On Sunday night，the police found a baby koala in a bag in the town of Wishart in Queensland，Australia，during a traffic stop.Queensland police spokesperson Michael Beatty said that the officers asked a 50-year-old driver if she had anything to report.She then told the officers that she had a baby koala in her bag.

“Not quite believing their ears，the officers cautiously opened the bag and found this lovely boy and we’ve called him Alfred，” the spokesperson said.“The young koala is about 6 months old and weighs 1.5 kg.It appears to be healthy，though it was very thirsty.”

The police are warning people who find koalas to turn them over to authorities，rather than try to take care of them themselves.Koalas are protected in parts of Australia，including in Queensland，where they have been listed as “threatened” under the Nature Conservation Act.

Of course，koalas are also violent animals.One particularly wild koala even attacked a farmer in South Australia when she was riding along a muddy road.

“As it started running towards me，I thought I’d better speed up，” the terrified farmer told reporters.“But the road was too muddy.So I abandoned my bike and ran away.Fortunately，it ran up and attached itself to the dirty wheel—perhaps mistaking it for a eucalyptus tree.”

Deakin University biologist Desley Whisson has some tips in case you experience this predicament.“Koalas more generally run from than to people.The farmer did the right thing by moving away from her bike，” she said.“The best advice I can give to people is to not fight with a koala displaying unusual behaviour.Make sure that there is another object between you and the koala so that it can’t climb you.Or you can just simply run.Their fingers are very sharp.”

She also believed the koala might have been confusing the sound of the bike with that of a koala mate.

The Maoris are the local Polynesian people of New Zealand.The Maoris originated with settlers from eastern Polynesia，who arrived in New Zealand by boat around 1150 AD.Over several centuries in separation，the Polynesian settlers developed a unique culture，with their own language and special crafts and performing arts.The early Maoris formed tribal(部落的) groups based on eastern Polynesian social customs and organizations.

The arrival of Europeans，starting in the 17th century，brought great changes to the Maori way of life.The Maoris gradually learned from the Western society and culture.The primary relations between the Maoris and Europeans were largely kind，and the two cultures coexisted peacefully.Rising stress over land sales led to conflict in the 1860s.Great social changes，decades of conflict and introduced diseases made the number of the Maoris fall greatly.By the start of the 20th century，the Maori population had begun to recover，and efforts had been made to increase their standing in wider New Zealand society and achieve social justice.Traditional Maori culture therefore enjoyed a great revival.

In 2013，there were about 600,000 Maoris in New Zealand，making up 15% of the national population.They are the second-largest ethnic group in New Zealand，after European New Zealanders.In addition，more than 120,000 Maoris live in Australia.The Maori language is still spoken to some degree by about a fifth of all Maoris，representing 3% of the total population.Many New Zealanders regularly use Maori words and expressions，such as “kia ora”，while speaking English.

Many Maoris face big economic and social problems，with lower life expectancies and incomes compared with other New Zealand ethnic groups.They suffer higher levels of crime，health problems，and educational underachievement.Some measures have been taken to aim at closing the gap between the Maoris and other New Zealanders.

5．Which is mentioned in paragraph 1?

A．The Maoris come originally from New Zealand.

B．The Maoris differ from Polynesians.

C．The Maoris have their own culture.

D．The Maoris like to live in separation.

6．What caused the fighting between the Maoris and Europeans?

A．The cultural difference.

B．The social changes.

C．The introduced diseases.

D．The land problem.

7．What can we know about the Maori language?

A．Not all Maoris speak it.

B．It’s unusual for New Zealanders to speak it.

C．It’s spoken by about a fifth of people worldwide.

D．It’s the second-largest language in New Zealand.
