In Jinzhong， Shanxi Province， there is a group of people who are busy drawing maps around． They are not workers on geography， but dispatchers（调度员） on Emergency（急救） Center of the city．
Since 2007， the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas．
"A dispatcher's job is counted in seconds，" says Liang Ruimei， a dispatcher in the center． She has been working in the center since it started in 2007． "We must answer the phone in 3 seconds， get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch（调度） emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most． If we save one second， the patient may have a better chance to live．"
Although nowadays the center has electronic maps， the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand．
After many years' hard work， the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind． They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building． Sometimes the caller can't tell clearly where he is， but it doesn't matter． As long as he describes the buildings around， the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him．
"We are trying to be quicker than Death，" says Liang．

Imagine a world with no more animals： no elephants， no tigers or lions． To some people， that thought is too terrible for words． So they are doing something about it． Tiffany Soechting is one of them．
Being among wild animals﹣feeding them and caring for them﹣is all Tiffany Soechting has wanted to do with her life． And that is exactly what she does!
Soechting is the human "mother" to the 500 animals that live on her family wildlife farm in San Antonio， Texas． On the farm， she cares for animals from around the world． Soechting says she loves them all． However， two reticulated giraffes（网纹长颈鹿） take up a special place in her heart． Their population in the wild has become smaller by 80% in the last 15 years． "I'm so glad to get help from five wildlife researchers that took giraffes up to a higher level． All our hard work helps protect giraffes living in the wild．"
Besides her animal caring， Soechting also holds monthly classes， where she teaches school children about the animals．
Soechting also opens the farm to the public． Visitors not only learn about the animals， they can also get close to them． And the animals are not against that． For them， people are part of their natural environment．
The farm is part conservation（保护） area， part educational center and part animal park． As the animals walk peacefully around the grounds， it is easy for them to forget that San Antonio， a busy city， is just a few minutes away．
