies，but more often as active role models to get their children away from the TV and     the computer．From rollerblading(轮滑)friends to summer swimming mannies，these are     the big brothers who are always willing to play，largely because they’re paid for it．It is     catching on here in Britain，too．Earlier this year，Norland Nanny College welcomed its     first full-time man student，19-year-old Peter Cummins in Wales.While some families find     it difficult to accept the idea of a young man in a traditional nannying role，man nannies are     increasingly popular．

    The sun is setting on a summer night．At the entrance of a deep，dark cave，a few bats     fly out．Within a few minutes，millions and millions of bats are pouring out of the cave．
    Sounds like a scary horror movie? Believe it or not，this scene takes place all summer     long，at Bracken Cave in Texas，where 20 million bats come out to feed on insects every     night．“It is magical，”says Jim Kennedy of Bat Conservation International in Texas．“It is     one of the most impressive animal movements on the planet．"
