Some years ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my friend, Chris. We decided to drive across country to Brisbane to visit another friend after the meeting ended.
The first day we were excited and laughed at each other’s jokes. By the third day of driving in the endless desert, we began to get bored. We had been quiet for a few hours when suddenly Chris saw some kangaroos. We were both excited and decided to get a closer look. Chris accelerated to catch up with the kangaroos. We got closer and closer, and Chris was doing 110 kilometers per hour. We were very close to the kangaroos—too close—when we heard a loud BANG!
Chris stopped the car and we got out. Behind the car was a large kangaroo lying still on the ground. Chris went over to the kangaroo and put his baseball cap on its head. He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket. Then he put his arm around the kangaroo and told me to take a photo of them together. I was still in shock, but I took out my camera. While I was taking the photo, I saw the kangaroo move. It suddenly woke up, looked at Chris, and jumped away into the distance before we could do anything.
I started laughing but Chris looked very serious. He said his purse and passport(护照) were in the jacket. I started laughing even harder. I stopped laughing, however, when he said our car keys were also in the jacket.

Can you swim? Swimming is one of the most popular activities in summer. It can be learned early in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However, I believe that five is the best age to learn it. By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. It’s wise to be afraid. The young understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.
When you swim, you should follow certain rules:
★ Never swim alone! No matter how good you are in the water, don’t risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by yourself, you may get into trouble.
★ Don’t go beyond your abilities. Most swimmers know it clearly not to swim too far from the bank or the beach.
★ Don’t show off your skills by doing dangerous tricks.
★ Don't smoke. Swimming depends on a healthy body.
