Round eyes, round head, round ears, round body! What is this lovely little animal?

    He looks like a bear． But he is not a bear．He’s a KOALA．

    People in Australia love koala and take care of them．They have set up places for them to live safely．No one can kill them for their beautiful fur．When a koala is born, he has no fur．And he is not as big as your little toe （腳趾）！The mother koala has a pocket （口袋） in the front of her body．The baby goes into this warm pocket．There he stays for six months．

    When the baby leaves the pocket, he has a lot of fur． And he is about as big as your shoe． He climbs to his mother’s back． He rides there while she teaches him how to find food．Mrs. Koala is a loving mother．She takes good care of her baby．But when he is bad, she beats（打） him! The baby cries just as a small child does．If he keeps on crying, his mother beats him again．When he stops crying, she takes him in her arms．And then they both go to sleep for a while．

    The koala could not live without a special kind of tree．The tree gives him both his home and his food． For most of the day the koala sleeps in the tree．

    At night the koala looks for food．He may go miles to find it．He likes only the bark（樹皮）and the leaves of the tree．He eats nothing else．And he eats more than two pounds each night!

    How lovely the koalas really are!

There are many things we need to know but we do not learn at school．For example, if we want to use our money wisely（明智的）, we need to shop carefully．We need to know how to compare the prices of things in different shops．We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands（品牌）． We need to know how to make a choice（選擇）when we shop．

Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need these skills if we want to live useful and happy lives．

Some of these choices are small．For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important．For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day．

We have to realize that the choices we make can influence the rest of our lives．Just as importantly, our choices can also influence other people．The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: Who else does your choice influence?
