It was dinner time for the Rangers，a group of mostly Indigenous（本地的）Australians who had spent a long day cleaning up the polluted beaches of the continent’s northern coast. Soon they would be eating freshly caught seafood cooked under the stars on an open fire，as their ancestors did.
The Rangers are of more than 100 indigenous groups spread across Australia who have taken on the job of protecting the land of their forefathers. I Arnhem Land，they are the protectors of 3，300 square miles of land and sea. They comb the beaches by hand，picking up as much rubbish as possible. The task is very difficult as each day it delivers waves of new rubbish.
For the rangers，cleaning the beaches is more than a vacation. For a people whose culture is strongly tied to the land，protecting the environment is equal to preserving their history.
However, colonization forcefully broke their connection to the land generations ago. Indigenous people were displaced and their cultural practices outlawed. Tens of thousands of years of traditional land management ended, and as a result many parts of the country now face serious disasters from invasive plant and animal species, bush fires and land mismanagement.
In recent years, the government has restored more than 20 percent of Australia’s land to indigenous owners. Since 2007, the Indigenous Ranger Organizations have been at work protecting this land.
Luke, one of the few non-indigenous employees working with the Rangers, said the combination of old and new techniques and an appreciation of the culture of indigenous workers could have been critical to the programme’s success.
“You are working with staff who see the world different to you, so there is a much higher focus on the cultural aspects of work and life,” he said.
“Being a ranger is a source of confidence. You feel strong,” said Terence, a senior ranger. “Here we still live on the land. The culture is still alive. ”

IV. 概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要
In the last few decades, scientists have reached a consensus and reported that human beings are causing changes in the earth’s climate.
In the last 50 years, gases pumped into the Earth’s atmosphere by the factories and vehicles have been speeding up the process of global warming and affecting our climate. Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth’s surface temperature that, in turn, leads to climate change. If we continue to produce carbon dioxide and other gases in such huge quantities, we are expecting severe consequences. Recent reports have warned that global warming will cause terrible climate change, including more frequent floods and droughts. Serious disease will spread and industries that rely on nature will be badly affected. Increasing temperatures will also cause the polar ice to melt, raising sea levels and flooding many islands and cities. How can we stop these disasters from happening
Governments all over the world should take on the responsibility, but this is no easy task. Some governments express reservations about whether global warming is really caused by human activities Many people believe that they are simply not prepared to give up the amount of money they make from industry to save the Earth.
But why wait for governments to take action Experts say that each person should play his part They suggest making small changes like taking public transport, recycling low-flow showerheads, and buying light bulbs that use less energy. Even simple things like using recycled paper or switching off the light when you leave a room can help. If we add up all these small changes made by everyone worldwide, they won’t be such small changes. They could be the changes that save our future
