Dear mum and dad,

I’m writing this letter to you from the center of Australia. At the moment we’re staying near Uluru—that’s the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.

The Australians have many British relatives. That’s why they’re like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.

Although it’s December, it’s summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲內(nèi)陸) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.

The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(駱駝) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down…

Finally, later this evening, we’re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it’s been a fantastic trip!

Tony

How do you feel about your Chinese? Is it good or bad? If you think you are good at Chinese, you can take part in the competition named the “Chinese Characters Dictation Competition (中國漢字聽寫大會)”. The competition became popular among teenagers. Let’s know something about it.

More and more computers and smart phones are used by teenagers. They spend too much time on the Internet in playing or chatting. They are used to sending messages by computers and smart phones. As a result, some teenagers forget how to write the Chinese Characters by hand. The teachers and parents are very worried about it. What can they do?

Not long ago, they found an interesting game called the Chinese Characters Dictation Competition. The program was similar to the American show “National Spelling Bee”. In this program, middle school students competed among themselves and wrote down the Chinese Characters by dictation. Over two hundred competitors were from forty-six middle schools. The audiences(觀眾) loved this new kind of competition, too. They tried to write down the Chinese Characters while the competitors were writing them. But they found it was also difficult for them to write down all the Chinese Characters.

Is it an interesting competition? Can you be the winner?

1.Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容，在文章后第1—5小題的空格里填入一個最恰當?shù)膯卧~。（注意：每個空格只填1個單詞。）

How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track(監(jiān)測) your performance on your phone.

The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.

The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush in a right way and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing.” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.

The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other apps on your phone, so developers could, for example, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters(怪物) among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Serval says.

Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.

The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, from $99 to $199, depending on features.

Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace(代替) the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.
