Koalas 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. 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（桉樹(shù)）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 (營(yíng)養(yǎng)）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.

D. They both carry their young in a pocket.

Homework is an important part of education. However, what is it about homework? What makes it important?

First, homework helps students learn. Homework produces higher learning ability by asking the student to read the same text many times.

Most of the time, homework will ask students to read other books. So children have to read and understand it by themselves. Sometimes, parents must help children with this type of learning. Children hope to use what they have read to solve questions and problems in the homework.

Good use of homework makes children know that learning can happen with or without the teacher.As homework is finished, students learn to work out their own problems. Most students need a little help now and then, but doing homework is a way that children can learn to take care of themselves. If the student can do his or her own work, it is likely the ability he gets will be good for their future life.

Most homework gives room for additional(額外的) learning. Short answers, long answers and papers provide a way for students to learn things that interest them. Science can give the student a chance to go deeper into a field and have a better understanding. These things are almost impossible within the classroom education. If the project is done by a group, the students will also learn cooperation(合作).

Good study skills students get from homework and test preparation can be used easily in most work places.

As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm. __by miles of winding stone walls, the house provided endless hours of for a city kid.

I can still remember one afternoon I was eight years old. I’d wanted more than anything to be to climb the walls surrounding the farm. The walls were old；some stones were _ , others loose.

Peter Onruang, a Hollywood businessman, has paid $310,000 to clone his best friend Wolfie, a lovely dog. He said, “Wolfie was more than just a pet to me.” Wolfie died two years ago, at the age of 15. But long before she and her sister Bubble passed away, Onruang had plans to bring them back to life. Onruang said, “I buried them at home. Each time I visit them, I say, ‘Hi, I’m making a new body for you.’”

Finally, Onruang found the South Korean biotechnology company RNL Bio, which can and will clone animals. Onruang collected his dogs’ stem cells (干細(xì)胞), and then he started a website MyFriendAgain.com, so he could earn and save the $310,000 that the cloning would cost.

The new dogs should look identical (完全相同的) to Wolfie and Bubble. When the cloning process is done, Onruang may end up with several clones of each dog. But Onruang admits he’s still not sure that they will be exactly the same.

Scientists cloned the first animal, a sheep named Dolly, in 1996 in Scotland. That project has raised ethical (倫理的) questions about where science should draw the line. Another question is whether such technique will lead to a day when humans could be cloned.

“If I had an opportunity to clone myself, I would do it readily,” Onruang said. “Because it’s me, I’m raising myself. I have already known exactly my strengths and weaknesses. This person is going to be the new and improved me, and will live the life I’ve always wanted to live.”

1.Onruang started the website MyFriendAgain.com in order to .

A. encourage more people to clone their pets

B. draw people’s attention to cloning

C. collect his dog’s stem cells

D. raise money to pay for the cloning

2.The purpose of the fourth paragraph is to tell us .

A. when and where scientists cloned the first sheep Dolly

B. people are in favor of the clone technology

C. there are arguments about the clone technology

D. cloning will be of great benefit to humans

3.What is Onruang’s attitude towards cloning humans?

A. He doesn’t care about it.

B. He is enthusiastic about it.

C. He strongly opposes it.

D. He never thinks about it.
