also made me curious about other peoples challenges and how they managed.Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage,my mind lit up with every new book.True to what the doctor said,the worst

October.But that decision has been put off.Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koalas population.In September,an Australian Senate committee reported that there was no question the koalas population is on the decrease.“But they may not yet be eligible(符合条件的)for listing as a threatened species,said Senator Doug Cameron.“To have such a significant Australian icon(偶像)included on the threatened species list would be a national shame.The koala is found only in the eucalyptus(桉树)forests of Australia.And its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons,including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings development，their own illness，climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs.And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads.Putting off the decision on protection for the koala“is really bad news,said Debbie Pointing,the president of the Koala Action Group.“Weve worked tirelessly for many years to gather data on the populations,Pointing said.“That data should be enough to make a decision.However,Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least$6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996.Senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queenslandthe construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads,to keep the animals out of harms way.Some people say that is not enough.“What were doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction,Queensland University zoologist Bill Ellis said.“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal，Burke told Australians.“They hold a special place in the hearts of Australians.单位：乙州丁厂七市润芝学校 时间：2022 年 4 月 12 日 创编者：阳芡明 单位：乙州丁厂七市润芝学校 时间：2022 年 4 月 12 日

1505,is getting worse by the year,according to the Louvre Museum(卢浮宫博物馆)where it is housed.“The thin,wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,the museum said.Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the worlds most famous painting is not easy.Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current(如今的)chemical state.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year,and many are attracted by the mystery of her smile.“It is very interesting that when youre not looking at her,she seems to be smiling,and then you look at her and she stops,said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University.“Its because direct vision(视觉)is excellent at picking up details,but less suited to look at shadows.Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.However,the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile.Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him,until it was eventually sold to Frances King Francis in 1169.In 1911,the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee,who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat.He said he planned to return it to Italy.The painting was sent back to France two years later.During World War,French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old
