The koala

Appearance:

Size: 70—90cm Weight: 5—14kg

The koala with thick hair looks cute but it has very sharp

teeth and claws (爪子).

The male koala is larger than the female one.

Food: The koala eats eucalyptus leaves (桉樹葉). Each koala

eats about 500 grams of leaves per day.

Habit: The koala sleeps for up to 16—18 hours. It prefers to move around in the evening.

Baby fact: A healthy female koala can have one child each year. A baby koala is very small when it is born—only a quarter of an inch. It has no hair and it can’t see either. It lives in its mother’s pouch (育兒袋) for half a year. During this time, it only drinks its mother’s milk.

Danger: The number of koalas in Australia is getting smaller every year, mainly because of people. People cut down a lot of trees, so many koalas have no places to live in and they don’t have enough leaves to eat. There are fewer than 100,000 koalas in the world. Some scientists say if people don’t protect them, we won’t have any koalas within 30 years.

Just at that time, a man on a horse came up to him. But the farmer felt disappointed (失望 ) when he saw the man. It was a great man and he lived near there.

As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guanxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, I felt sad when I arrived there. It wasn't what I expected. It didn't look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and another one for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me.

The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. Though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.

I was busy preparing lessons, reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hardworking children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.

I have worked in Longzhou for a year now. I’m very happy, and the experience has been very useful for me. I love the small village school and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here.

It's time for school! But on May 14th，Duncanville High School in Texas，US，asks 170

without logos(標(biāo)識(shí))．

wearing trousers that show body parts．Now，some schools don't allow(允許)leggings(緊身褲)．Other schools ask students to wear a shirt or a skirt over leggings．

Some students complain(抱怨)that schools are going too far．But schools say dress codes help protect(保護(hù))students' safety(安全)and make sure they grow up with good taste．

“We want to teach them that they must do this not only here in sch001．but also outside school，”said Andre Smith．

In China, most students go to school by bike or by bus. If the school is not far, they usually walk to school every day. Few students are late for class. But things are different in other countries.

In many Western countries, students live far from their schools and they have different ways to get to school. Many students go to school by car. If there is an underground system(系統(tǒng)) in the city, they can go by underground(地鐵). In some countries, there are double-deckers. The double-decker has two floors and it can carry more people. So some students can take a double-decker to school. Scooters(踏板車) are popular with students in some Western countries. If you don't need to take a bus to school, you can go by scooter. It makes your trip more interesting and exciting. In some cold countries, such as Finland and Iceland, it often snows. The students in towns may take a bus, but the students in villages far from the school have to go by sledge(雪橇) because there is snow everywhere. It takes a little longer. Sometimes, the students may be late for school. If it snows heavily, the students have to teach themselves at home.

1.In China, if the students live near the school, how do they usually go to school every day?

2.In some Western countries, which way to go to school is more interesting and exciting?
