三、阅读理解。

Dear mum and dad,
I’m writing this letter to you from the center of Australia. At the moment we’re staying near Uluru — that’s the aboriginal (土著的) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of aboriginal culture.
The Australians have many British relatives. That’s why they’re like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.
Although it’s December, it’s summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback (澳大利亚的内地) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.
The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel (骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down…
Finally, later this evening, we’re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It’s been a fantastic trip!

As the years go by, the Italian community has found its place in Australia. One of the main reasons is the birth of a second generation (代). The children of migrants (移民) have grown up as Australians.
Lucy’s family is an example.
Lucy’s parents came from Italy in the 1950s. Lucy was born in Sydney soon after her parents arrived in Australia. Lucy’s parents were both workers. They spoke Italian at home. When Lucy went to school, she had to learn English. Her mum and dad could speak just a little English. At home it was always Italian. When she got a bit older, her mum and dad would ask her to help them out when they didn’t understand something in English.
When she was growing up, her parents didn’t allow her to do as much as her Australian friends. Her friends didn’t understand why she couldn’t go out and do things with them, or why she always did what her parents wanted! Lucy’s parents spent a lot of time with other Italians, mainly because it was much easier for them to communicate in Italian. Because of this, she spent more time with the kids from Italian background.
Things have changed since Lucy had children of her own. Lucy is not as strict as her parents were, so her own kids have more freedom (自由). They can move between the different cultures and feel easier in both cultures. They haven’t had so many problems about their identities (身份). They see themselves as Australians with an Italian background and they’re proud of their traditions.
( ) 6. Lucy’s family live in ______.
A. Italy B. Germany C. Australia D. China
( ) 7. Lucy’s parents spoke ______ at home most of the time.
A. English B. Italian C. Chinese D. German
( ) 8. When Lucy was a kid, she was allowed to ______.
A. do what her parents wanted
B. do everything with her friends
C. do as much as her Australian friends
D. spend more time with the kids from Australian background
( ) 9. Lucy’s children ______.
A. only speak Italian
B. can’t accept Australian cultures
C. don’t like their own Italian traditions
D. live in Italian and Australian cultures freely
( ) 10. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Lucy’s parents lived a hard life in the early years.
B. It’s hard for Lucy’s children to accept Australian culture.
C. As time goes by, the Italians in Australia have found their places there.
D. The Italians have played an important role in Australian society.
