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.

    In nature，you may see many insects and animals of different colors．Have you ever wondered why?

Locusts(蝗虫)are super delicious food for birds，but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them．It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies．The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops(农作物)．When crops are young，locusts look green．But when autumn comes，locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do．

    Brown bears，tigers and other animals move quietly through forests．They can't be seen easily by their enemies．This is because they have colors similar to the trees．For the same reason．polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white．Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers．Soil insects are mostly dark—colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment．However，insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others．So in order to survive ， they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night．

    Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger．As the ink spreads over．its enemies will not find themselves suddenly in a dark world．At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away．That is how it keeps itself save though it is not strong at all．

Where would you like to stay when you go on a vacation? What kind of hotel would you like to choose? Different people have different ideas. In fact, there are all kinds of special places to stay when you go on a vacation. There are hotels, motels, youth hostels, B&Bs (bed-and-breakfast), home stays, and more. Each is for a different kind of people. If you travel by car, a motel is good for you. You can park your car outside your room. A youth hostel is good for young backpackers (背包客). A B&Bs might be best for couples (夫妻) or anybody who doesn't like being noisy.

    For people who like reading, the library hotel in New York is a must-see. Each of the hotel's 60 rooms is full of books. In fact the hotel has over 6, 000 books in all. If history is your thing, the 9th floor is for you. If you are interested in math and science, you can stay on the 5th floor. Artists will feel at home on the 7th floor. The Poetry Garden is on the 14th floor, and there is a cozy sofa in it. You can sit on the sofa and enjoy reading a good book or relax outside in the Poetry Garden.

The kites in Weifang never disappoint. Every year the Weifang International Kite Festival amazes visitors with creative kites, as "paper birds" of varied designs keep appearing in the sky.

Kites in China can originate from the Warring States Period when Mozi made the first "wooden kite". Kites didn't actually become popular until the Ming Dynasty. By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, artists who were good at kite making began to appear in Weifang. In 1984, the first Weifang International Kite Festival was held.

Kites were used in China during the wars at the very beginning. For example, they can be used to record wind readings, similar to ship flags at sea. Over time, kites became connected with relaxing activities, and were often flown during festivals and holidays.

Today, kite-flying is a popular activity in China, and the Weifang International Kite Festival is one of the largest kite festivals in the world. In 2024, 622 kite artists from 59 countries and areas took part in the event. Zhang Xiaodong,74, has attended all the festivals. In the early days, he only brought traditional kites to take part in the competitions, but this time, he used sound and light to make the story of Chang'e flying to the moon come "alive".

The festival is a great platform to share kite-making skills. It also brings the people of China and other countries closer. As one citizen put it, "No matter how far away kite lovers go, there is always a 'thread' in their heart that can pull them together."

Today is Father's Day. It's a festival to thank fathers for doing so{#blank#}1{#/blank#} for their families. I'd like to say something about my father, too.

Many people say the father's love is as {#blank#}2{#/blank#} as the mountain. In my heart, I always admire my father and regard {#blank#}3{#/blank#} as a real hero. He is a great doctor, he always {#blank#}4{#/blank#} each sick person patiently and wants him or her to become healthy soon. He has saved many people's {#blank#}5{#/blank#} by using his excellent medical skills.

{#blank#}6{#/blank#} he has free time at home, he likes to play video games with me. If I have problems with my study, he will {#blank#}7{#/blank#} me. When I get on with others, he often warns me to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} polite and not to say bad words. He also wishes me to stop complaining(抱怨) about bad things in life. He can {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the correct direction of my life. His words have encouraged me to move on and grow up.

{#blank#}10{#/blank#} proud I am of my father! Do you have such a great father like mine?
