    Every year, people from every corner of the world travel to Australia to meet the kangaroo—the lovely, unusual and special Australian animal that jumps all over this sunburnt continent. There is a young kangaroo that is lucky to be alive today, thanks to meeting a pair of New South Wales teenagers.

    Nick Heath and Jack Donnelly were riding their motorbikes in the bush outside Sydney on Sunday when they came across a kangaroo stuck in the mud(泥). The boys were lucky enough to see the head of the animal sticking out of the mud at Agnes Banks next the Nepean River in southwest Sydney.

    The animal was clearly in pain but the boys couldn't reach it so they raced home to get a rope. When they returned, Mr. Donnelly tied the rope around his waist(腰) and walked into the thick mud to get hold of the kangaroo while his friend then pulled them about 30m to safety.

 Appearing on Today this morning, the young men retold their story.

"The kangaroo's life was important to us, so we pulled out all the stops to rescue it." Mr. Heath said.

    "We're proud of what we did. If we see something like that again, we'll do it all over."Mr Heath added.

    The animal, which was not in great health, after being saved, was handed to Wildlife Rescue Organization. It's believed that it's very hot and the kangaroo was likely searching for water in the dry conditions when it got stuck in the mud.

    As for the heroes of the story, they're glad to have been in the right place at the right time to help the animal and don't care about the attention it's brought.

    "Yeah, we liked it, something different." Mr. Donnelly told reporters.

How to Ride a Bicycle in Traffic

Cycling in traffic is something that seems dangerous but can be quite safe as long as you follow the rules of the road, exercise alertness(机敏) and common sense. Here are some tips for you. 

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} A helmet (头盔) won't prevent accidents. But it can protect your head from serious hurt if you are in an accident. That's why it's always safer to wear it when cycling. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} So always have lights if it is not very bright out, and if you cycle in the evening, reflective(反光的) clothing is a great idea. The easier you are to be seen, the less possible you are to be hit. 

If you're an inexperienced cyclist, it isn't a good idea to throw yourself in the heavy traffic. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Pick some quiet back streets and get used to being around cars and other road traffic. Gradually build up your stamina (耐 力) on larger roads by practising on them on quiet days. 

You should always pay attention to the rules of the road. Always ride with the traffic. Stay off sidewalks, stop for red lights, stop at stop signs, and follow all other traffic signs.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Your good habits can help improve others' safety awareness. 

Avoid doing things that will affect your ability to hear cars coming up behind you. If you need to talk on your mobile phone, stop and pull over. Don't listen to music or radio. Some cars are very difficult to hear, so you need to pay careful attention to not being run over by them. 

A. The wearing of helmets is a requirement in many countries. 

B. Don't jump the lights no matter how many other cyclists do it. 

C. Start from the easy streets. 

D. Most accidents happen when drivers haven't noticed a cyclist.

What do you think of these tips? {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

 完形填空。

The African elephant is Earth's largest land animal by far. Asian elephants are a little smaller than African elephants. They mainly live in 1  of India and Southeast Asia. About 30% of Asian elephants live in captivity (圈养). 

To 2  elephants, the World Elephant Day was set up in 2012. People 3  it on August 12th every year. In China, there are about 300 4  elephants. Most of them are in Yunnan, Southwest China. And they are 5  first- class state (国家一级的) protection. August12th of 2023 was the 6  World Elephant Day. China celebrated it in a safari park in Guangzhou. 

As we all know, 15 7  elephants moved to the north of Yunnan from the forests 3 years ago.8  said that it was uncommon for them to move so far. It made many people become 9  the reason. Some elephant lovers thought 10  they just wanted to look for food. In fact, to protect the elephants, the Chinese government 11  more than 160 nature reserves (保护区) in Yunnan. However, the number of elephants is 12  so fast. Now there isn't enough food for them, so they decided to leave their home. 

Nobody was sure about the 13 , but the fact was that their"journey" to north broke (打破) the peace of some villages. They destroyed farms along the way and made people in 14 . The police tried to stop the situation from getting worse all the time. They took lots of food to feed those wild elephants15  guide them to a safe place. 

Anyway, it is a long way to protect elephants.
