  The red kangaroo(袋鼠)is a famous special Australian animal. It moves by jumping on its long hind legs. Its long, heavy tail helps it keep its balance(平衡). If it is run after, a large kangaroo can reach a speed(速度)of 40 kilometers an hour. One jump may be 8 meters long and up to 3 meters high.

  The red kangaroo is found mainly in the dry grasslands of Australia. It usually travels in small groups. Each group has about 12 kangaroos.

  When a baby red kangaroo is born, it weighs only 28 grams! After being born, it crawls(爬行)through the mother's fur(毛皮)to her pouch. In hard times, the mother kangaroo can stop the baby from being born till there is enough grass for her to eat.

  The mother feeds the baby called ajoeywith milk from her body. The joey will spend at least a year in the pouch.

  If a kangaroo is being run after and cannot ran away, it will turn and fight. It will lean back on its tail and kick with its hind legs. These legs are very, very Strong and have large claws. The front legs are used to hold, not to box with, as you often see in cartoons.

  Kangaroos can live for up to 20 years. A kangaroo never stops growing bigger, so an old kangaroo can be very large. There are probably millions of kangaroos of all types in Australia. They are the very important food for aborigines(土著居民)

阅读短文,根据要求完成下面各小题。

You can see kangaroos everywhere in Australia.They appear on TV, in books and, in the shops.The government even plans to put them on passports.[3]Although it's the best loved animal in Australia, millions of kangaroos are killed every year.Why, people ask, do the Australians kill them? Quite simple, there are too many of them.

The number of kangaroos in Australia is believed to be 20—25 million.It is larger than the number of people living in the country.

There are several reasons for the growth in the number of kangaroos.There is plenty of water in the places where kangaroos live and many of the dingoes (澳洲野狗) that like to kill and eat kangaroos are not there anymore.

Kangaroos also produce (产生) the young all the year round.When a female (雌的) kangaroo gives birth , she then gets pregnant (怀孕) again immediately.The large number of kangaroos means some kangaroos don't get food to eat.They are so hungry that they break into farms and fight against other animals for food.

[4]To solve the problem, the Australian government allows a certain number of kangaroos to be killed each year

Many people don't think that it's right to kill kangaroos but the government thinks that it is only to help the farmers.

Australia sells 5 million kilos of kangaroo meat every year—it is used to make hamburgers for dogs.
