A Koala Isn’t a Bear
Koalas remind people of teddy bears. They have thick fur and large ears. Their broad, flat nose makes them look cute, similar to teddy bears. In fact koalas aren’t cute. They have sharp teeth and very sharp claws! Koalas are marsupials. This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, similar to a kangaroo. The baby koala lives in its mother’s pocket for the first six months of its life.
The name “koala” comes from a native Australian word that means “no drink.” The koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus(桉树) leaves they eat. That’s where they get their food too. Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves, and only the leaves of certain eucalyptus trees. The eucalyptus trees are where the koalas live. It’s also where they sleep. Koalas sleep about nineteen hours a day!
Why do they sleep so much? Some people think it’s because they’re lazy. But koalas aren’t lazy. They sleep so much because there isn’t much nutrition in eucalyptus leaves. Koalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energy. One way to do this is to move slowly and sleep a lot.
After a day of sleeping they like to move around and eat just after sunset. They live alone most of the time. Koalas are very protective of their trees. If a koala sees another koala eating in its favorite tree, it might tell the other koala to leave by “barking” at it. Koalas do “talk” to each other. Besides barks, the males make a deep grunting sound. The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds. If they get scared they may scream like a baby.According to the article, how are koalas and kangaroos alike?

These days everyone wants to "get rich" fast. We all marrying someone from a wealthy family, making a big or winning the lottery (彩票). But do these things really make us happy? Many of the richest celebrities (名人）happen to be some of the most people. They buy expensive houses and clothes that they use. They may become and even become addicted to . They have become so money and material things that they forget about the people and activities they love.
Now, more young people have the opportunity for a better education, and better chances of making a high . These are great achievements, but will they make you happy? In the US many young people believe that being rich and being happy are two things. When university, they often choose to study subjects that they are interested in subjects that will get them high-paying jobs. Instead of in "business" or "management", many American students today have majors like "theater", or "modem dance". The is that making a lot of money doesn't mean that you will be with your life. Nowadays, young people are careers that they love doing instead of careers that pay well.
I think that as being becomes more possible, we need to what the term "fortune" really means. Do we need to have money or material things to be ？Or does fortune just mean having what we need to be happy? , what things make you happy? Be honest with yourself. It may take a rich spouse (配偶) or much money to make you happy!
