Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）

Australia is almost as large as China（China is about 9,600,000 km2 while Australia is 7,682,300 km2）,but Australia has a much smaller population（just over 19. 5 million）. Most people live in cities along the coast of Australia, and huge areas of the rest of Australia are uninhabited（无人居住的）. In some areas, families live a long way away from one another and from towns and cities. Australians call this part of the country "the Out back（内陆）"or "the Bush". Most people who live in the outback work on huge sheep or cattle stations（农场）.Some of these properties are as large as 3,000~5,000 km2 and their nearest neighbours may be 100 km or more away.

Many children in the outback are too far from town to travel to school. Instead, they attend one of the sixteen Schools of the Air. The schools are located in towns and teachers use high frequency radio to talk to their classes. They also post work to the students who post it back for their teacher to mark. Students also use the Internet, fax and phone to communicate with their teacher and with other students. Sometimes students are sent a video or audiotape to help them with their lessons.

Tim Benton's brother George is the manager of a large cattle station in the Northern Territory. When they were in primary school, George's children, Rebecca and Oliver, attended the Alice Spring School of the Air. Their mother and father took it in turns to help them with their lessons. After they finished primary school, Rebecca and Oliver went to a high school in Alice Springs. They lived with their Aunt Mary during the school term and returned home during the school holidays. At first, high school was difficult because they weren't used to being in a class with other students. In some subjects, they did not know as much as the children from the town. However, they soon caught up because they had very good study skills, thanks to the School of the Air.

1.Where do most Australians live?

___________________________________________

2.Where did Rebecca and Oliver live when they attended primary school?

__________________________________________

3.Where did they live when they attended high school?

_________________________________________

4.Which subjects do you think would be hardest to study at home?

Almost all Chinese parents want their kids to succeed in the future, so they make their kids learn all kinds of subjects after school. Though most kids are very young, they still spend much time on their homework and after-class activities. They nearly have no time to do sports and housework or anything else.

Each year, 80 percent of parents spend at least 6,000 yuan on different classes for their kids.

For example, young kids have to learn English, swimming, painting and so on to follow their parents' wishes. Most of the parents think that early learning is good for kids. Most kids who go to after-class activities are under 6 years old.

The famous expert Lisa says, "Although learning different kinds of subjects is important for kids, it's more important to make them have a happy childhood. Parents should spend more time having fun with their kids, not just making them stay in the classrooms.”

Canada is the second-largest country in the world, with almost 10 million square kilometres of landmass. Due to(由于) its size, it is divided into four different regions(地区).

The Atlantic Provinces

Fishing is the old industry in this region. Agricultural crops, such as fruit and potatoes, and forests, which produce paper and lumber(木材), form part of the industry. Traditionally depending on fishing and farming, they are developing other natural resources, such as oil and copper.

Central Canada

Ontario and Quebec form the industrial and manufacturing(制造业的) heart of Canada. They produce three quarters of Canada’s goods. More than half of Canada’s population lives in the cities in the southern part of Ontario and Quebec. Most of the people living in Quebec speak French.

The West Coast

The British Columbia Coast is Canada’s western continental coastline(海岸线 ). Europeans settled(定居) in British Columbia in the early 1800s. The railroad built by the government in the late 1800s made moving much easier. Thousands of Chinese came to British Columbia during this period to work on the railroad. British Columbia has the　　　　　　　　　　　　　 most valuable forest industry in Canada.

Salmon(鲑鱼) fishing is not only a popular sport, but also an important part of the industry. Pacific salmon are exported(出口) all over the world.

The North

The Yukon and the Northwest Territories(领土) cover a third of Canada. This huge region has a very small population. Most of the people are natives. There are several native languages, which are equal(平等的) in status(地位) to English and French. During the Gold Rush at the end of the 1800s, thousands of miners(矿工) came to make their fortune(财富). Mining is still an important industry in this region.

Garbage(垃圾) Island

You can’t see it from the air. It’s almost impossible to see from a ship. But somewhere in the North Pacific is a huge island of garbage, just below the water surface.

What is the island made of?

The garbage island is not an island, but a collection of millions of plastic and other objects. The water movements of Pacific Ocean bring the objects together and cause them to go around in a big circle.

Charles Moore found it in 1997 and named it “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch” .

Where does all the plastic come from?

Much of the garbage comes from everyday objects, such as shopping bags and water bottles. Some of these objects finally reach the ocean. Garbage from the western coast of North America takes about six years to reach it. Objects from East Asia take about a year. Other garbage comes from ships passing through the area.

Is the Garbage Patch dangerous?

The larger pieces of garbage are a problem for wildlife. For example, sea turtles（海龟）and seabirds often think the plastic is their food. They eat the plastic and die.

In addition, the plastic stops sunlight from reaching deeper water. Without sunlight, very small sea animals die. Then, there is less food for larger fish to eat.

What can we do to help stop it?

Cleaning up the island isn’t easy. But we can make people realize the problem. One environmentalist(环保主义者), David de Rothschild, is sailing around the world in boat made of plastic bottles to teach people about the problem of garbage in the sea.

Another idea is that we can recycle the plastic garbage. Environmental engineer Cesar Harada is building a robot that collects pieces of plastic. Harada hopes to use his robot in the Pacific. Harada also has a website for reporting environmental problems. He says, “I hope everybody can become an environmental activist.”

1.What is the garbage made of?

2.How long does it take objects from East Asia to reach the island?

3.Is the garbage island dangerous?

4.Why is David de Rothschild sailing in bottle boat?

5.What can you do to help stop garbage island?
