• 2．Helping injured wildlife When Rachel Ratelle saw a news video of a burned koala trying to climb a tree to safety in fireravaged（火灾肆虐的）Australia，she decided to do something about it.
     She looked up wildlife rescue and relief agencies in Australia to find out what they needed most.Besides donations，many organizations asked for hand-sewm（手缝的）and knitted pouches（袋子）and wraps for koalas and other animals that were burned or had lost their homes and parents in the fires.
     This idea attracted Ratelle，but there was just one problem.
     "I'd never sewn in my life，"said Ratelle，17，a senior at Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista，the US."Giving money seemed like something too simple.But I wanted to directly help these animals by doing something myself，so I decided to learn how to sew."
     Over the next few months，Ratelle bought her own sewing machine and taught herself how to sew via videos online.Then she purchased 18 yards of fabric and sewed 25 pouches of different sizes and shipped them off to For Australian Wildlife Needing Aid （FAWNA），one of several relief organizations that have rushed to rescue koalas，kangaroos and other species suffering from burns.
     A week later，she received a photo from FAWNA with a young joey （in one of her larger pouches."It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way，"said Ratelle，who hopes to study biology for a future career as a nurse practitioner.
     "I plan to use my new sewing skills to help animals and people devastated （by natural disasters，"she said.
     According to the World Wildlife Fund，it estimated that 1.2 billion animals have died，as a result of the bushfires，which have burned more than 26 million acres in Australia.
     Several craft guild（手工业协会）websites around the world have mobilized（动员）for Australian relief by making the animal pouches.Karen Newberry and her two daughters Madison，12 and Rochelle，8，from San Diego also offered their help in such a way.For Newberry，"It was a big push that made we crafters，sewers to realize there's something more we can do than just make things for ourselves，"she said.
  
  （1）What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about？

  
  A．What is needed to save koalas and other species.
  B．What inspired Ratelle to learn to sew.
  C．The poor living conditions of wild animals in Australia.
  D．Different ways to help koalas and other animals in Australia.
  （2）How did Ratelle feel when she received a photo from FAWNA according to the text？

  
  A．Proud.
  B．Calm.
  C．Surprised.
  D．Disappointed.
  （3）The numbers used in the second-to-last paragraph want to show

  .
  A．how harmful the bushfires are in Australia
  B．how frequent the bushfires are in Australia
  C．the great varieties of wild animals in Australia
  D．the difficulties facing relief organizations in Australia
  （4）What do Newberry's words in the last paragraph suggest？

  
  A．People should stay united through difficult times.
  B．Life is not easy for crafters and sewers in Australia.
  C．Crafters and sewers can do more to help animals.
  D．It is challenging for crafters and sewers to do relief work.
