    WIRES is short for Wildlife Information and Rescue Service. It is an Australian  organization, established(成立) in 1985 to care for injured and orphaned(失去母兽的) native wildlife. WIRES has a network of hundreds of volunteers who rescue and care for native animals until they are well enough to be released (释放)into the wild. Volunteers look after rescued animals in their own homes and are trained in the special needs of native wild animals.
    When Australians find a native animal in trouble, they often call WIRES for help. WIRES may be asked to look after a possum that has been attacked by a cat, rescue a large lizard that has got its head caught in a drink can, or care for a baby animal who has lost its mother. People call WIRES when they want to move a dangerous snake away from their garden or when they find a seabird that has swallowed(吞下) a fishing line or an owl with a broken wing. Sometimes kangaroos jumped onto the road in front of cars and are run over. Australians are encouraged to check the pouch(育儿袋)of dead kangaroos in case there is a baby in it. WIRES volunteers find themselves caring for many babies orphaned in this way.
Each year, in the summer, parts of Australia suffer from(受苦) huge bush fires. These fires not only destroy human homes and put people in danger, but they also destroy animal habitats(栖息地)and endanger the animals living in the bush. After a big fire, WIRES and other organizations go into the district to pick up surviving animals. They are treated for burns, shock, smoke and other problems and then cared for until new location can be found for them.
    WIRES is also involved in educating people in the importance of caring for wildlife and wildlife habitats. Volunteers visit schools and other public places to talk about native animals. Sometimes they bring a bat or some other interesting animals with them to show to people who may never have seen one up close before.

If you want to be a better reader, what should you know about the speed of reading? Some people read very quickly and others read very slowly. But which one is better? The quick reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down to read instructions(说明书) carefully. The slow reader may be a good reader. But he may spend too much time reading a story for fun. So the reader who reads everything quickly or the one who reads everything slowly isn't really a good reader. Knowing why you are reading or what you are reading can help you to know whether(是否)you need to read quickly or slowly. Some things should be read slowly. You must read these things slowly all the time to understand and remember everything important. Examples(例子)are instructions for making or doing something. Also, math books, science and even some storybooks are full of important information. However, some things should be read quickly. Examples are picture-books for enjoyment, letters from friends , and some quick news from newspapers.

In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast. You will need to read some pages quickly and then slow down and do more carefully reading when you come to important ideas. So, knowing when to change your reading speed is one important symbol of being a good reader.

Reading comprehension

We do eye exercises. We wear sunglasses (太阳镜). We do lots of things to protect our eyes. But we usually forget another important part of our body—the ears. 

Ears help us hear the world {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Once this happens, it's hard to get your hearing back. So how can we protect our ear ■■■take a look together. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Dry your ears with a towel (毛巾) after swimming or taking a bath. If you feel water in your ear, shake your head a little bit. This can help you get the water out of your ear. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}During the winter, protect your ears with a hat or a scarf.

Keep your ears clean

Usually, our ears clean themselves. The earwax (耳屎) builds up, dries out, and then comes out of the ear along with some dirt (污垢).

Don't clean your ears with anything sharp (尖锐的), or it can make the earwax go too deep into your ears and hurt them. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

How to use headphones (耳机)

Don't listen to loud music on your headphones for a long time. Follow the 60:60 rule: listen to music at 60 percent of your headphones' maximum volume (最大音量) for no more than 60 minutes a day.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. They do a better job of stopping outside noise so you can. listen at a lower volume.

Choose five sentences out of the six in the box to complete the passage. Each choice should be used only once

A. How to use your ears.

B. Keep your ears dry and warm.

C. Over—the—ear headphones are better than in—ear ones.

D. But if your ears start to hurt, you can go to a doctor for help.

E. But many things, such as loud noises, can cause hearing loss (听力丧失).

F. Also, when the sun is shining, wear some sunscreen (防晒霜) on your ears.

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

 For centuries, humans have made great efforts to study the Moon. Galileo, the Italian astronomer, noticed the mountains and lands on the Moon with a telescope(望远镜). In 1969, the US Apollo 11 project marked the first time that humans set foot on the satellite. Recently, China' s Chang'e 6 brought back the rocks and soil from the far side of the Moon for the first time in history. You may wonder: what is the value of exploring the Moon?

 Many scientists believe that the Moon was made of the rocks and dust from the baby Earth. When the solar system(系统) just formed. a Mars-sized object crashed into the Earth. The force of the crash was so great that it sent materials from the Earth, and from the object that hit it, back into the space. Some of the rocks and dust stuck together and created the Moon. 

 Those materials on the Moon's surface(表面) have stayed unchanged for over three billion(十亿) years, since it does not have an Earth-like atmosphere. This simple fact makes our Moon a time capsule, which allows scientists to uncover the Earth's past. 

 It is also about our future. In the last two decades, water was discovered on the Moon. It may help future humans look for drinkable water, breathable air, and rocket fuel outside the Earth. Besides, the Moon is a proper place to test technologies required for deep space exploration, including sending humans to Mars. 

 Considering the important role that moon exploration plays in scientific research and human future, scientists suggest that human activity on the Moon should avoid bringing harm to its environment.

The human brain is very small and light(only two percent of our total body weight),but it needs about 20% of the oxygen(氧气) that our body takes in. We can't think well if our brain isn't getting enough oxygen,so always make sure there is enough oxygen in the air when you need to learn or remember something! 

No one can remember everything,but everyone can learn how to improve their memory. Here are some tips- none of them can make your memory 100% perfect,but all of them are useful:

● When you want to remember something,tell a friend about it. This way the new information becomes more memorable(可记住的). Later on,think about the conversation with your friend. It will remind you of the information you wanted to remember. 

● Don't over-train your brain. When you've remembered a list of new vocabulary,stop studying. It's better to study a lot of material for a small amount of time than a small amount of material for a lot of time! 

● Our memory works well when we are asleep. If you want to remember something,go to bed and go to sleep at once after learning it. 

● If you have to remember something big,break it down into smaller pieces. It's easier to remember198756430387 if you break it into four smaller bits:198-756-430-387. 

● If you want to remember a piece of information,and you can't,don't get angry. Relax and tell yourself,"If it's important,I will remember it later. " 

●____ . Experts say that our brain works a lot in pictures. So sometimes,if we want to remember new information,it helps to make a picture story. 

Let yourself be surprised by your memory!
