The unknown world's mystery

The sea is the biggest unknown part of our world. It covers about seventy-one percent of the earth. There is still much to be discovered about this huge part of water. If the waters of the ocean could be removed, the sea floor with its wide valleys(峡谷), tail mountains and long rivers in the sea would be a special sight.

Tourism under the deep blue sea

From tourist submarines(潜艇) to underwater dining, undersea tourism is making a big splash.

Tourists can now explore(探索) the world under the sea without ever getting wet.

Tourist submarines

The popularity of submarine tours has grown fast during these years. Now, submarine tours have been on in more than 20 places worldwide, including the waters around Okinawa and Taiwan's Green Island. The submarines carry nearly 2 million tourists each year. Large windows give passengers special views as the submarines explore colorful coral reefs and sunken ships. Most one-hour tours cost about $ 80.

举一反三

    It is said that another acre of the world's forest will be destroyed forever. Why is this happening? There are two reasons — land and wood. In many countries the trees have been cut down because the land was needed for animals or crops. In other parts of the world the trees are cut down because their wood is wanted. This wood is used by local people for firewood or it is used for building. But many people don't know that in most places the trees won't be replaced. The soil in the forests is very thin, but it is protected by the trees. When the trees are cut down, the soil is washed away by the rain or blown away by the wind. Soon nothing can be grown on it. The forest becomes a desert. Then more land will be needed, and more trees will be cut down.
    When the forest is destroyed, it isn't only the trees that are lost — the homes of millions of animals and plants are destroyed, too. All kinds of animals are in danger — fish，reptiles, birds, mammals, insects, and shellfish — as well as thousands of plants.
    Who is to blame for this? The answer is simple: all of us. There are just too many people in the world. The world's population is now six billion. Of course, it's very easy to blame the local people. We don't cut down trees. They do. But the products are bought by people like you and me — wood houses, beds, tables, chairs, paper… Why are the forests being destroyed? Just look around. You are probably using it right now.

Going to the zoo is very popular. Every year over 134 million visitors go to zoos to enjoy watching and learning about the animals. Zoos are the only places that most people will ever meet an elephant, a tiger or other animals that are in danger. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. They help us to enjoy different kinds of animals as well as make us think more about nature(自然).

Zoos are also important to animals. In order to make more space(空间), food, and other things for ourselves, we leave less and less room for animals. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. If there were no zoos, more animals in the world would have gone extinct(濒临灭绝). {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. Some people think that animals should not be kept by people for any reason(原因). If they become extinct, then that's the way it should be. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. We should do everything we can to protect them(保护它们).
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} What's the best title of this passage?

A. The importance of the zoos.

B. Why do we keep animals?

C. Zoos or not?

D. How to protect animals.

   Can you imagine astronauts' everyday life in space? They also need to eat, sleep, exercise and relax. They do the same things as us, but they do them differently.
   On Earth, we put food on a plate. Gravity holds the food down and keeps it on a place. But there is almost no gravity in space, so food can float （漂浮）away, and astronauts must eat carefully.
   Sleeping is very different in space. Some astronauts like to float in the air, but most like to be in a sleeping bag. They tie the bag to a wall so that they won't float away at night.
   Exercise is very important in space. On Earth, your legs carry your body, but in space, astronauts float, so they do not use their legs often. This is very bad for their legs, so they must exercise for thirty minutes every day.
   After a day's work, astronauts relax. They may listen to music, read, watch films, play games, or talk to their friends and families on the radio. Sometimes they just enjoy floating in the air.

Gardening is popular in many parts of the world. It brings us sweet smelling flowers, fresh fruit and vegetables. But you can get more from your garden.

Gardening helps to keep healthy. Today's people sit indoors for too long and don't get much exercise. When you garden, you have to move around. It's a good chance for you to exercise your body by watering flowers or doing some digging. Besides, when you are in your garden, you can feel the warm sunshine. This means you are getting Vitamin D. It helps your bodies use calcium (钙), which is necessary to keep your bones (骨骼) strong.

It gets them off computers, televisions and phones. Gardening can be a great teacher to teach children about nature and healthy eating. It can also help them to understand the meaning of “No pains, no gains.”

Gardening is a great way to meet people and build relationships. When you are gardening, you are outdoors. So it is a perfect time to communicate with your neighbors. Most people love to talk about their hobbies, and so do gardeners. They usually enjoy showing people what they are growing. And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens.

Rubbish is a major kind of environmental pollution. Each person produces about 2kg of rubbish a day. We are making waste products faster than nature can break them down. And we are using up resources(资源)faster than they can he replaced(取代).

This adds up to trouble for the environment. Where does all that rubbish go? What can be done to help dispose of(处理)rubbish? How can we make less rubbish?

Rubbish isn't just the smelly rotting fruits, vegetables or meat that we throw away(抛弃) in our homes Those are only a small part of all tile stuff we throw away. We create other kinds of waste, in construction, mining and in our factories.

Did you ever wonder what happens to your rubbish? Most is burned(燃烧)or buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场). Less than a quarter of our waste is recycled(回收).

With a population of 1.3 billion(十亿), rubbish is a big problem for China. Chinese city create around 148 million tons of rubbish every year. The amount is growing at around 10 percent each year.

Once we used about 3 billion plastic shopping bags everyday in China. The result was a great waste of resources and serious pollution. So we did something about that. Now we use more cloth bags and shopping baskets when we shop.

In the coming years China will build waste-to-energy plants in cities to clean up the rubbish. But there's a lot more that needs to be done. And you can play a role.
