Every year， people from every corner of the world travel to Australia to meet the kangaroo﹣the lovely， unuaual and special Australian animal that jumps all over this sunburnt continennt．There is a young kangaroo that is lucky to be alive today， thanks to meeting a pair of New South Wales teenagers．

Nick Heath and Jack Donnelly were riding their motorbikes in the bush outside Sydney on Sunday when they came across a kangaroo stuck in the mud（泥）． The boys were lucky enough to see the head of the animal sticking out of the mud at Agnes Banks next the Mepean River in southwest Sydney．

The animal was clearly in pain but the boys couldn't reach it so they raced home to get a rope．When they returned， Mr． Donnelly tied the rope around his waist（腰） and walked into the thick mud to get hold of the kangaroo while his friend then pulled them about 30m to safety．

Appearing on Today this morning， the young men retold their story．

"The kangaroo's life was important to us， so we pulled out all the stops to rescue it．" Mr． Heath said．

"We're proud of what we did． If we see something like that again， we'll doit all over．"Mr Heath added．

The animal， which was not in great health， after being saved， was handed to Wildlife Rescue Organization． It's believed that it's very hot and the kangaroo was likely searching for water in the dry conditions when it got stuck in the mud．

As for the heroes of the story， they're glad to have been in the right place at the right time to help the animal and don't care about the attention it's brought．

"Yeah， we liked it， something different．" Mr． Donnelly told reporters．

Many of us wish we would have longer weekend， but for about 18，000 students in Colorado， that wish is coming true． A school district outside Denver has decided to shorten its week to four days﹣from Tuesday to Friday， and the first school year on this new timetable just started，CBS Denver reports． It began on Tuesday， August 14， because the day students get off is everyone's least favorite： Monday．

Although this may sound like a dream come true， it means students will have to sit though longer school days to work more for the hours they've lost， according to The Denver Post． So the timetable seems more crowded than ever．

The decision wasn't made just to give students more days off， though：it had practical purpose． The district says that it will save ＄ 1 million by not having buses on Mondays and spending less on things like electricity and water． That means a lot to the school． However， there are different voice． Parents may pick upsome the cost of this change， though， since many will now need to stay home with their kids． If they go to work， they have to find people to take care of their children．

This isn't the first district in the state to introduce a four﹣day week：55% of the state's schools do this， but most of them are in the countryside， according to The Denver Post． Several school in Oklahoma made the some move earlier this year， and some them told CBS News Reports that more teachers wanted to teach there after the change． Most of these teachers have a lot of teaching experience． About 560 districts in timetable influence students's performance．

（1）What happens to the students in Colorado？ 　 　

（2）What does the underlined phrase "pick up" in Paragraph 3 mean？ 　 　

（3）Why do more teachers want to come to Oklahoma？ 　 　

（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？ 　 　

Reading is getting more popular among young Chinese． A new survey says that 85% of young people in China read at least 1 book last year． The number of young people who are reading has been rising in recent years， especially for teenagers， who read an average（平均） of 11.5 books．

The data（数据） shows that teenagers spend much more time reading from school textbooks to some other reading materials， such as novels， e﹣books， magazines and so on． But younger children （ages 2﹣8）are mainly reading for fun． Compared with the past， the time teenagers spend on pleasure reading has dropped．

When it comes to technology and reading， the surver suggests little．It does point out that many parents control the time of electronic reading， mainly because of worring about increased screen time． However， most Chinese parents are helping theie children to develop a reading habit． They are served as examples for their children． More than 70% of Chinese parents spend at least 20 minutes a day reading to their children aged 0 to 8 years old， and visit bookstores with them an average of three times a year． Data shows that kids and teens who do a lot of reading， compared to those who don't like reading， have more books in the home， and more books brought for them． Their parents read more often， and would like to spare time to read with them．

When was the last time you read a book？ If you're one of the countless people who don't develop a habit of reading， you might be missing out． Everything you read fill your head with new bits of information， and you never know then it might be useful． The more knowledge you have， the better equipped you are to deal with any shallenge you'll face． Remember that although you might lose something else， knowledge can never be taken away from you．

Now open a book， and feed your soul．

（1）Why do many parents control the time of their children's electronic reading？ 　 　

（2）How should parents encourage their children to read more？ 　 　

（3）What's the survey mainly about？ 　 　

（4）Which one of the following is most probably to be disscussed next？
