My friend Henry, with him I studied in the same class, didn’t like studying at school. That’s because he couldn’t go to high school. He had to return back to his hometown, where his father wished him to learn to manage our small shop. However, the young man was not interesting in it and didn’t do as his father said. He spends a lot of time reading and he also learned how to repair cars. Last month, I accepted an e-mail from him inviting me take my vacation in his hometown. I started off. Seeing that he was such successful, I said, “Henry, all road lead to Rome. You are great!”

Australia’s koalas could be dying out within 30 years, unless urgent measures is taken to stop the losing in population, according to researchers. They say development, climate change and bushfires have all related to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply. The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than half in the past six years. Previous estimates put the number of koalas at more than 100,000, but the latest figures suggest there could now be as few as 43,000.
The foundation collected field data from 1,800 sites and 80,000 trees to calculate the numbers. In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20,000 koalas a decade ago, a team of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of searching.
The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests, hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional(营养的)value of their staple food, eucalyptus leaves, leading to poor nutrition for them.
Koalas, which live in the forests in Australia’s east and south, are very particular about what types of the leaves they eat.
Foundation chief Deborah Tabart said: “The koalas are missing everywhere we look. It’s really no tree, no me. If you keep cutting down trees you don’t have any koalas.”She is hoping the new figures will persuade the government’s Threatened Species Steering Committee (TSSC) to list the koala as threatened. But committee chairman Bob Beeton said a decision was not likely recently and the koala’s status as one of the country’s favorite animals would not be a factor. “There’s a number of species which are attractive and people have special feelings towards them. We don’t consider that,” Mr. Beeton was reported as saying by the AFP agency.
1.The writer gives the example of the area in northern Queensland in Paragraph 3 to show that _____.
A. the environment is being polluted seriously
B. the number of koalas is dropping quickly
C. the forests are being damaged heavily
D. koalas usually live in wild mountainous areas
2.Global warming is an important cause of koalas’ reduction because _____.
A. the leaves koalas eat are losing nutritional value
B. koalas cannot get enough water to drink
C. koalas can hardly stand the hot weather
D. the leaves koalas eat cannot grow in hot weather
3.According to Bob Beeton, _____.
A. they needn’t pay special attention to koalas
B. a decision will be made to protect koalas
C. koalas are his favorite animals
D. koalas needn’t be protected at all

C
lt's a dog's life for the nation's mutts - who are becoming anxious and aggressive through lack of play, experts fear.
A study of 4,000 dog owners has found a clear link between limited playtime and behaviour problems, such as being nervous when left alone, disobedience and snapping at other animals. And while researchers can't be sure that playing less is directly to blame, they say that games provide vital intellectual stimulation and exercise. The Bristol University study showed that only one in five owners play with their dogs six times a day. Half play two or three times a day and 10 per cent have just one play session.
Mark Evans, former chief vet for the RSPCA, said that dogs are one of the few animals to play into adulthood. He told the Sunday Times: 'There is a clear association in the results. Owners report more potential behaviour problems in dogs that play less.'
Emily Blackwell -- who conducted the research uncovered tonight on Channel 4's Dogs: Their Secret Lives - said dogs often enjoy playing so much that they slow down or change strategy to make the fun last longer. The lecturer in canine(犬科动物) welfare hopes that 10,000 people will eventually fill out the survey. This will enable her to firmly establish whether lack of play is affecting dogs' moods - or if their emotional problems put their owners off spending time with them. For instance,they may slow down when playing 'chase', allowing their owner to catch up with them and the game to continue. Favourite games include wrestling, chase and tugging at toys, and perhaps unsurprisingly,'fetch' topped the list. Tennis balls were the favourite toys, followed by soft, squeaky toys, rubber balls and rope toys.
The research comes just days after an animal charity warned that millions of dogs are becoming fat. aggressive and destructive because their owners are clueless about basic animal care.The PDSA said that treats including beer, chips and leftover takeaways are making dogs fat and unwell – and wamed that almost a million are never taken for a walk.
1.If the dogs are not looked after carefully, .
A.they may become rebelling and damaging
B.they may get hurt and run away from home
C.they may become less active and dislike playing with the owners
D.they are more likely to fight with other animals
2.What is Emily Blackwell's opinion on dogs' behavior?
A.If the owners spend less time with their dogs, they may become aggressive.
B.Dogs know how to make their playing time last longer.
C.Only a few owners spend enough time playing with their dogs.
D.Some junk food or leftover may cause obesity on dogs.
3.The underlined word "this" in the fourth paragraph probably refers to .
A.canine welfare
B.Channel 4's Dogs:Their Secret Lives
C.the survey
D.favourite games
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Researchers confirm that playing less is to blame for dogs' bad behaviours.
B.Most of the owners will play with their dogs many times in a day.
C.Chase and tennis balls are the favourites of dogs.
D.It's obvious that dogs' behaviour problems are related with their playing time.
