Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbors. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.

Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter(尖刻的)words, and then weeks of silence(沉默). One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. "It must be done by Bob," John thought.

Then one day there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway.

"I'm looking for a few days' work," the carpenter said.

"I do have a iob for you," John said. "Look at the stream at that farm. That's done by my neighbor, Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence-an 8-foot fence. I don't want to see his place or his face any more. I don't have such a neighbor!"

The carpenter said, "I think I know what to do, sir, and I'll be able to do a job that will please you."

Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day.

At about sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!

It was a bridge. And the neighbor, Bob, was coming across it, with his hand outstretched (伸出)."Hi, John! You're quite a fellow to build this bridge!"

Then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. "I'm terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other," said Farmer Bob.

Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you," said Farmer John. "I'd love to stay," the carpenter said, "but I have more bridges to build. "

More than 200 years ago, some Englishmen reached Australia and they were surprised to see these unbelievable animals. Today, kangaroos(袋鼠)are still surprising us.

When a baby kangaroo is born, it is about the size of a bean! The little hairless baby climbs into the "pocket" on the front of the mother's body. The pocket, called a pouch(育儿袋)，will be the baby's home for the next few months. The little baby kangaroo stays in the pouch, drinking milk and growing. You might think that the baby kangaroo would be in danger of falling out of the pouch, but this is not true. The mother kangaroo can close the pouch, making it warm and safe.

As the baby kangaroo grows up, it pokes(探出)the head out of the mother's pouch and looks around the world: Soon, the baby kangaroo is big enough to move around on its own. But any sign of danger will send the baby kangaroo back to the safety of the pouch. Most baby kangaroos spend at least part of their time inside the pouch before they are almost a year old. Even after a baby kangaroo is too large to fit in the pouch, it will stay with the mother for a few more months.

Kangaroos have very large back legs and feet. While they look cute and lovely, it is important to remember that kangaroos are wild animals. They often fight with each other, sometimes as a kind of social play. Australian Wildlife Centre tells people never to feed or get close to kangaroos.

The sheep farms cover much of the Australian countryside and are good homes for kangaroos. The kangaroos drink the water and eat the sweet grasses on the farms. Of course, the farmers are not always happy to share with the kangaroos.

1.Which of these tells about newborn kangaroos?

A. They are little and hairless.

B. They look like beans.

C. They are born in the mother's pouch.

D. They live alone soon after birth.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. It is not surprising to see kangaroos at all now.

B. Kangaroos can be dangerous to people.

C. The baby kangaroo would fall out of the pouch sometimes.

D. Kangaroos have very small back legs and feet.

3.What can you learn from this passage?

A. Kangaroos fight with each other only for fun.

B. Baby kangaroos live in pouches for a few years.

C. Pouches are very important to baby kangaroos.

D. All the people like kangaroos because they are so cute.

4.What will the next paragraph most probably talk about?

A. People protect kangaroos around the world.

B. Kangaroos have many ways to protect their babies.

C. Kangaroos can jump high with the help of legs and tails.

D. The Australian government keeps kangaroos away from the sheep farms.

You can see waste（浪费）everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.

Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源）, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported（据报道） that we will have no coal （煤）or oil to use in 100 years. Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

In our everyday life, we can do many things to stop waste . For example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom and try not to order more food than we need. Little by little, everything will be changed. We can stop waste one day if we do our best to form（养成）the habit of saving.
