26、Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”?

Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People can “farm” on a piece of “land” and “grow’’, “sell” or even “steal” “fruits” “vegetables”, and “flowers” on the Net. They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets” and even “houses”.

Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.

Harold: I don’t quite understand why they are so mad about the childish game. Maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world.

Allan: I enjoy putting some “bugs” in my friends’ gardens and we’ve become closer because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it.

Laura: You know, people in the city are longing for(期望) the life in the countryside. It reduces my work pressure. Besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a “thief”.

Ivy: Well, it’s just a waste of time. Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they can not focus on their study.

27、Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）

The koala is unique (独特的) to Australia and is an important symbol of the country. The koala is found in open eucalypt (桉树) forests in south-east Queensland. Even if it is called koala bear, this animal has nothing to do with the actual bear. Koalas have thick fur and large cars.

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 (爪)! Koalas are marsupials (有袋类). This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, similar to a kangaroo. 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 leaves they eat. That’s where they get their food too.

Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves. 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 (营养) 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 (呼噜的) sound.

The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds. If they get scared they may scream like a baby. The koala is also an excellent swimmer.

They are able to cross rivers to escape from heavy flooding (泛滥).

【1】 Koalas mainly live in   .

A、 Singapore  B、 India  C、 Australia  D、 New Zealand

【2】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.

【3】 The word “koala” comes from a word that means   .

A、 no drink   B、 moving slowly

C、 large ears  D、 barking loudly

【4】 Why do koalas spend most of their time sleeping?

A、 To escape from natural enemies.

B、 They get tired from playing so much.

C、 Their food does not give them much energy.

D、 To protect themselves from the sun.

【5】If an adult koala screams like a baby, it may get .

A、 worried  B、 frightened  C、 hungry  D、 sleepy

【6】The koala can   .

A、 run very fast   B、 jump very high

C、 wake most of the time  D、 swim very well
