第 17 题： Kangaroos (袋鼠) are amazing animals! They have a pair of muscular hind legs(后腿) that can be 10 times larger than their front legs. They have a long, strong tail that they use for balancing when they move around. They don’t run, but they hop (跳)swiftly – with a top speed of 40 miles per hour, they can cover a distance of over 30 feet and reach a height of more than 10 feet in a single jump!

There are over 50 different species of kangaroos, which can be divided into two groups – large and small. Large kangaroos include many familiar races, such as red kangaroos, gray kangaroos and wallabie. Red Kangaroos are the biggest of any Kangaroos. They can stand up 6 feet tall and weigh over 200 pounds! Small kangaroos consist of bettongs, rat kangaroos, and potoroos.

Kangaroos inhabit a variety of environments, but most of them live in grasslands and open woodlands. They can only be found in Australia, New Guinea, and neighbouring islands like Tasmania. Grass, leaves, and herbs (草本植物) are the diet for most kangaroo species(物种).

One funny fact about kangaroos is how they got their name! When European explorers had their first encounter with this strange-looking, hopping animal, they asked a native Australian what it was called. He replied, “Kangaroo”. This word actually meant, “I don’t understand 「your question」.” The explorers thought “Kangaroo” was the animal’s name, and that is how kangaroos got their name!
