One year ago all eyes were on Beijing．The excitement of the 2008 Olympics was going up day by day． Then something happened --- the earthquake．Our eyes turned quickly from Beijing towards Sichuan．Day after day we watched the terrible pictures on television．They went into our hearts．

But our spirits were also lifted as we saw so many ordinary people become heroes．Many people saved the lives of others without thinking about themselves． Soon people from all over the country were trying to help． Some traveled to Sichuan to save people, others sent food, water and clothes．And it seemed that everyone tried their best to donate money．

The Sichuan earthquake was a terrible thing but it did teach us some useful lessons．First, it taught us the importance of helping others．Without everyone joining together the things were much worse． It also taught us to love our friends and family．We realized that the people we love so much could be taken from us very quickly．

We also learned to respect （尊重） the power of nature．The earth is our home but it can sometimes be a dangerous place to live．Earthquakes, floods and droughts can happen at any time．We can’t do anything about that, but we do have the power to show our respect for nature by not causing pollution．That may be the most useful lesson of all．

（   ）1．When did the Sichuan earthquake take place? _________．

A． On May 12 , 2007                                   B． On May 12 , 2008

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.
