The bad fairies flew out of doors and stung all the children in the land. Then Pandora heard a voice crying, “Let me out, and I will help you.”

Because of Disney's film Finding Nemo, the clownfish (小丑鱼) are facing the danger of dying out. The film received positive reviews and won the Acaden Award for Best Animated Feature. It was a success as it earned over $864 million worldwide.
Finding Nemo is about a clownfish who tried to save his son who has been caught by a man from becoming a pet. One thing we can learn from the film is that wild animals really have to remain in their habitats(栖息地). However, the message seems not to be stuck in the minds of children. The clownfish are facing the danger of dying out several years after the animated film was on, because the film itself made them the must — have pets for kids all over the world!
It is said that just half of needs can be met by clownfish bred in captivity(人工饲养)，which means the rest have to be taken from the sea. Now the average(平均的) size of clownfish schools (鱼群) in Australia, has decreased from twenty-five members to just six, making it harder for them to breed. Dr Billy Sinclair who has spent five years studying the clownfish was the first to raise the alarm, “The film did much to educate children about sea life but the fish were then sold as children's pets. My message to kids who loved the film is simple: Tell your parents to leave Nemo in the sea where it belongs.”

History is the story of us, human beings. Everyone who has lived and everything that has h are part of history. But history is not only what happened in the past. The word also means the study of the past, through old wrecords and other kinds of facts.
Why do we study history? One ris that we enjoy it. A good story is even better if it is true, and history is full of good sthough they can be terrible too. A more serious reason is to understand oand the world we live in. To understand events happening now, we need to know their causes. We cannot understand the pif we know nothing about the past. History helps us understand why things are the way they are.
Of course, history books cannot tell us everything about the past, not even everything that irecorded. A history of the world has to pick out the people and events tchanged the world.
