When you visit Taiwan，Green Island is a wonderful place not to be missed.
Green Island，with clear blue water around it，is an island in the Pacific Ocean,33 kilometers east of Taitung. The old name for Green Island was Huoshandao，meaning “fireburning island”. The island got its name because people on the island used to set up fires at night to help people who went fishing home. Another story goes that in the Qing Dynasty there was a fire and most of the island’s trees and grass died. The coastline(海岸) of the island is only 20 kilometers long，the tallest mountain is only 281 meters high and the island is only 15 km2，but it is attracting(吸引) a growing number of tourists.
Green Island has a lot of interests that make it a place where people like to go：seaside，a clean white beach，green grasslands，seawater，hot springs，beautiful undersea sights，and a great many plants and animals. Another thing of Green Island that people are interested in is its rocks in different shapes. “Sleeping Beauty” and “Pekinese Dog” are the two most strangely shaped ones. There are also other interests which one cannot miss. The green hills，blue sea，clear sky，and ocean gentle winds make a “must” for you.

Last Friday after I got my pay, I went shopping on my way home. In the crowded supermarket, I lost my purse and my money was gone with it. I felt very angry and sad. We were not rich and the money was important for us. How could I tell my wife about it?
I felt really sorry for losing the money. When I got home, I cleaned the house and prepared a nice meal. I hoped what I did could comfort(安慰) my wife. When she came back, she was surprised to see the clean house and the nice meal. Then I began to tell my story when we were at table, but my wife didn't respond (反映) as if she had not heard my words. Maybe she was trying hard to hide her anger, I thought.
“I've lost my pay." I said to her again.
“I see.” She didn't seem to be angry with me. For a moment, she said nothing but enjoyed the meal with me.
“I've lost my money," I could not help asking, “why don't you blame (責(zé)備) me?"
“Oh, my dear," she raised her eyes, looked at me and said, "I'm thinking about how to comfort you. It's the thief who is to be blamed!"

boomerang

 
The Aborigines (澳洲土著) have lived in Australia for about 60,000 years. They painted pictures inside caves, and these are the rock paintings that have given us so much information about Aboriginal life. For example, some of the paintings that are about 10,000 years old show men with boomerangs. From this we know that the Aborigines started using boomerangs for hunting at that time. Other pictures show kangaroos, so we know that there were kangaroos at that time.

The Aborigines believed that spirits made people, animals and plants, and that these spirits still live in the earth. For Aborigines, no one can own the earth—the earth belongs to the spirits.
In 1700, there were many Aboriginal groups with a population of 750,000 all over Australia, and there were probably more than 240 different Aboriginal languages. The groups did not have a leader. Instead, things were decided by the older men in a group. People from different groups often travelled hundreds of miles to meet each other.
Aboriginal life changed when an English boat arrived in Australia in 1770. Many Aborigines were killed in the wars that they had with the English. More Europeans came, and they started taking land from the Aborigines. The Europeans also brought new illnesses that killed the Aborigines. The result is that today there are only about 300,000 Aborigines in Australia.
小題1: The Aborigines painted pictures       .
A．on animals’ furB．on the land
C．on the treeD．on the rock
小題2: What do you think the Aborigines used boomerangs to do?
A．To paint.B．To hunt.C．To fight.D．To play.
小題3:. The Aborigines thought        were the most important on the earth.
A．peopleB．a(chǎn)nimals C．spiritsD．plants
小題4: In an Aboriginal group        decided things.
A．the older menB．the leader
C．the EnglishD．the Europeans
小題5:The number of the Aborigines is small today       .
A．because their living condition was very bad
B．because the English killed a lot of them in the wars
C．because of the new illnesses the Europeans brought them
D．because of the wars and the new illnesses
