Although it is often called the koala “bear”, this lovely animal is not actually a bear at all. It is a marsupial (有袋目哺乳动物)，and like kangaroos, a female koala carries her baby in her pouch (育儿袋）for about six months.
Koalas live in four states only in eastern Australia, where the eucalyptus (桉树）trees they love are most plentiful. In fact, they rarely leave these trees, their sharp claws easily keeping them high up in the air.
During the day they sleep for up to 18 hours. When not asleep, they feed on eucalyptus leaves, especially at night. Koalas do not drink much water and they get most of their water from these leaves. Each animal eats a large amount for its size — about two and a half pounds of leaves a day, even storing snacks of leaves in pouches.
The koala bears were widely hunted during the 1920s and 1930s and their populations decreased suddenly. Helped by reintroduction, they have reappeared over much of their former range, but their populations are smaller. Koalas need a lot of space — about a hundred trees per animal — which is a pressing problem, as Australia’s woodlands continue to get smaller because the trees they live on are being cut down to make farms. Also, forest fires, caused by heat waves, are destroying the forests the koalas live in.
It has been estimated (估算）that there are only 100,000 koalas left in the wild, with the lowest estimates being no more than 43,000. The koala can only eat eucalyptus leaves and lives nowhere else except Australia, so in order to survive, human effect on its limited environment must be controlled, or this attractive creature faces certain extinction.
1. What can be learned about koalas? A. They eat most of the day. B. They feed on eucalyptus leaves. C. They belong to the bear family. D. They use the pouch to store water. 2 What happened during the 1920s and 1930s? A. Koalas’ populations fell slowly. B. Koalas had enough space to live in. C. Koalas faced great danger. D. Koalas got well preserved. 3. Why are koalas in danger of dying out? A. Many of them died in fire.
B. They can’t adapt to the global warming.
C. Farmers are burning the eucalyptus trees koalas live on. D. Their living environment is gradually being worsened. 4. What will the author most probably talk about next?
A. How to reduce human effect on koalas’ living environment. B. How to help koalas get used to new living environment. C. How to make good use of limited environment. D. How to increase koalas’ populations.

ALL NEW!
REPTILE(爬行动物)PETTING ZOO at the Oak Park Nature Centre
Kids! Are you tired of Mom or Dad dragging you to the same old petting zoos, where (if you’re lucky) you might get to touch a little rabbit or goat?
Mom or Dad! Are you tired of hearing your kids complain about how animals in the same old petting zoos are monotonous? Consider This:
The fact is that most mammals are boringly warm, furry, and come in a limited range of dull colors. Reptiles, on the other hand, are cold-blooded and covered with scales (鱗)of attractive colors, from bright green to bright red to dark purple-red. Some, like the chameleon, can even CHANGE colors. Did you ever see a rabbit with scales and a purple tongue almost as long as its body? NO! In our zoo, you can see pet skinks (蜥蜴), snakes, bearded dragons, and other fascinating creatures! Learn what these reptiles eat and how they care for their babies, which ones live in the desert and which live in wetlands, which ones are meat-eaters and which are vegetarians (素食动物), which ones are deadly poisonous and which are not. So Remember:
If you’re bored with furry animals like rabbits… Then the place for YOU is the Reptile Petting Zoo!
Bring the WHOLE family — Grandpa, Grandma, Cousin Irene, even baby Joe! There’s something for EVERYONE!
