Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Canberra, the capital of Australia, lies in the southeast of the country. From this city, it is 240 kilometers to Sydney, and over twice the distance to Melbourne.The former faces the Pacific Ocean, and the latter is close to the Bass Strait through which ships from Sydney can enter the Indian Ocean.
When the Federal Government of Australia was founded in 1901, no one knew where Australia's capital would be.The two cities of Melbourne and Sydney both wanted the honor.Instead, the founding fathers chose a piece of land between the two cities for the new capital.The government would build a new city called Canberra as the country's capital.
In 1911, the government invited world leading architects to enter designs for Canberra in a contest.An Architect from Chicago named Walter Burley Griffin won an international competition for the design of the new city.Construction began in 1913 but was interrupted by World War I (1914～1918)．Twenty four years later, the city was finished.But the government moved to this new city ten years before it was completed.
At one time, almost everyone in Canberra worked for the government.However, the city today has become a center of education and favorite place for tourists.Now people can hold a government job, or they can work in business.They also make a living by teaching or meeting the needs of tourists.
People find life in Canberra relaxing and pleasant.The city is surrounded by beautiful mountains where people can ski.There is a large man-made lake lined with beaches and parks in the center of Canberra.Canberra is now Australia's largest inland city.Many people living there have come from other cities in Australia and from other lands.They have come to Canberra to work.Some have come to escape the busier way of life found in many other cities.

“Why pick on my family？” Jessica's father said with anger.“Your family history isn't so
good, you know.Wasn't your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes？” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked, I think I understand now，” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet.Jessica's parents were still quite angry with each other.Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read.When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica's closet.Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor.Jessica's mother sank into a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened？Where am I？” she asked.“You just destroyed the school's skeleton, Mum，” explained Jessica.“I brought it home to help me with my health project, I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly.“They're both crazy，” she thought.
