Life must have been very different back then. At that time, known as the last great Ice Age, Australia was joined to New Guinea. So, they must have journeyed across the ice. As the ice flows of the Ice Age began to melt, the sea level rose, isolating Australia. They were stuck there, with no way to go back home. So, they made Australia their new home. The first Aboriginals found an Australia with a better environment than today. Large animals, now extinct, provided more meat than the animals with which we are familiar. Some parts of the continent were richer in vegetable foods, but the land contained no cultivated crops, or animals that could be domesticated, such as cattle and sheep. Did you know they even have their own flag? It's divided horizontally into two equal halves of black and red, with a yellow circle in the centre. Yes, it's flown or displayed permanently at aboriginal centres throughout Australia.
S1: 學(xué)生1 S2: 學(xué)生2 S1: 那時(shí)生活肯定很艱苦。當(dāng)時(shí)正好是最后一次大冰川時(shí)代，澳大利亞和新幾內(nèi)亞還連在一起。 S2: 所以他們肯定是從冰上走過去的。后來由于冰川時(shí)代冰河的溶化，海平面上升，把澳大利亞與其他地方隔離開來了。 S1: 他們被困在了那里，找不到回家的路，于是就把澳大利亞當(dāng)成了自己的新家。 S2: 第一批土著居民所發(fā)現(xiàn)的澳大利亞環(huán)境比今天的要好。而且，與我們今天所熟悉的動(dòng)物相比，那些已經(jīng)滅絕的大型動(dòng)物能給他們提供更多的肉食。 S1: 大陸有些地區(qū)有較豐富的植物可食用，但那時(shí)沒有人在這片土地上種植莊稼。這里也沒有能被家養(yǎng)的動(dòng)物，比如牛和羊。 S2: 你知道嗎？土著人還有自己的旗幟。旗子被分為均等的兩部分，上面是黑色，下面是紅色，中間是一個(gè)黃色的圓圈。 S1: 是的，這種旗幟在遍布澳大利亞的土著人中心陳列著，永遠(yuǎn)飄揚(yáng)。
