Koala Joey

Far away in Australia, a koala sits high in a eucalyptus tree. She grips a branch with the rough pads and sharp claws on her paws. In her pouch (小袋) she hides something special—her baby.

    At birth the baby koala, called a joey, does not look like his furry mom. He is pink and bald(无毛的)and as small as a jellybean. Although he cannot see, he moves his legs and crawls. He smells milk and, without any help, starts to feel his way to his mother's pouch. Five minutes later he slips (滑) inside.

    Inside the pouch, the joey drinks his mother's milk and grows. His eyes open. His ears form, and he hears his mother's calls. Soon thick fur covers his body. By the time the joey is ready to explore the world, he looks like his mother.

At five months old, the joey peers out of his pouch. He eats a special soft food from his mother called pap. When the joey eats pap, he gets bacteria(细菌)from his mother's stomach in his tummy too. He will need the bacteria to eat eucalyptus leaves, like grownup koalas do.

    In another month, the joey leaves the pouch for the first time. He clings(贴着)to his mother's belly while she climbs in the treetops. By the time he is eight months old, the joey no longer fits in his mother's pouch. But he still drinks her milk.

    Now, for a few hours each night, the joey climbs on his mother's back for a ride. While riding piggyback, he reaches for eucalyptus leaves. Just like mom, he nips (咬) off leaves and chews them. The leaves have plenty of water in them, so koalas rarely go to the ground for a drink. When the joey is about one year old, his piggyback days are over. Now he climbs to the treetops by himself. On each of his front paws, he has two thumbs opposite his three fingers. He can grip branches and grab leaves. The young koala spends more and more time away from his mother. He no longer drinks her milk. He dozes (打瞌睡,打盹) alone on tree branches. Soon he will move to another tree and live on his own.

(1)、When a joey is eight months old, it can _________.

A、eats a food called pap B、rides on his mother's back C、sleeps on tree branches D、clings to his mother's belly
(2)、A joey stops drinking its mother's milk when it is about_______.

A、one year old B、six months old C、eight months old D、five months old
(3)、Paragraph 2 is mainly about_________.

A、the name of a baby koala B、w hat a newborn koala is like C、the size of a baby koala D、what kind of fur a newborn koala has
(4)、The author most likely wrote this passage to________.

A、introduce readers about baby koalas B、tell a funny story about a baby koala  C、encourage people to protect baby koalas D、compare a baby koala to other baby animals
举一反三

Once a man walked to India where he had never been before. When he got there, he saw many kinds of fruits. But most were expensive. The man saw a big basket of red, long fruit. He thought it must be sour and sweet. 

He went up and asked, " How much per kilo?"And the shopkeeper said, "Two rupees(卢比). "

Two rupees in India is nothing. And it was the cheapest in the shop. So he bought a kilogram and started eating it. But after he ate some, his eyes watered, his mouth watered and burned, and his face became red. He even coughed while eating. 

But he still ate the fruit! Some locals who were looking at him shook their heads and said, "You're crazy, man. It's chilly! You can't eat so much! People use it as spice(调味品), but only a little bit to put into food for taste. They're not fruit!" But the man said, . "No, I can't stop! I can't waste my money. "

Do you think that man was stupid? In fact, we sometimes do a lot of things like that. We put money, time or effort into a relationship, business or job. Even though over a long time it won't work, and we know things will never change in the future, we still go on just because of the things we've put in. like the man. 

So even if you've lost something, let it go and move on. That's better than keeping losing.

Carol and Linda took a trip to San Francisco last July. They went there to visit Nick. Nick is a friend from their old neighborhood in Rome. He moved to San Francisco five years ago. They went there by train because they wanted to see more of the United States. 

They arrived in San Francisco in the evening. Nick met them at the train station. They were so delighted to see him. He looked the same as before. They gave him a big hug (拥抱). The next day, they went sightseeing (观光). They saw the Golden Gate Bridge. They had lunch at Fisherman's Wharf. At Fisherman's Wharf, they saw the fishing boats come in. The next day, they visited the University of California at Berkeley. Nick teaches music there. Carol and Linda liked the school. They thought that it was very big and very beautiful.

 You don't need money for this vending machine(自动售货机), and it also won't give you any food like chocolates, chips or cola. What you' ll get from the vending machine is a book. First graders at A. M. Kulp Primary School were the first to try out the new machine. It was installed(安装) at the school during the third week of February 2024.

 Alyssa Nedorezov— the librarian, the person who works in the library, has been dreaming of this for about a year. She always wants to help students read. She says when students read both in and out school, it will greatly help with the students' reading and make it easier for them to keep a reading habit. Students like getting anything from a vending machine. Alyssa Nedorezov thinks it is fun for kids to get books there. So they will be really interested in reading and fall in love with it.

 Here's how it works. When students do something good, their teachers give them something called" cat paw". Then they can change their cat paws into the vending machine tokens(代币). The token works in the vending machine, and students can choose any book to take home to read for some time or keep forever.

 What if there is such a machine in your school in the future?

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

①Have you ever wondered why we can't control those"achoo" moments? Welcome to the unusual world of sneezes(打喷嚏). Here is some interesting knowledge about it

②First, it all starts with a tickle(痒). Whether it's dust, pepper, or a simple ray of sunshine as long as your body thinks it might be something harmful, your brain gets a warning that it's time to sneeze. It's like the first sound in a sneezing concert. What's more, a sneeze is like a small pop. It can travel up to 100 miles per hour (160 km per hour)! Imagine your sneeze going past at the speed of a raving can. It's your nose's way of saying,"    ▲    "

③After a sneeze, we often say"bless you". It's believed to stop you from evil spirits who' re trying to get into your body during a sneeze. So, every bless you' is like a mini exorcism(驱邪) for your nose. Also, one sneeze can start a chain(连锁) reaction. Sneezes are a bit like a kind of illness which can spread from one to another. For example, once one person starts, it's hard for others not to join in. It's the social side of sneezing!

④Finally, did you know that some people else their eyes without thinking anything when they sneeze? It's like a built-in part of your body, and scientists aren't sure why it happens.

⑤All in all, after knowing the unusual world of sneezes, we should let it be. The next time you feel a tickle in your nose and the feeling to sneeze, just accept it. It's not just a sneeze. Instead, it's an unusual, uncontrollable performance brought to you by the one and only, your fantastic nose!
