Have you heard of the English band called the Beatles（甲壳虫）? It was so popular in the world in the 1960s {#blank#}1{#/blank#}people have been crazy about them ever since.

    The Beatles is one of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}greatest bands of the 20th century. And Paul McCartney is one of the four numbers. Besides, he is now the third richest man in Europe. He has worked at music {#blank#}3{#/blank#}nearly forty years and today he is one of the world's most famous{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    He was {#blank#}5{#/blank#}in Liverpool, England in 1942. He started to play the guitar when he was 14. This was perhaps the most important point in {#blank#}6{#/blank#}life.

    Later, he joined the Beatles, which became the most successful band in the history of rock music. During the 1960s, the Beatles continued to make songs. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} in 1970,  the band broke up.

    In 1972, Paul formed a new band called Wings, it was not as successful {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the Beatles.{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the 1980s, Paul has written pop music and has worked on films. He is one of the best songwriters and musicians that no rock fan will {#blank#}10{#/blank#}forget.

    Round eyes, round head, round ears and round body! He looks like a bear, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he is not a bear. He's a Koala.

    People in Australia love Koalas. They have set up places for them to live {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (safe). No one kills them for their fur. When a koala is born, he has no fur. The mother koala has a pocket in the front of her body. The baby stays in this warm pocket for six {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (month).

    When the baby koala leaves the pocket, he has much fur. He {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (climb) onto his mother's back. There he learns from his mother how to find food. Mrs koala is {#blank#}5{#/blank#}good mother. But when the baby is naughty (淘气的), she beats {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (he). The baby cries just as a small child does. If he keeps on crying, his mother beats again.

    The koala can't live without a special kind of tree. The tree is the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (important) to the koala, because it gives him both home and food. For most of the day the koala sleeps in the tree. At night the koala looks {#blank#}8{#/blank#} food. He likes only the bark and the leaves of the tree. He eats nothing else. He eats more than two pounds each night.

    I like the koala best, because I think {#blank#}9{#/blank#}a cute animal the koala is! In the future I want {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(go) to Australia to see the real koala.
