This story was told long ago by the ancient people in Australia.

    Once there was a child whose parents were dead, so he was left to his relatives. However, the relatives treated him badly. They didn't allow him to drink the water they had collected far away, so the was thirsty most of the time. The child was even told to eat eucalyptus leaves(桉树叶).

One day, after all the relatives left, the boy drank the water from his relatives' water bottles. Then he hung the bottles on a small tree and began to sing some ancient songs. At once, the tree began to grow very tall. When his relatives returned, they found the boy was on the tree with their bottles. They became very angry, for they could not reach the water and they knew the boy had played tricks on them. But they said that they would be kind to the boy if he came down and brought the water bottles with him.

    However, as soon as the boy made his way down to the ground, his relatives set about beating him with sticks and stones until his body was quite soft. Mad with anger, they continued to heat him until a strange thing happened at last. The boy began to change. He became a koala and climbed up the tree. The relatives cut down the tree and the koala-boy disappeared. The bottles on the tree fell down and became a river.

    Since that time, koalas have been treated with respect or all the water in the land will dry up.

 8 I moved to Italy(意大利) this year, I found a great club The club was more interesting than the one at my university.

I think that everyone should try doing sports I feel good when I 9 sports I don't think a lot of people enjoy basketball at school but maybe they10 enjoy yoga or volleyball. So let's do sports now!

Brenda was a girl with one big dream. She wanted to play the 1 in a band. But there was one problem. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to 2 a lot. But she lived next to a lot of old people. The sound of beating drums would make them feel 3 .

 Brenda was a very kind girl. She tried to find a way to practice her drums 4 bothering(干扰) other people. 5 she tried playing in the kitchen, and even in the bathroom. But there was always 6 who could hear the noise. That made her feel sorry so she spent most of her time playing on books and boxes.

 One day, while watching a 7 program on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda decided to become a 8 astronaut.

 After a lot of hard work, Brenda built a space bubble. It was a big glass ball connected to a machine. The machine could draw(抽出) out all the 9 inside. All that would be left inside were drums and a chair. Brenda 10 the space suit(宇航服) she made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, then she played the drum 11 .

 Years later, when people asked her 14 she could achieve all this, she thought for a moment and said," These people next door are old and I need to 15 about their feelings. If not,I wouldn't go such a long way to find a solution, and none of this would have ever happened."
