Lions are opportunists. They prefer to eat without having to do too much work. When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made a kill，they will drive it off and take the kill for themselves. A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.

       The lionesses， being thinner and faster, are better hunters than the males. But the males don't mind. After the kill they move in and take the best share.

       Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak. We have seen many， many daylight attempts but only ten kills. Roughly， it's about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.

       When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole， they wait patiently and can charge at any second. The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion， since these great animals spend most of their time， about 20 hours a day， sleeping and resting.

       Lions are social cats， and when they are having a rest， they love to touch each other. After drinking at a water hole， a lioness rests her head on another's back. When walking， young lions often touch faces with older ones， an act of close ties among members of the group.

Australia has very strict laws relating to the importation and possession of certain goods. Food, plant material and animal products from overseas--including many common souvenirs -could introduce some of the world’s most serious pests and diseases into Australia. Failing to declare quarantine items （需要檢疫的物品） on arrival could destroy our agriculture, tourism industries and special environment. 

       Every piece of luggage will be screened or x-rayed on arrival in Australia. So you must declare for inspection of all food, plant material and animal products to check that they are free of pests and diseases.

       You must tick YES on the Incoming Passenger Card（IPC） to declare if you are carrying any food, plant material or animal products. In signing the IPC, passengers are making a legal declaration and failure to answer all questions truthfully can have serious consequences. 

       If you fail to declare or dispose of any quarantine items, or make a false declaration:

       * you will get caught;

       * you could be fined over a $ 200 on-the-spot; or

       * you could be prosecuted and fined more than a $ 60,000 fine and risk up to 10 years

imprisonment;

       If you are not sure about the items you are carrying, ask a quarantine officer who will determine whether they are allowed into Australia.

1．The reason why you are asked to declare quarantine items on arrival is that _________.
