My grandparents moved to a new neighbourhood last month. The new neighbourhood is very good for people’s life.

There is a big park on the right of the neighbourhood. After dinner, people often come to the park to have a rest. When you go into the park, on the right of the square, you can see some old women dance to the music. There is a long river and a swimming pool in the park. You can boat or swim there. On the left of the neighbourhood, there is a sports club. Some children can play Taiquandao and dance in it. Some adults（成年人）can also take all kinds of activities, such as running, going cycling and doing yoga（瑜伽）.

Inside the house, people can have a bath easily. They can use hot water at any time. Why? Because there is something special on the top of the building. They can use the solar energy（太阳能）to get hot water for people to have a bath or cook. The building is always cool in summer and warm in winter. People here don’t use the electric fan（电扇）or the air condition（空调）inside it.

Now our country is asking people to save energy（能量）. This neighbouhood is a perfect neighbourhood for all the people in China.

The Sunday Mail magazine interviewed some parents about whether children should do chores at home. Different people have different opinions.

    Ms Miller thinks that kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. When kids get older, they will have to do housework. So there is no need for them to do it now. She thinks that doing chores is not so difficult.

However, Mr. Smith disagrees with her. He thinks it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It’s not enough to just get good grades at school. (83) Children these days depend on their parents too much. Doing chores helps to develop children’sindependence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Everyone should do their part in keeping the house clean and tidy. (84) The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

You can see kangaroos everywhere in Australia．They appear on TV, in books and, in the shops．The government even plans to put them on passports．[103]Although it's the best loved animal in Australia, millions of kangaroos are killed every year．Why, people ask, do the Australians kill them? Quite simple, there are too many of them．

The number of kangaroos in Australia is believed to be 20—25 million．It is larger than the number of people living in the country．

There are several reasons for the growth in the number of kangaroos．There is plenty of water in the places where kangaroos live and many of the dingoes (澳洲野狗) that like to kill and eat kangaroos are not there anymore．

Kangaroos also produce (产生) the young all the year round．When a female (雌的) kangaroo gives birth , she then gets pregnant (怀孕) again immediately．The large number of kangaroos means some kangaroos don't get food to eat．They are so hungry that they break into farms and fight against other animals for food．

[104]To solve the problem, the Australian government allows a certain number of kangaroos to be killed each year．

Many people don't think that it's right to kill kangaroos but the government thinks that it is only to help the farmers．Australia sells 5 million kilos of kangaroo meat every year—it is used to make hamburgers for dogs．
