阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择正确答案.

　The Australian government（政府）has built the longest fence（篱笆）in the world. It is 9, 500 kilometres long, and two hundred men look after it. They drive along it and repair it every day. Sand blows against it and covers it. Sand blows away from it and leaves holes under it. Rabbits make holes through it. These holes are dangerous. The men have to repair them immediately. If they do not, the dingoes will get in. Dingoes are wild dogs. They are the fiercest (最凶猛) killers in Australia. Wild animals usually kill for food--but dingoes kill for pleasure, too. One dingo can easily kill 100 sheep in a night. Dingoes killed 600,000 sheep in Queensland in eleven years. Those sheep were worth $2,000,000. The farmers were angry, but they could not stop the dingoes. The problem was too big for the farmers to solve. So the government agreed to build the fence. Why? Because Australia depends on her sheep. She exports (出口) 45 percent of all the wool (羊毛) in the world. She mustwin the fight against the dingoes.
