Australia is located in the southern p      of the earth. So when it is a hot summer there, we have a cold w   here. The weather in Australia is neither too hot nor too cold. In many places of this beautiful land, you can either t    a walk in the rain forests or have a s      in its warm seas.
Canberra is the c    of Australia. But to visit the world-famous Opera House, you must go to Sydney. Sydney is the l      city of this country.
Australia is always a farming country. People usually call it “a country on sheep’s back”. There, you can find lots of s    and kangaroos(袋鼠).

At some time in your life, you might have a roommate. It is a good idea to share a flat, especially for students or people who have just finished school, because flats are usually expensive. And m  is not the only reason for having a roommate. Sharing a flat can be fun.
But life with a roommate can also be a t  experience. Some experts (专家) did a study of college students who shared a room. They found that students who had problems with their roommates were not happy at school and were more likely to get sick than other students. So, how can you l  with a roommate and enjoy it? Here is some a :
Being roommates with a friend can be hard. Friends may be different when you stay with them all the time from when you don’t see them very o. So, before you plan to share a room with a friend, discuss the situation c .
If you decide to share a room with someone you don’t know, talk to each other. It’s important to be h about your habits and things you hate. You mustn’t tell lies to each other.
When you move in with a roommate, make rules. Decide how you will share h, such as cleaning, washing and shopping. Will you share food? It is OK to have guests? And what about loud music?
Don’t get angry at small things that your roommate does. Try to f  the unhappy things between you and your roommate. No one ---including you ---is p .

Most people think that the older you get, the harder it is to l  a new language. That is, they believe that c  learn more easily than the grown-ups. So at some points in our lives, maybe around age 12 or 13, we lose the ability to learn languages well. Is this the fact?
Is it t that children learn a foreign language more easily than the grown-ups? One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, showed that the t learn more in less time than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed the ability to learn increased as the age increased. T  are several possible explanations（解释）for these findings. F _ one thing, grown-ups know more about the world and are a  to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, grown-ups can use logical thinking to help themselves in the language learning. F , grown-ups have more self-discipline（自律） than children.
All in all, it s that the common idea that children are better language learners than adults may not be a f, but a myth.(谬论)

When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our rules and culture. One of the rules is that young people are always s   to respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
In my village in China, people are p    of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most  (知识) and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States,  (当地的) people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep t   away from growing old by   (做) exercise, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got m  because this caused them to feel they had   (失败)to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear. It taught me a lesson. Learning what you should and shouldn’t do in s  situations may be difficult, but it is  (值得) the trouble if you want to understand another culture.
