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

Life in the twenty-first century
The World Future Society is a group of people from more than 80 countries who are interested in how modern technology is making our world better, and who write reports about how it will change our lives.                                                                                                                                            The things that we will be able to do in the twenty-first century (since the year 2000) should help us live better lives in many ways, at home and at work, in our own country and around the world.

Money
Worldwide e-business will become even more successful with online shops that sell special products for each person, which will be brought to their house the next day.

Very, very small machines could take away rubbish, make things in factories, and help inside the human body by taking away fat.

    Studying abroad is an amazing experience, especially when you come to Australia as an overseas( 外國的 ) high school student. You can have a lot of fun here, especially on holidays.
There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one is obviously Christmas. Each year, the summer holidays at every high school last about two months from the beginning of December to February, which covers the Christmas time. Since it is a long holiday, most overseas students love to fly back to their home countries to spend the time with their fami­lies and friends, but a few students still stay in Australia during the holiday to get part-time jobs. It is quite easy to find a part-time job at Christmas. Students often take part in another major social activity. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine. The summer in Australia is from December to February, so going to the beach in December is very popular among Australians.
Easter in March is another important holiday in the year. It actually combines(使聯(lián)合) “Good Friday” and “Easter Monday”. Almost every shop closes on Good Friday. And people usually go to see Easter Show.
The Chinese New year is not a public holiday in Australia, so every Chinese student still has to go to school to study and do his or her normal duties.
