Some are native(当地的) to Australians and can only be found there. There are more than 500 animals there, including kangaroos, koalas(考拉)and crocodiles(鳄鱼).They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo. In zoos, most of the animals are in cages(笼子).We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We could touch and feel them. It was very exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly(令人想拥抱的). Although we couldnt carry koalas, I could take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir(纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater crocodiles and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are very big and scary(吓人的)with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.There was also a bird show. The keepers(饲养员)showed us different species(种类)of birds.

My husband said he didnt mind, but I knew he still hoped I had a beautiful body. Everything from my waist(腰部) to my legs was overweight. Finally, just after Christmas last year, I decided that something had to be done.I met Dr. Wallace, and she told me I had to stop eating fast foods. It was very hard for me because I was eating them three of four times a week：pizza，hamburgers，whatever I could get. But I said to myself at the start that I would try my best to do itand I did. I even gave up the boozesomething I used to have two glasses of it with dinner.My best friend, Rachel Waterman, said I had to walk 10,000 steps every day. That was very hard for me at the beginning. I was used to driving everywhere, but I started to walk everywhere instead. I walked in the morning before work，and I usually took a walk in the park with my husband after work. Now I never go to bed until Ive done my 10,000 steps.Six months has passed, and I made it. Last week, my husband bought me an MP4 as a gift.  the weight is wonderfulI feel like a different person now, and I can buy my favorite clothes in the shops. I am so proud of myself because everyone thought I wouldnt be able to make it including myself.I love my new body, and Ill never let myself go back into my old ways.1.When did the woman decide to lose her weight?A. After she had a baby.    B. After Christmas last year.C. Before Christmas last year.    D. When she got a gift from her husband.2.The underlined word “booze” in Paragraph 2 means _.A. wine    B. meat    C. vegetables    D. fast foods3What can make the woman overweight according to this passage?A. Pizza, vegetables and wine.    B. Pizza, hamburgers and wine.C. Pizza, vegetables and water.    D. Pizza, hamburgers and tea.4.Why did the womans husband get an MP4 for her?A. Because it was Dr. Wallaces suggestion.B. Because her husband liked it.C. Because it was a gift for her success in losing weight.D. Because she asked her husband for it several times.【答案】BABC CEveryone may meet a person like this.He can eat more than his usual amount of beer,an Italian pizza,an ice cream,and a big sweet cookie.The next morning he remains to be there without putting on a pound in weight. A new study shows that peoples bodies act to the same food in very different ways.“Even if you give two people just the same diet(饮食),they wont necessarily weigh the same.”says Dr.Judith Kroner,director at the Weight Control Center at Columbia University Medical Center.Good genes(基因)work greatly.You think you eat the healthy diet,but you are still not happy with the way your body looks when you keep your healthy diet,that is because of your mom and dad.Dr.Kroner says your gene decides your weight first.If you try to change that weight,your body surely fights against it.You may feel surprised that some people around you are thin,though they eat much.Thats because theyre eating less energy foods.It can look like someones eating a lot ,they have a big bowl in front of them, but the bowl may be full of vegetables,chicken,and no spices(调料).It looks like theyre just eating and eating and eating,but their foods are lower in energy than you think.Now you see,when people say they eat whatever they want without putting on weight.Theyre not lying.So please remember,the best diet is always the one that works for you,not someone elses plan.1.What can you learn from Kroners words?A. People should be given the same diet every day.B. People should eat much more food than usual.C. People put on different weights from the same food.D. People will have the same weight with the same food.2.Dr.Kroner thinks that        decides your weight first.A. your sports    B. your sleep    C. your diet    D. your genes3.Which of the following is True according to the passage?A. The thin people are eating less in their real life.B. The thin people like to use the big bowl for food.C. Less energy food is the first choice for the thin people.D. People surely put on weight after eating much food.【答案】CDC三、 阅读填空。 Four good friends Mouse，Crow，Turtle and Deer lived in the forest.Every day they met at the lake and told each other interesting stories .One day Deer did not come to the lake to drink water.The other three were worried.“I saw a hunter（猎人）in the forest this morning，" said Crow. “I'm afraid Deer might be hurt.”“Fly over the forest，Crow，"said Mouse.
