Australia's worst pests are the rabbits，introduced by a settler who released 24 into the wild for sport hunting．In less than 100 years，the rabbits grow into the millions of ones，leaving large areas of land looking like the surface of the moon due to thousands of rabbit caves．The spread（蔓延）of the rabbits in Australia was the fastest of all animals in the world．The spread of the rabbits' disease in 1950 cut the number，but it was not until 1997 when the spread of another disease targeted（瞄准）the pests that the number was finally brought under control．Farm losses due to rabbits today still remain a surprising total A ＄200 million （US＄112 million）a year．

Over a third of one's life is spent sleeping with one's head on a pillow（枕头）．A good pillow，in its right height and composition，has important effects on one's sleep and health．There is an old way of medical treatment（治疗）called “smell the medicine to cure （治愈）the disease”which means that people smell medicines while asleep for disease treatment．In China，since ancient times，people have put plants into pillows for their health．Medicinal pillows get medical treatment closely with people's life and keep the people working in process．Back in the Tang Dynasty （AD 618907），the famous Chinese doctor Sun Simiaomade medicinal pillows to treat aches in the neck and head，getting good results．The medicine that should be put into the pillow should be carefully
chosen according to one's illness．
Pillows filled with the skins of beans，seeds，dried flowers and wheat are good for the eyesight and keeping the mind clear，since their smell helps one go to sleep．Furthermore，in South China，a strange pillow has long been popular during hot seasons．Peasants collect silk-worm excrement（排泄物）and fill pillows with it．Such pillows then fetch a high price，because people believe they can successfully cool their babies．

No one can believe that the over 6，300kilometer Great Wall might disappear some day．Believe it or not，the Great Wall is being destroyed by people．Less than 20 per cent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty，is still perfect，but about 80 per cent is in danger．The Great Wall can be called “great”mostly because of its amazing length．But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time．If we do nothing to save the Great Wall，it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site．The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years．It began in the rule of China's first emperor，Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty （221-206 BC），and lasted into the Ming Dynasty．The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared．People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu，because they have been open to tourists for many years．But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten．
Few local people knew the 3-metre-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall．The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human．
The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses，sheep corrals（畜栏）and pigsties(猪圈）．Some were taken away to build roads．Bricks carved with people's names are put away as remembrance．Rubbish is spread over the battlements（城垛）．The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load．Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name，but are not clear about its cultural
meaning．It will take a long time to let them know this．The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire base．
It is necessary to protect the Great Wall．First of all，the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall．Young Chinese should know more about the nation's great civilization（文明）and learn to love it．

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.
13 Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these healthy colors. Ice cream packers are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
14 Recently, some kind of pain killer was brought out, but research ers found it didn’t sell well, because the color made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—because we think of blue as safe, and white as calm.

It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
