Round eyes, round head, round ears, round body! What is this lovely little animal?
It looks like a bear. But it is not a bear. It’s a koala.
People in Australia love koalas and take care of them. They have set up places for them to live safely. No one can kill them for their pretty fur.
When a koala is born, it has no fur. And it is not as big as your little toe(脚趾)! The mother koala has a pouch(育儿袋) in the front of her body. The baby goes into this warm pouch. There it stays for about six months.
The koala could not live without a special kind of tree. The tree gives it both its home and its food. For most of the day the koala sleeps in the tree. At night the koala looks for food. It may go miles to find it. It likes the leaves of the tree. It eats more than two pounds each night!

【推荐1】Dragonflies fly around in the morning or evening of summer, but how much do you know about us?
Why are dragonflies in a hurry?
Most dragonflies live for only a few months as grow-ups, so we fly around looking for food. The largest dragonfly can fly 40 to 60 kilometers per hour, making us the fastest flying insects(昆虫).

3, You can find us in almost every country of the world.

【推荐2】In many parts of the world, spring is in full bloom. Flowers of all colors and shapes can be seen everywhere. They make our world look and smell better. So, it is no surprise that people love flowers! Well… except for one —dandelions(蒲公英)!
There is probably no flower more hated or misunderstood than the bright yellow dandelions. In order to have a tidy garden, we try our best to kill all dandelions or dig them out—only to see these unwanted plants grow right back. But that’s not bad because we have good reasons to leave them alone.
In fact, the most hated flower on Earth is one of the healthiest to eat. A 2014 study lists dandelions as one of the top 41 healthiest foods. Coming in at number 16, the wild growing “weed” topped popular healthy like broccoli and kale. Dandelions are full of vitamins K, A, E and C. They have long been used as medicine.
Another great thing about dandelions is that you can eat every part of them—from the bottom of the roots to the top of the flower, either cooked or uncooked. You can also put the flowers or roots in hot water to make dandelion tea. Great! Nothing goes to waste!
Besides, dandelions are fun for kids! Pick the white top, close your eyes, make a wish and blow! If you blow all of it in one breath, your wish will come true. This game is played all over the world.
Still unwanted plants? Of course not! Dandelions are good for human health as well as our kitchen. They also offer kids free toys! So next time when you are blowing them, blow harder—you’re helping this great plant grow in the wild, even if your own wish does not come true!
