Fires have torn through bushland (丛林地), wooded
10、areas, and national parks. Some start and are controlled in a few days, but the biggest fires have been burning for months.Each year there is a fire season during the Australian summer, with hot, dry weather making it easy for fires to start and spread. Natural causes are responsible for fires most
11、of the time, like lightning hits in drought-affected forests. Dry lightning was to blame for starting a number of fires in late December, which then traveled more than 20 kilometers in just five hours. Humans can also be responsible. Police have charged at least 24 people with starting bushfires on
12、purpose, and have taken action against 183 people for setting fire since November.Fire season in Australia is always dangerous - the 2009 Black Saturday fires killed 173 people in Victoria, making it the deadliest bushfire disaster on record. But conditions have been unusually bad this year, making
13、fires burn more strongly and making firefighting conditions particularly difficult. Australia is experiencing one of its worst droughts over the years. Meanwhile, a heatwave in December broke the record for highest nationwide average temperature, with some places under temperatures well above 40 deg
14、rees Celsius. Strong winds have also made the fires and smoke spread more rapidly, and have led to deaths.About half a billion animals have been affected by the fires across NSW, with millions likely dead - and thats lower than what is probably the real number. That number of total animals influence
15、d could be as high as one billion nationwide. Almost a third of koalas in NSW may have been killed in the fires, and a third of the places where they live have been destroyed.Some species, like koalas, arent in any immediate danger of extinction because they are spread out across the country. But ot

CYour child is unique, but what all children have in common is natural curiosity and an ability to learn they are born with. Our brains are acti
19、ve all the time, and a babys brain is the busiest of all. Research has shown that babies begin to understand language about twice as fast as they actually speak it. By showing children other languages at an early age, you are giving them the opportunity to make use of their natural ability to hear a
20、nd recognize between the sounds of other languages, and their ability to make sense of what they are hearing.Communication is something that children do to help them achieve something else, and they are unaware of the large amount of learning taking place. They take everything in through their sense
21、s, making connections between what they hear, see, smell, taste and touch. As long as we provide the right conditions, their learning and development will take place in a natural way.In your childs early years, the emotional environment is just as important as the physical environment. Children lear
22、n when they feel safe, happy, valued and listened to. This is central to any learning experience in a childs early years, including learning an additional language. Your child has a trial-and-error approach to its development, and making mistakes is a valuable part of the learning process. When chil
23、dren learn an additional language at an early age, they get the benefits of experimenting with that language as a natural part of their development. Their progress isnt prevented by a fear of getting it wrong, and very young children are simply working their way towards getting it right.The long-ter
24、m benefits of learning another language go beyond being able to communicate with others. Studies suggest that children learning an additional language tend to score better on standardized tests because learning languages develops listening, observation, problem-solving and critical (批判性的) thinking s
