[00:00.00]Unit 17 A visit to Kangaroo lsland
[00:05.38]1.Listen,read and act.
[00:10.55]How would you spend the time if you had a few days' holiday?
[00:15.60]Would you like to go sightseeing? Where would you like to go?
[00:21.16]Mr.Davis is driving his family,LiMeng and Xiaohong to Kangaroo Island.
[00:28.24]As the name suggests,it's a good place to see kangaroos and koalas.
[00:35.00]Mr.Davis:It's a long drive,folks,but there'll be exciting things ahead of us.
[00:40.46]Daniel:Like animals you've always loved to see,the lovely big kangaroos,
[00:46.71]the always-sleeping koalas or even the cute little penguins1 if we're lucky.
[00:52.87]Mrs.Davis:And delicious food too:
[00:56.71]the locally made sheep's milk cheese and yogurt,the nice honey and all.
[01:03.19]Mr.Davis:Plus fishing on a boat.Let's see who can get the biggest catch!
[01:09.12]LiMeng:Oh,yeay.I remember you have a photo with a big fish.
[01:14.87]Is that your biggest catch?
[01:18.21]Mr.Davis:That's right!That was five years ago.
[01:22.26]It took me two hours to get it into the boat.That was a big,long,silver fish.
[01:28.82]You should have seen the shine on him.A beautiful thing.
[01:34.17]Mrs.Davis:Fishing is his favourite.
[01:37.93]He would love to go every day if he didn't have to work.
[01:42.97]Daniel:And I would go with him
[01:46.34]swimming,snorkeling,or even surfing when there's a big wind.
[01:51.80]Xiaohong:That sounds so much fun,
[01:55.57]but I wonder if I might get a chance to get close to the kangaroos and feed them.
[02:01.81]Mrs.Davis:I think so.They are usually harmless.
[02:06.38]Xiaohong:Oh,have you brought our camera along,LiMeng?
[02:10.82]We should take some photos and send them to our friends.
[02:15.50]I wonder what they woould say.
[02:19.34]LiMeng:Yeah,I got it.It's in the small green bay in the back.
[02:24.38]Xiaohong:I also want to feed those koalas.They're so cute,like big toys.
[02:30.31]Daniel:Xiaohong,do you know what koalas eat?
[02:35.17]5.Listen,read and act.
[02:40.44]Have you ever fed any animals?Was it fun?What do different animals eat?
[02:47.11]Mr.Davis:Here we are.This is Flinders Chase National Park.
[02:52.15]a place to see our lovely animals.
[02:56.38]Mrs.Davis:Let's buy some food for the animals from the shop before we go in.
[03:01.81](They buy some food for the animals and then go to feed them)
[03:07.06]Daniel:Come with me.I know where to find them.
[03:11.03]The kangaroos like to stay in the shady places under the trees.
[03:16.49]Xiaohong:Oh,look over there.I see two kangaroos.
[03:21.35]Let's go slowly.We don't want to scare them.
[03:26.00]Mre.Davis:Here,take this bag.You can feed him now.Be careful.
[03:31.67]LiMeng:He's got a funny big nose.Look at the way he eats.
[03:37.60](Xiaohong holds out her hand with some food in it)
[03:42.25]Xiaohong:Oh,it's wet!It's funny!He's a slow eater!
[03:47.71]Daniel:Xiaohong,want to look in the big eucalyptus3 trees
[03:52.67]What to know what koalas eat?
[03:56.23]7.Listen and read.
[04:01.08]Kangaroos
[04:04.14]They are marsupials. They are the only large mammal that can hop2.
[04:11.51]Males are called bucks5.Females are called does.
[04:17.88]Babies are called joeys.Joeys live in their mothers pouch6,drinking her milk.
[04:26.42]Kangaroos'general features include strong back limbs,long back feet,
[04:33.19]the ability to hop,inability to walk backwards7,a lack o fthumbs,
[04:39.95]powerful and long,clawed fourth toe which does
[04:44.92]much of the work in completing the push of a hop,
[04:50.25]a tail that helps with balance during fast hopping,
[04:55.31]a mostly vegetarian8 diet and a marsupial4 pouch for its young baby.
[05:02.26]Kangaroos and wallabies are marsupials
[05:06.63]that belong to a small group of animals called macropods.
[05:12.40]The word"macropod"actually means"big foot".
[05:17.36]Most macropods have hind9 legs larger than their forelimbs,
[05:23.53]large hind feet,and long muscular tails.
[05:29.09]They are only found naturally in Australia and Papua and New Guinea[05:35.02]All kangaroos and wallabies have forward-opening pouches10.
[05:40.38]Other marsupials-including wombats11 and koalas-have pouches that open backwards.
[05:47.95]There are 45 species of kangaroos and wallabies,such as,red kangaroos,
[05:55.32]grey kangaroos,tree kangaroos,rat-kangaroos and many more.
[06:02.48]Kangaroos and wallabies lice just about everywhere in Australia!
[06:08.82]They are most active at night,dusk and dawn.
[06:14.10]Kangaroos rest in the heat of the day.
[06:18.46]They dig shallow holes under trees anad lie in the cool sand.
[06:25.02]They pant like dogs and they are very good swimmers.
[06:30.66]They have very good hearing,eyesight and a keen sense of smell[06:36.90]They eat young green shoots high in protein and being more mobile than sheep,
[06:43.67]they can often select the best vegetation in an area for themselves.
[06:49.73]10.Listen,read and act.
[06:55.19]Have you ever been siting in a tram drawn12 by a big,handsome horse?
[07:01.36]Want to know how it feels?Come for a ride to Granite13 Island.
[07:07.60]LiMeng:This is impressive.So many people sit in this tram drawn by one horse!
[07:14.26]This horse must be super strong.
[07:18.23]Mr.Davis:Yeah.They belong to a special breed which is good for hard and heavy work.
[07:25.28]Xiaohong:Why is it wearing those rubber things near its eyes?
[07:30.14]Mrs.Davis:I suppose to make sure it concentrates on what it's trying to do.
[07:36.02]Those rubber things make sure it can see the tram track and not much else.
[07:42.50]Daniel:I hope it keeps concentrating.I don't want to end up in the water.
[07:48.74]Mr.Davis:After we see everything here,we'll drive to Victor Harbor.
[07:54.02]There's a beautiful sandy beach down there.I'm sure you kids will love it.
[07:59.97]LiMeng:Great!My friends have been talking about it and showing me the photos.
[08:05.30]Thanks,dad.You're so considerate.
[08:09.53]Xiaohong:What a way to finish our holiday!I'll always remember it.
[08:14.97]14.Let's sing
[08:19.51]I've learned a lot of things.
[08:23.46]I've arrived at a new place,and see something funny.
[08:42.40]Drivers drive on teh left side,but the policemen are happy.
[08:50.16]I've come to an old place,but something is new.
[08:57.91]Men are standing14 with skirts and blowing their bagpipes15.
[09:05.96]I've visited a beautiful place,and the thing is strange.
[09:13.12]The animals are kept free but people stay in the cars.
[09:21.48]I've seen a big animal and it jumps with a baby.
[09:40.13]I've noticed a small bat,hanging with its feet.
[09:47.99]I've learned a lot of things and this is what I need.
[00:05.38]1.Listen,read and act.
