Around this dry part are large sheep and cow farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest states in America. Often the nearest neighbours are several hundred kilometers away. The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australia farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and then give an answer. For example, people on the large farms could talk t a doctor far away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was ill, and the doctor could let them know how to look after the sick person. As the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not go to school. Radio schools were started for them in some places. At a certain(某一) time each day, boys and girls turn on their radios and listen to teachers in cities far away. Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbours. The programme “Round Robin” talks by radio were started to keep families in touch with(保持联系) each other. They could talk about who was going away and who was ill. The men could talk about their ship and cows and how much money the markets would pay for them. In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.

A. important to Americans B. useful for children only C. used as a telephone D. only used by doctors ( )2.The children on the large farms away ____.

Australian Families B. Australian People C. A Useful Radio D. A Telephone Call B As you probably know, clouds are caused(引起) by air containing(含) water-vapour(蒸汽). The air rises and, since water-vapour becomes water when it cools, very small drops of water are formed(形成). Since these drops are small, they float(漂浮) in the air and form a cloud. When the cloud rises, however, the drops become colder. Because of this they join together and become big drops. The big drops are no longer able to float because of their size, and they fall. As they fall they pick up more drops and become bigger. This is the cause of the rain. ( )1.____ is the cause of clouds. A. Air B. Water-vapour C. Both A and B D.
