The Tasmanian devil
The Tasmanian devil is a marsupial
– an animal that feeds and carries its young in a pouch. It lives only in Tasmania and was called
a devil by the early European settlers because of its fierce appearance and
loud screeching.
The devil is the same size as a
small dog. It has a large head, a stocky body and a short, thick tail. While
the fur is mostly black, there are often white markings on the back and chest.
Because the devil is a nocturnal animal (it is active at night), it spends the
days in the dense bush and hunts for food after dark.
While it can catch prey the size
of a small wallaby the devil often feeds on the bodies of dead sheep and cows
from farms. Its very powerful jaws and teeth enable it to eat bones and fur as
well as the meat. Farmers are pleased that devils stop the spread of disease by
removing the rotting bodies of dead animals. Groups of devils eat together from
the same carcass – body of a dead animal – and they are such noisy eaters that
they can be heard for several kilometers.
Devils breed in March and the
young are born in April. While more are born, only two or three babies survive
to live in their mother’s pouch for four months. They move with their mother
into a whole or a hollow log until they are ready to live on their own in the
bush at the end of December. Devils live until they are seven or eight years
old.
Recently adult devils have been
affected by cancer. This begins with lumps around the mouth and spreads to the
face and neck. Scientists are studying the cancers so they can find out the
cause and save the devil population in Tasmania.

Three fish
Once three fish lived
in a pond. One evening, some fishermen passed by the pond and saw the fish.
‘This pond is full of fish’, they told each other excitedly. ‘We have never
fished here before. We must come back tomorrow morning with our nets and catch
these fish!’ So saying, the fishermen left.
When the eldest of the three fish heard this, he was troubled. He called the
other fish together and said, ‘Did you hear what the fishermen said? WE must
leave this pond at once. The fishermen will return tomorrow and kill us all!’
The second of the three fish agreed. ‘You are right’, he said. ‘We must leave
the pond.’
But the youngest fish
laughed. ‘You are worrying without reason’, he said. ‘We have lived in this
pond all our lives, and no fisherman has ever come here. Why should these men
return? I am not going anywhere – my luck will keep me safe’.

one of the most successful fish eating birds.

Australian government system
In Australia, there are three levels
of government, the federal governments, state governments, and local
governments. All of these levels of governments are necessary. This is so for a
number of reasons.
First, the federal government is necessary
for the big things. They keep the economy in order and look after things like
defense.
Similarly, the state governments look
after the middle sized things. For example, they look after law and order,
preventing things like vandalism in schools.
Finally, local governments look after the
small things. They look after things like collecting rubbish, otherwise
everyone would have diseases.
Thus, for the reasons above, we can

Cigarettes,
Smokers, and Smoking
Smoking
is a bad habit that is very hard to break. Smokers are everywhere. Many people
smoke just lo socialize, but many others are too addicted to quit.
A
cigarette is like a toxin hypermarket. You can find many kinds of toxin in it:
acetone, carbon monoxide, tar, arsenic, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and toluene.
The tar itself contains more than 43 substances that can cause cancer.
Scientists say that when we are smoking, we put more than 4,000 kinds of toxic
materials into our body.
However,
many smokers believe that a cigarette with low tar is less dangerous. And so is
a filtered cigarette. But the problem is one cigarette is never enough for
addicted smokers.
Another
myth about smoking is that it cannot only make them awake but also raise their
inspiration. This is contrary lo the findings of a research in California which show
that smoker’s ability to think is lower than (hat of non-smokers.
Smoking
is indeed a serious social problem in our country. The government keeps
reminding that smoking is dangerous, not only for smokers themselves, but also
for other people in the surroundings (passive smokers). But the warnings do not
seem to get any response.
