On Saturday morning, John got up early to go to a sports club. On his way, he saw three of his schoolmates at the mall, Rie, Asuka and Yuki. They were always together because they were very good friends.
“I'm shopping for new shoes,” Rie told John. “But I have big feet so nothing fits! We have been shopping everywhere but I can't find any big shoes!”
“And we walk very slowly,” Yuki said, “because of Asuka ...”
“I know,” John said, looking at Asuka. “I heard you hurt your knee in P.E. class yesterday. Does it hurt?”
“It's OK if I move very slowly,” Asuka told him. “We are going to eat ice-cream at Dairy Queen. Do you want to come?”

Most of the time, we know what weather is heading our way— thanks to meteorologists (气象学家). Will it be sunny or rainy, hot or cold? Every day, people turn to the TV, computer, or radio to find out. And every day, meteorologists work hard to predict what the weather will be like.
For some, an interest in weather starts early. It did for Samantha Gibbons, a 10-year-old from the USA. She says she loves watching the weather. Every week, Samantha studies the science behind weather through the Internet. In January, she was the youngest kid to attend the 2015 American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting. During the Q&A discussion at the event, she asked the experts how a halo (a ring of light around a moon or sun) appears. One expert answered her question. “I was very excited to take part in the meeting! It was like I was meant to be there,” said Samantha.
Not only does Samantha study the numbers behind weather, but she also practices speaking on air. As a member of her school’s broadcast (电视节目) club, she helps produce the school’s morning programs. “I love being on TV,” she said.
On September 3, 2014, Samantha made her first TV show on NBC Channel 12 in Phoenix, USA. Before her appearance, she woke up at 4 a.m. to arrive at the station by 5:30 a.m., a typical morning for many meteorologists. “To prepare, I practiced in front of the mirror,” said Samantha. “I learned I needed a lot of practice on camera!” Her future plans are simple: do well in school and practice broadcasting. What’s her advice for other kids interested in becoming meteorologists? “Ask lots of questions,” said Samantha. “Always have faith in what you’re doing and keep pursuing (追求) your dream.”

Australia, also known as “the Land Down Under”, is a country, an island and a continent(大陆). It's the world's smallest continent and the sixth largest country. But only about 24 million people live there. The first people there were the Aborigines. In the late 18th century the British arrived. Today the British influence on Australia is still very strong. For example, the national language is English and drivers drive on the left side of the road.
Australia was cut off from the other continents a long time ago, so a lot of Australia's animals, like the koala and the kangaroo aren't found anywhere else in the world. Australia also has some of the most dangerous animals in the world. There are poisonous(有毒的) snakes and spiders. In the north there are huge saltwater crocodiles, and in the sea, around the coast, there are sharks and poisonous jellyfish.
The largest city in Australia is Sydney with its famous Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The 2000 Summer Olympics were held in Sydney. But Sydney isn't the capital of Australia. The capital is Canberra.
Australia is a huge country, but most Australians live in the south-east corner between Sydney and Melbourne. This is because most of the land is very dry. Australians call this dry area the outback. There are some huge farms there with millions of sheep. The children who live on these farms can't go to school, because the nearest town is too far away. They study at home with the School of the Air. They used to talk to their teachers by the radio and, nowadays, on the Internet. There is also a “flying doctor” service. The doctor comes to the outback by plane.
【1】What's the population of Australia?
__________________________________________
【2】What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
__________________________________________
【3】Is Harbour Bridge in Sydney or Canberra?
__________________________________________
【4】In which part of the country do most Australians live?
__________________________________________
【5】Where do children living in the outback study?
