The kangaroo is the world’s largest living marsupial (有袋动物). It was first found on the island of southwestern Australia. The animal was given its name by a famous English tourist in the 18th century.
The kangaroo may be 7 feet(2.1m) tall when standing upright and the male can weigh as heavy as 200 pounds(90kg). The female (雌性) is smaller and lighter than the male. The kangaroo’s head is small, but its ears are large, and its fore feet are really small. The animal has strong back legs and long tail.
The kangaroo usually covers from 5 to 10 feet(1.5 to 3m) with each jump. The female is usually faster than the male. The mother kangaroo has a pouch (育儿袋) in its abdomen (腹部). The baby kangaroo grows up in the mother’s pouch slowly.
The kangaroo lives on grass and other plants. It is always moving from one place to another, lying down to sleep on the ground during the night. It likes to enjoy the warm sunshine. When it’s in danger, it can use its back legs and strong tail to protect itself.

We need animals. Every animal has its place in the balance(平衡) of nature. We should try to help save the animals.
Some people think zoos are good places. The zoos give the animals the comfortable and safe living places. If the animals get hurt or ill, people will take care of them. The zoo is a good place to know the rules in the wild world. We can be much closer to nature. We can know more about the animals in the zoos by watching, listening even smelling instead of just looking at the pictures in books.
Some people don’t think animals feel happy in the zoos. Animals like pandas, wolves and bears usually live in the wild. They play and find food by themselves. They are free and happy in the wild. If they are in the zoos, food is enough and rooms are comfortable. They do not need to do their best to find food to eat or places to stay in. They just walk around, sleep day and night, but they are not free at all.
I think we should build national parks as wild life nature reserves to protect animals. If we do nothing, animals will get fewer and fewer.

阅读理解 阅读下列短文, 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn’t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish?”
The child answered, “I want the fishing rod(竿) in your hands.”
The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?”
“It doesn’t take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.”
I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn’t know how to fish, she can not have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It’s useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.
Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will no longer fear(害怕)the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.
1.The old man was fishing on the bank of ___________.
A. a river B. a lake
C. a pool D. a stream
2.Why did the child refuse(拒绝) the fish the old man gave her?
A. Because she didn’t like fish
B. Because she wanted his fishing rod
C. Because the old man had few fish
D. Because she wanted to learn fishing skills
3.The writer thought the child was _______ after she explained why she didn’t want the fish.
A. smart B. hard-working
C. silly(傻的) D. creative(有创造力的)
4.The article mainly tell us ____________
A. if you have a “fishing rod” in your life, you won’t be afraid of anything.
B. if you have a fishing rod, you’ll have a lot of fish to eat
C. “fishing skills” are more important than “the fishing rod” in life.
D. “the fishing rod” is more important than the fish that people catch
5.What is the best title for the article?
A. The Fishing Rod B. The Fishing Man
C. The Fishing Girl D. The fishing Experience
