【推荐1】The koala

Appearance: The koala with thick hair looks cute but it has very sharp teeth and claws（爪子）. The male koala is larger than the female one.

Size: 70-90cm Weight: 5-14kg

Food: The koala eats eucalyptus leaves (桉树叶). Each koala eats about 500 grams of leaves per day.

Habit: The koala sleeps for up to 16-18 hours. It prefers to move around in the evening.

Baby fact: A healthy female koala can have one child each year. A baby koala is very small when it is born—only a quarter of an inch. It has no hair and it can’t see either. It lives in its mother’s pouch (育儿袋) for half a year. During this time, it only drinks its mother’s milk.

Danger: The number of koalas in Australia is getting smaller every year, mainly because of people. People cut down a lot of trees, so many koalas have no places to live in and they don’t have enough leaves to eat. There are fewer than 100,000 koalas in the world. Some scientists say if people don’t protect them, we won’t have any koalas within 30 years.

【推荐3】Kindergartens may teach you very important things you need to know. Dancy, a 5-year-old boy, saved his father's life with the skills he learned.

The boy's father became seriously ill on the way home from a father-son shopping. He couldn't speak and could hardly move, but he tried hard to stop the car safely. At that point, Dancy used his father's phone to call his mother for help. The 5-year-old boy tried his best to give her useful information and he was able to tell where they were. Just as he had learned in kindergarten, Dancy read the letters he saw on a nearby store sign:" F, U, R, N, I, T, U, R, E. " But that wasn't enough for his mother to find them. Then he added that they were near a bridge. Finally, his mother understood he was talking about a store called Furniture 22 on New Jersey's Route 22. The mother called 911 and the father was saved in time.

"He just thought his dad needed help," Dancy's mother told the reporter. She also pointed out that her husband was a hero, too. "It's surprising for him to get off the highway and get himself and his child to safety even when he was so sick," she said.

Shine, head of the kindergarten, felt proud of his pupil. "Dancy's spelling skills helped him seize(抓住)the moment, " he said. "And that's the real value of education."
