A
Australia‟s koalas could be wiped out within 30 years unless urgent action is taken to stop the losing in population, according to researchers. They say development, climate change and bushfires have all combined to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply. The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than half in the past six years. Previous estimates put the number of koalas at more than 100,000, but the latest calculations suggest there could now be as few as 43,000.
The foundation collected field data from 1,800 sites and 80,000 trees to calculate the numbers. In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20,000 koalas a decade ago, a team of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of searching. The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests, hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional value of their staple food, eucalyptus leaves, leading to poor nutrition for them. Koalas, which live in the forests in Australia‟s east and south, are very fussy (爱挑剔的) about what types of the leaves they eat. Foundation chief Deborah Tabart said: “The koalas are missing everywhere we look. It‟s really no tree, no me. If you keep cutting down trees you don‟t have any koalas.” She is hoping the new figures will persuade the government‟s Threatened Species Steering Committee (TSSC) to list the koala as threatened. But committee chairman Bob Beeton said a decision was not likely recently and the koala‟s status as one of the country‟s favourite animals would not be a factor. “There‟s a number of species which are attractive and people have special feelings towards them. We don‟t consider that,” Mr Beeton was reported as saying by the AFP agency.
21. The writer gives the example of the area in northern Queensland in Paragraph 3 to show that _____.
A. the forests are being damaged heavily B. the environment is being polluted seriously
C. koalas usually live in wild mountainous areas D. the number of koalas is dropping quickly
22. Global warming is an important cause of koalas‟ reduction because _____. A. koalas can hardly stand the hot weather B. the leaves koalas eat are losing nutritional value
C. koalas cannot get enough water to drink D. the leaves koalas eat cannot grow in hot weather
23. According to Bob Beeton, _____.

Relax during a job interview
Few people actually like job interviewing. It's nerve-wracking trying to show your \"best ”self to a perfect stranger. _36 That's not easy. but there are some ways to pull yourself together and feel more confident
Prepare solid talking points. It's always best to over-prepare for possible questions by not

only researching the company and the person interviewing you, but also by preparing answers and practicing those responses. Review the skills and experiences requested in the job announcement and have two to three examples how you have demonstrated each one. 37
Remember: It's a two-way street. This is conversation. not an interrogation（审问）__38_ Remembering that this is a back and forth discussion, where you can-and should-ask questions as well as answer them, can help you feel more comfortable.
Just breathe. 39 Your body will relax lot. You want to avoid upper chest breathing, as it tends to just move you, stress upward to your face.
40 if you go into an interview picking apart your outfit or imperfect responses, you're only hurting your chances of coming off as calm and collected. Turn off your negative self-talk and then create a different self-talk message, like ,“I am here to share the best of my ability and that is all I can really do.\"
Work it out. Putting in some gym time the morning of your interview can help you get rid of any nervous tension. Exercise helps calm your nervous system and tends to reduce the intensity of physical manifestations（表现形式）of stress such as restlessness.
