Have you seen koalas (考拉) in a zoo? They are very cute. The koala is a small bear-like, tree-dwelling animal, which averages about 9 kilograms in weight. Its fur is thick and usually ash gray. They come from Australia. They do not come from any other place. Today koalas are mainly found in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. People in Australia want to protect them.

Now there are about 100,000 koalas in Australia. But there are fewer and fewer of them all the time. Some koalas are getting sick. The sickness makes them not able to see. It also makes it hard for them to have babies. Besides, Koalas also live in societies, just like humans, so they need to be able to come into contact with other koalas. It is because of this they need to have areas of suitable forest, which are large enough to support a healthy koala population and to allow expansion by raising young koalas.

But People are building more houses and roads too. This means koalas do not have as many places to live. Some people want the government to do more to take care of the koalas.

【题目】

How to improve my life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it."

Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other outer factors. I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same things cycle follow.

Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting (运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.

Remember that you reap what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don't expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary(临时的) setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.

If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.

【1】According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life _______.

A. doesn't need improving

A. positive B. satisfying C. colorful D. passive

【3】Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?

A. Your temporary problem is not discouraging.

B. Your luck can be changed by your hard work.

C. You can only achieve success when God wills it.

D. You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.

【4】In Para.5, the author emphasized the importance of _______.

A. positive action

B. positive thinking

C. hope for the best
