Koala Joey

Far away in Australia, a koala sits high in a eucalyptus tree. She grips a branch with the rough pads and sharp claws on her paws. In her pouch (小袋) she hides something special—her baby.
At birth the baby koala, called a joey, does not look like his furry mom. He is pink and bald(无毛的)and as small as a jellybean. Although he cannot see, he moves his legs and crawls. He smells milk and, without any help, starts to feel his way to his mother's pouch. Five minutes later he slips (滑) inside.
Inside the pouch, the joey drinks his mother's milk and grows. His eyes open. His ears form, and he hears his mother's calls. Soon thick fur covers his body. By the time the joey is ready to explore the world, he looks like his mother.

At five months old, the joey peers out of his pouch. He eats a special soft food from his mother called pap. When the joey eats pap, he gets bacteria(细菌)from his mother's stomach in his tummy too. He will need the bacteria to eat eucalyptus leaves, like grownup koalas do.
In another month, the joey leaves the pouch for the first time. He clings(贴着)to his mother's belly while she climbs in the treetops. By the time he is eight months old, the joey no longer fits in his mother's pouch. But he still drinks her milk.
Now, for a few hours each night, the joey climbs on his mother's back for a ride. While riding piggyback, he reaches for eucalyptus leaves. Just like mom, he nips (咬) off leaves and chews them. The leaves have plenty of water in them, so koalas rarely go to the ground for a drink. When the joey is about one year old, his piggyback days are over. Now he climbs to the treetops by himself. On each of his front paws, he has two thumbs opposite his three fingers. He can grip branches and grab leaves. The young koala spends more and more time away from his mother. He no longer drinks her milk. He dozes (打瞌睡,打盹) alone on tree branches. Soon he will move to another tree and live on his own.

Biting could be worrying
It makes our fingers look ugly. It's dirty. It could hurt a lot. But many people just can't stop doing it: biting their nails.
Up to 45 percent of teenagers in the UK bite their nails, the BBC reported. There are also many famous nail biters, including ex-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and American singer Britney Spears.
There's nothing wrong with biting nails to keep them tidy. But it could get out of control.
Some people bite a nail not because it's too long, but because they are driving, reading, feeling stressed out, or just have nothing else to do.
The same could happen to skin picking and hair pulling. A normal behavior could become “pathological”(病态的), as experts say.
In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association labeled (把……列为) nail biting as an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). People with this disorder may wash their hands too many times or have to line up their shoes in a certain way.
These behaviors have a lot in common. OCD is doing something normal and healthy too much, NPR reported.
But nail biting is different from other OCD behaviors in at least one way.
“In OCD, the behavior is really unwanted,” Carol Mathews, a psychiatrist(精神病医生)at the University of California, San Francisco, told NPR. People with OCD don't want to wash their hands over and over again. There is no fun in it. They just fear that if they don't do something, something else that's very bad will happen to them.
But nail biters enjoy it.
“It's rewarding. When you get the right nail, it feels good,” said Mathews.
Therefore some people argue that most nail biters are not having a problem as serious as a mental (心理的) disorder.
But anyway, it's still a bad habit. So what can we do to stop it?
Since most people bite nails as a way of relieving (缓解) stress, finding another way to relieve that stress could be useful, suggested Rochelle Torgerson, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in the US. Try playing with your pen instead.
Besides, nail biters feel the urge (刺激,冲动) to bite if they find a small imperfect part of the nail, said Mathews. So always keep your nails in good shape.

(1)What does the phrase obsessive-compulsive disorder in Paragraph 6 mean?
A.An activity that people enjoy doing it.
B.A kind of behavior that people is really wanted.
C.A way of doing something that people does it normal and healthy.
D.A mental disorder that people are unable to control the thoughts or the activities.
(2)How is nail biting different from other OCD behaviors?
A.People do it over and over again.
B.People do it happily and willingly.
C.It does no harm to people's health.
D.It is a physical and mental problem.
(3)What do doctors suggest people do to stop nail biting?
A.Pick skin or pull hair instead.
B.Force them to control the urge to bite.
C.Keep them busy and forget about nails.
D.Find some other ways to release their stress.
