Finally, the last school day before Christmas came. Mark gave me a tiny box. I opened the wooden box and found nothing in it. I held the empty box and asked gently, "What is this, Mark?"

24、Dear mum and dad,

I'm writing this letter to you from the centre 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 kilometres long and 384 metres high. The colours 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 centre 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!

25、根据短文内容，在空白处填入一个适当的词或用括号内所给单词的适当形式或汉语提示填空，使短文完整、通顺。

What is my secret (诀窍) of teaching kids to do housework? Before you get 【1】 (excite) to learn the secret, I need to tell you that there is no secret at all.

It all starts by picking a chore. 【2】 example, I want to teach Annie about cleaning the bathroom. First, I take her with me 【3】 I’m doing the chore. I show and tell her how 【4】 (clean) the bathroom. I’ll do this for a few weeks.

After she watches me for a few weeks, I let her try doing it on her own, with me there 【5】 (watch) her. For another 4 — 5 weeks, Annie learns how to do each part of the chore. At this point, I would let her do the chore by 【6】 (she). But that doesn’t mean I will never think about it again. I always go back and check her work. 【7】 the chore isn’t done well, Annie will have to do it again.

When it comes to teaching kids to do 【8】 (chore), I start with my oldest child Annie. But I’m hoping that if I teach her well, she 【9】 then teach others. I have already asked Annie to teach her brother Andy to clean the bathroom. When he learns that, I’ll be 【10】 (可以……的) to teach Annie a new job.
