WIRES is short for Wildlife Information and Rescue Service. It is an Australian organization, established(成立) in 1985 to care for injured and orphaned(失去母兽的) native wildlife. WIRES has a network of hundreds of volunteers who rescue and care for native animals until they are well enough to be released (释放)into the wild. Volunteers look after rescued animals in their own homes and are trained in the special needs of native wild animals.
When Australians find a native animal in trouble, they often call WIRES for help. WIRES may be asked to look after a possum that has been attacked by a cat, rescue a large lizard that has got its head caught in a drink can, or care for a baby animal who has lost its mother. People call WIRES when they want to move a dangerous snake away from their garden or when they find a seabird that has swallowed(吞下) a fishing line or an owl with a broken wing. Sometimes kangaroos jumped onto the road in front of cars and are run over. Australians are encouraged to check the pouch(育儿袋)of dead kangaroos in case there
is a baby in it. WIRES volunteers find themselves caring for many babies orphaned in this way.
Each year, in the summer, parts of Australia suffer from(受苦) huge bush fires. These fires not only destroy human homes and put people in danger, but they also destroy animal habitats(栖息地)and endanger the animals living in the bush. After a big fire, WIRES and other organizations go into the district to pick up surviving animals. They are treated for burns, shock, smoke and other problems and then cared for until new location can be found for them.
WIRES is also involved in educating people in the importance of caring for wildlife and wildlife habitats. Volunteers visit schools and other public places to talk about native animals. Sometimes they bring a bat or some other interesting animals with them to show to people who may never have seen one up close before.
（1）What is WIRES?
A . It helps the pets in the street to look for their homes.
B . It rescues and cares for animals in order to set them free.
C . It consists of hundreds of volunteers from all over the world.
D . It provides services for wild animals and keeps them in a zoo.
（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A . Australians often call the police for help if they find animals in trouble.
B . Volunteers in WIRES are afraid to take snakes away from communities.
C . Australian government asks WIRES workers to save animals after a fire.
D . WIRES often go to the public places to give lessons of wild animals.
（3）What’s the passage mainly about?
A . It mainly talks about what WIRES members usually do.
B . It tells us why WIRES develops so quickly in Australia.
C . It teaches us how WIRES can train wild animals at home.
D . It mainly tells us how we can join in WIRES successfully.

Potatoes are very popular today. But in the past this was not true. Potatoes grew in South America 5,000 years ago. But they only became popular in other places 200 years ago.
In the 16th century, the Spanish took the potato from South America to Europe. But European people didn't like this vegetable. They thought potatoes grew underground and would bring them bad luck if they ate them.
In the 1800s, people started to eat potatoes. Potatoes became the main food in Ireland. Then something unlucky happened. In 1845, a disease(疾病) killed all the potatoes in Ireland. Two million people died because they didn't have enough potatoes to eat.
Today each country has its potato dish. Germans eat potato salad, and the USA has the baked potato. Of course, the French have their French fries.
（1）Where did potatoes grow first?
A . China.
B . South America.
C . North America.
D . Europe.
