    Imagine you are taking a walk on the beautiful beach. Just then, your feet step over something and you hear a crack (噼啪声) —an empty plastic bottle. Things like this are happening more often because of sea rubbish.

    Studies show that 80% of all the waste is from the land. The waste is mainly plastics (塑料制品) which are really hard to degrade (降解). So the rubbish will remain there for a long time. Some of the pollution is caused accidentally. For example, about 10,000 product-filled boxes are lost at sea every year from business ships. Sometimes people just throw things into the water from boats or land. Many large rubbish areas are formed in the North Pacific Ocean.

    Thankfully, the situation isn't ignored (忽视). Groups like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are taking action to help clean the sea. Since 2006,76 projects have cleared out 3,814 metric tons (公吨) of rubbish from the sea. Methods of rubbish cleaning include using machines to remove (移除) the waste away from the surface of sea water. Besides, special nets are set by the mouths of rivers to stop the rubbish before it reaches the sea. If everyone does his part, sea rubbish seems like a problem that can be solved.

Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't use it, we lose it.

    Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way6,"says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. "However,7they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they will8develop the skills. ”

    Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain9to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:

    If you are using a map, turn it so that it10to the way you are facing

    If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near11like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the12route.

    Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. 13your steps 14you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out were you are.
