People living on Garden Grove Lane always think of Geneva and Ted when they get into trouble.

One day, as usual, the old couple picked up a call from a neighbour. A snake cut off his way to work. Ted broke his leg a few days ago, so Geneva had to offer help alone this time. She picked up a grabber(爪钩)and headed to the neighbour's house.

A half-metre long snake was lying at the front door when Geneva arrived at the house. Perhaps it lost home after the heavy rain. Geneva controlled the snake with the grabber and saved the neighbour from danger. This was one of the many timely aids from the old couple.

Also, they made plans to bring benefits to the community. When they moved to Garden Grove Lane five years ago, they found some sewers (下水道)of the town had been in disrepair for years. Grass grew and filled the waterway. Ted volunteered to clean the grass, but there were some areas out of his reach. He asked the city hall for help. They joined hands to manage the waste water.

At the beginning of 2020, the Reporter-News put Geneva and Ted on its Everyday Heroes name list. The daily local newspaper in Abilene, the US, put outa run of their stories. "They made a difference to their community without return," it reported, When they heard the news, Geneva said, "We wouldn't say we're heroes. We are just people who want to help our neighbours. "

Johnnie Lou Boyd, one of the old couple's neighbours, firstly heard of the couple from words of mouth before they came out in the newspaper. "Most of their actions don't draw such attention. But people on Garden Grove Lane have always taken them as their everyday heroes, "Johnnie said." We hope they will stay with us for many more years. "

Australia is a land of oddities (奇特的东西). There (be) many unusual animals and plants that can't be found in other countries. Maybe you have heard about the kangaroos carry their babies in their pouches. And there are cute koalas that spend about 18-20 hours a day sleeping in trees. Do you know the name of animal that has a bill(嘴)like a duck? It (call) the platypus(鸭嘴兽). The first Europeans could hardly believe their eyes they first saw it. And there are of course those wild dogs that are not native to Australia. They (probable) came from Asia a long time ago.

Australia offers a lot both in the way of cultural and (nature) attractions. There are world-class shows in the Sydney Opera House. However, you are more interested in the local flora and fauna(动植物群), you should go bushwalking in one of the national parks.
