[01:43.37]Xiaohong:I don't think so.She's bleeding.Let's send her to the doctor's,shall we?
[01:49.61]LiMeng:I wish I had learned how to drive.

[03:25.92]Doctor:I should think so.But you'll have to receive an injection.
[03:31.38](LiMeng and Mr.Davis are waiting outside)
[03:37.26]LiMeng:That was a mean dog.
[03:41.81]If the owner knew that,I don't think he or she would keep a dog like that.
[03:48.26]Mr.Davis:A dog like that shouldn't run wild.
[03:52.62]6.Listen,read and answer the following questions in pairs.
[04:00.80]Keeping a pet
[04:04.45]It was a sunny day.John and his mother went to a free market.
[04:11.40]After looking at several lanes of goods,they came to a pet's counter,
[04:18.17]on which there were many beautiful pets.
[04:22.71]There were puppies,kittens,birds,fish,turtles,bunnies,and parrots.
[04:31.26]Looking at the adorable pets,
[04:35.62]John could not help asking his mum to buy a puppy2 for him.
[04:41.18]Mum thought for a while and then asked John:
[04:45.73]"Are you prepared to keep a puppy?""Yes."
[04:51.60]"Do you want to feed the puppy and clean his"room"every day?""Yes."
[04:58.74]"In that case,I can buy one for you.
[05:03.57]But remember keeping a pet involves many responsibilities."
[05:10.41]"What are the responsibilities?"
[05:14.36]"You need to feed the puppy twice a day and walk it at least once a day.
[05:21.52]You can't let your dog sit on his tail all day.
[05:26.37]You should make sure he exercises daily
[05:30.95]and bring him outside four or five times to poop or pee.
[05:36.69]You have to give him a bath once every month."
[05:41.73]"That's fun.I'd love giving a bath to this little puppy
[05:47.48]and I can take him outside for a walk.I can..."
[05:52.76]"OK,in that case,you can choose one."
[05:57.62]John quickly picked a brownish puppy with a pair of cute eyes.
[06:03.96]In John's arms,the little puppy seemed to be very happy.
[06:09.61]He licked3 John's face.
[06:13.05]At that very moment,Mum realized that John had a new friend [06:19.53]and she also knew that John was going to face many difficulties.
[06:25.18]But,as a mum,she was very pleased
[06:29.62]that her son wanted to take on some responsibilities.
[06:34.87]She was pretty sure that her son would learn quite a lot
[06:39.91]from keeping this little puppy.
[06:43.54]8.Listen,read and act.
[06:49.57]Scene 3
[06:53.52]LiMeng,Xiaohong and Mr.Davis are talking about regulations for keeping dogs.
[07:00.96]LiMeng:I wonder if we should report the dog attack to the city council.
[07:06.53]Mr.Davis:Good idea
[07:09.56]The Domestic4 Animals Act 1994 has all the rules for dangerous dogs.
[07:16.40]LiMeng:OK,I'll make the call.But just before I do that,
[07:21.65]is there anything I should know so I can tell them everything I saw?
[07:27.09]Mr.Davis:Let's see.Did the dog wear a collar?
[07:31.81]Xiaohong:A collar?What's that?
[07:35.89]Mr.Davis:Well,the owner of a dangerous dog has to put a collar with red
[07:41.04]and yellow stripes around its neck so people will know it's dangerous.
[07:46.89]This dog must weigh around 30 kilos
[07:51.64]so the collar has to be 40 mm(millmetres)wide.
[07:56.68]Xiaohong:My goodness.So specific.
[08:01.15]Mr.Davis:And what's more....

[12:43.64]Great Chinese-Australians
[12:48.60]Wherever you go in the world,you can see and meet many familiar Chinese faces.
[12:56.05]They live there either as tourists or residents.
[13:00.88]For centures,many Chinese people have left their own country
[13:06.91]and lived in foreign countries.
[13:10.96]They seek a new life,a change and sometimes an ideal world.
[13:18.33]They have become the ambassadors7 of the cultural exchanges
[13:24.21]and in many cases have greatly helped to develop their local economies.
[13:30.45]Their great contributions,
[13:34.60]hardworking spirit and consistent8 effort are long remembered and appreciated.
[13:41.76]Chinese Australians are among them.
[13:46.51]Victor Peter Chang was born in Shanghai on 21 November 1936.
[13:54.98]In 1953,he went to Australia to complete his education.
[14:01.82]He studied medicine and graduated in 1962.
[14:08.20]In order to further his main interest,he later studied in England,
[14:14.13]then in America and finally he went back to Australia in 1972.
[14:21.78]When he finished his studies,
[14:25.54]he was determined9 to establish a heart transplant10 unit in Australia.
[14:32.02]He worked hard and did many experiments at St.Vincent's Hospital,Sydney.
[14:38.86]Against all odds,in 1984,he established a National Heart Transplant Unit.
[14:46.94]It was there,in 1986
[14:51.48]that Victor performed his first successful heartlung transplant.
[14:57.54]Then,in 1990,his first successful lung transplant
[15:03.71]helped to further publicize his work.
[15:07.68]He was very famous very soon,not only in Australia,but also overseas.
[15:15.93]He began to perform transplant surgery overseas,particularly in Asia.
[15:22.57]He performed more than 260 heart transplant operations,many free of charge.
[15:31.11]Because of his achievements,
[15:34.87]he was chosen"Australian of the Year"in 1986 and was named"
[15:41.92]Australian of the Century"in the year 2000.
[15:47.17]Victor Peter Chang is not the only one who has contributed a lot
[15:53.73]to the Australian eco9nomy and society.
