B(2026·常州市实验中学期中)
① What can students usually see in a school? Buildings mostly, right? But at the University of Newcastle in Australia, things are a little different. Of course, there are buildings in it, but students can also see wildlife(野生生物).
② The University of Newcastle is in a natural(自然的) place. A lot of trees and animals are in the school. There are over 2,000,000 trees. The school is also home to over 116 kinds of birds, 11 kinds of frogs and 18 kinds of reptiles(爬行动物).
③ Of all these animals, students see opossums(负鼠) most often. The small animals sleep in the day, and come out to do activities at night. They always show up in the open air(在户外). They only go into classrooms sometimes. But a young opossum often goes to a classroom. It enjoys having classes there and students take many pictures of it.
④ When wild animals show up in the school, no one is afraid. Students and teachers think the animals are friends. And the animals never hurt people. Workers of the university also work hard to keep the wild animals safe in the school. For the natural world, the animals are an important part.
⑤ So next time you visit Australia, you can go to the University of Newcastle for some nice wildlife!
