Japan is made up of a chain of islands that lie off the coast of Asia. People came to live in Japan from the nearby countries of China and Korea. From these older countries, the Japanese borrowed ideas, inventions and habits.
For many years, the Japanese built houses like those in China. They dressed themselves like a Chinese. From China came their way of writing and their habit of drinking tea.
In more recent times, the Japanese have borrowed things from our country, the United States. They have a government like ours. They do much work in science, as we do. Baseball is a favorite sport in Japan, just as it is here.
Things change when they come to Japan. The Japanese improve on almost everything they borrow. The art of garden making came from Korea and China, but the Japanese gardens are special. Each garden has a waterfall, a pond, and small bridges. There are few flowers in Japanese gardens. But the gardens are green during all the year round because they have many evergreens. Japanese gardens have a different kind of beauty.

A few of years ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my friend, Chris. We decided to drive across country to Brisbane after the meeting ended(结束). The drive was going to take four days and most of it was across the desert（沙漠）,    1   
The first day was a lot of fun as we were excited and laughing at each other's stupid（愚蠢的） jokes. By the third day of driving in the seemingly endless（无边的） desert, we began to get bored. We had been quiet for a few hours when in the distance（在远处） Chris found some kangaroos（袋鼠）. We were both excited and decided to get a closer（更近） look.  2  .We got closer and closer, and Chris was doing 110 kilometers per(每) hour. We were very close to the kangaroos—too close—when we heard a loud BANG!
Chris stopped the car and we got out. Behind the car was a larger kangaroo lying completely still on the ground.   3  He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket. Then, he put his arm around the kangaroo and told me to take a photo of them together.  4  While I was focusing（聚焦） the camera, I saw the kangaroo move. It suddenly woke up（醒来）, looked at Chris, and jumped away into the distance before we could do anything.
I started laughing（笑） but Chris looked very serious（严肃）.   5   I started laughing even harder(更厉害). I stopped laughing, however, when he said that our car keys were also in the jacket!
