2、 Scientists have learned a lot about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day. They are:
(1) green and yellow vegetables of all kinds; (2) citrus (柑橘)fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruits and vegetables ; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and foods made from milk; (6) bread or cereal (谷物), rice is also in this kind of foods; (7) butter or something like butter.
People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesn’t matter whether foods are eaten raw or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesn’t matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o’clock in the afternoon or at eleven o’clock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day.

3、 Koalas（考拉） remind people of teddy bears. They have thick fur and large ears. Their broad, flat nose makes them look cute, similar to teddy bears. In fact koalas aren’t cute. They have sharp teeth and very sharp claws! Koalas are marsupials. This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, similar to a kangaroo（袋鼠）. The baby koala lives in its mother’s pocket for the first six months of its life.
The name “koala” comes from a native Australian word that means “no drink”. The koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus(桉树)leaves they eat. That’s where they get their food too. Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves, and only the leaves of certain eucalyptus trees. The eucalyptus trees are where the koalas live. It’s also where they sleep. Koalas sleep about nineteen hours a day!
Why do they sleep so much? Some people think it’s because they’re lazy. But koalas aren’t lazy. They sleep so much because there isn’t much nutrition in
eucalyptus leaves. Koalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energy. One way to do this is to move slowly and sleep a lot.
After a day of sleeping they like to move around and eat just after sunset. They live alone most of the time. Koalas are very protective of their trees. If a koala sees another koala eating in its favorite tree, it might tell the other koala to leave by “barking” at it. Koalas do “talk” to each other. Besides barks, the males make a deep grunting sound. The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds. If they get scared they may scream like a baby.
12.According to the article, how are koalas and kangaroos alike?
A. They both have thick fur.
B. They both have sharp teeth.
C. They both eat eucalyptus leaves.
D. They both carry their young in a pocket.
13.The word “koala” comes from a word that means ________.
A. no drink B. moving slowly
C. large ears D. barking loudly
14.Why do koalas sleep a lot?
A. Their babies need to get much rest.
B. They get tired from playing so much.
C. Their food does not give them much energy.
D. They do not like to be awake when it is warm.
15.If an adult koala screams like a baby, he may get ________.
A. worried B. scared
C. hungry D. Sleepy

Later, I realized the importance of English, so I got up early every morning, recited English words, listened to English tapes and did a lot of exercises. I also asked my teachers and classmates for better ways of learning English.
Now, I’m improving my English greatly. And I’m getting more and more interested m learning it. Thank you so much for your great help in your class.
Wish you all the best.
Yours,
Li Hua
