If you go to Australia, you can see koalas everywhere. They’re a kind of cute animals only to be found in Australia. They are a symbol of Australia. And some of them are sent(被送) to other countries like America, China, France as gifts. But people keep them all in zoos in these countries. You can see them in the wild only in Australia. They have no natural enemies(天敌). The koala’s favorite food is only the leaves of the eucalyptus tree(桉树).
Victoria State is in the southeast of Australia. In Victoria, the koalas are becoming more and more in these years. This is a problem because the koalas nearly eat all the leaves of eucalyptus trees and then they will have nothing to eat.
Last year, people moved 500 koalas to other forests, and now they want to keep the number of koalas down. However, it will be some years before the leaves of eucalyptus trees grow back again.

Every December in London, the National Cage and Aviary Bird Show tries to find the best “talking” bird in the world. One bird named Prudle stood out among the “talking birds”. She won this prize for 12 years from 1965 to 1976.
Prudle was taken from her nest in Uganda in 1958. She was sold to Iris Frost in Seaford, England. Prudle knew almost 800 words in English.
Prudle was also the oldest bird in the world that lived in a cage. Ms. Frost took care of the bird until Prudle died in 1994. Prudle was 35 years old.
A different kind of bird, not a parrot, named Puck was tested in 1993. It turned out that Puck knew more English words than Prudle knew. Puck knew more than 1,700 words.

【推荐3】Bears are dangerous animals. We’d like to see them in movies but not face to face. For this reason, they live in the forest.
The oldest bear is called Ursavus Elmensis. It was similar to a tiger. It was found in Europe and it lived ten million years ago. Over time, it turned into the bear we see now.
Brown Bears are the strongest. They have the largest size and they weigh up to 500 kg to 850 kg. With life conditions and food changing, the weight changes.
Polar Bears are the best swimmers of all kinds of bears. They live near the Arctic Ocean(北冰洋) and have to swim for miles every day in cold water for food..
For the bears, smell and hearing are the most developed. Bears can smell a man about 100 meters away. But their sight isn’t so good. So we can say that their eyesight is weak.

【推荐2】Do you like robots? Robots have become part of our lives. They make our lives easier and more convenient (便利的). From Aug. 23 to Aug. 27, about 1,000 robots came together at the 2017 World Robot Conference (会议) in Beijing. They were from more than 10 countries.
These robots are smart. They have special skills. What can they do? They can do many jobs. Some can take care of your pet. Some can swim. Some even can help with housework.
Rocky is a sweet robot and it can help you look after your pet. When you leave your pet home, maybe your pet feel lonely. Then Rocky can play with your pet. It has 15 servings of food inside. It can feed your pet. Besides, you can video chat with your pet with its help!
Look at this fish-like robot, Hermia. It can swim just like a real fish. With its cameras and LED lights, it can find its way underwater. In the future, scientists hope to use it to find missing (失踪的) people in the sea.
Among these robots, Teotronico is a big star. Teotronico wears a suit and plays the piano. It plays very well. Teotronico has 53 fingers! It plays the piano faster than people. It can also sing and play the drums. Teotronico has video cameras for eyes. So it can “see” and smile at people.
At the conference, there were also many robot competitions. At each competition, robots did different things. Some competitions were for kids. Children made robots by themselves.
I really enjoy making robots myself. I learn a lot of knowledge about math and physics. In the future, maybe people don’t need to make robots. Robots will make robots by themselves!
