Australia's Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁) is the world's largest reef system. It is over 2,600 kilometers long. You can even see it all the way from outer space.
The reef is home to many animals: fish, birds, turtles, sharks and even whales.
Climate change, overfishing, tropical storms (热带风暴) and water pollution are damaging the reef every year. Coral (珊瑚) reef experts at Australian universities say that if we do nothing to stop it, the coral reef could be destroyed before 2030.
Everyday things like driving cars, using electricity and running a factory create greenhouse gases that go into the air. These gases make Earth warmer. This is a problem for the Great Barrier Reef and other reefs around the world.
Coral is very fragile (脆弱的). Even a 2-degree increase in water temperature is enough to kill it, according to Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, a reef researcher at the University of Queensland, Australia.
But it's not only the coral that's in danger. If air pollution is not slowed down or stopped, then the water will warm by at least 3 degrees in the next 20 years, according to reef experts in a recent report from University of Queensland.
| A. One-quarter of all sea life lives on coral reefs. B. Unfortunately, the reef that all these animals call home is in danger. C. But if you haven't been there, you'd better go soon before it's too late. D. This would spell the end for the Great Barrier Reef and all its sea life. E. Most scientists agree that humans are the main cause of climate change. F. If the water temperature doesn't go down, the coral will die. |
Steve Jobs was famous for starting Apple Computers. In a speech to graduating students at Stanford University, Jobs told students about some of life-changing experiences. Jobs believed these experiences helped him achieve success.
Job's biological mother was a college student. As a young mother, she felt unable to bring Jobs up so she put him up for adoption. Job's adopted parents were simple working-class people. When Jobs was 17, his parents used their saving to send him to college.
After six months of college, Jobs decided it was not for him. Around that time, he had read a quotation that went something like,“If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.”The quotation made him think about his life and his future. He started to question if he should stay in college. Was he doing what he really wanted to do? Eventually, he decided he had to change something; he decided to drop out of college.
Jobs was lucky because he knew what he loved to do. He started Apple Computers in his parents' garage with a friend when he was 20. In just ten years, Apple grew into a $2 billion company. However in 1985, Jobs was fired from the company.
Jobs was shocked. He lost everything at once. He quickly realized that he still loved what he did, and over the next five years, he started two highly successful companies. next and Pixar. Jobs also met his future wife, Laurence. Jobs was happily married with a family, working for Apple again and living every day as if it were his last.

Doing "Clean "Exercise
When you go for a run outside, chances are that you'll find litter all around you. Do you just go past it, or do you stop and pick it up? If you choose the second, you're part of the latest popular sport in the West: plogging.
The word "plogging" is the Swedish phrase" plocka upp"（ pick up） and the English word "Jogging"(running slowly)put together.
What a plogger needs is a rubbish bag and a pair of gloves to protect your hands. While collecting rubbish, ploggers learn to classify (分类)and deal with it correctly, too.
Plogging seems simple but it does a lot of good to both the environment and your health. It can not only make the world greener, but also get you full body exercise, For example, a 30-minute logging burns around 288 calories（卡路里）， compared to 235 calories burned from just jogging.
So next time you go out jogging, why not carry a rubbish bag and collect some litter along the way? Your body and the environment will thank you.
