Sea turtles (海龟) are cute animals, but they are in danger of going extinct (灭绝的). That’s mainly because many people kill them for food.
But this news may stop those people: Dr Nichols and other scientists have found that sea turtles take in a lot of pollution from the sea. It is bad for both sea turtles’ and humans’ health. Many people get sick and even die from eating sea turtle meat.
People in America don’t usually have sea turtles on their dinner table. They think eating sea turtles is gross (令人恶心的). Also, all the seven kinds of sea turtles are protected by law. But some people around the world still eat them, explained Dr Nichols. 揂t first we wanted to save sea turtles; now we want to save people, too.
Dr Nichols wants to send the information to people who still think sea turtle meat is good food. And he wants people to understand a bigger message: we should protect the sea. 揟he health of the sea, the health of the animals in the sea, and our own health all have close relationships. For a long time we didn抰 really realize it, said Dr Nichols. 揘ow it抯 clear that a clean sea is really good for us because of the food we eat from there.
( )16. What抯 the main reason for sea turtles going extinct?
A. Many people kill them for food.
B. The sea water is too cold for them.
C. The pollution in the sea is very serious.
D. There are few foods for them in the sea.
( )17. Why is it unhealthy to eat sea turtles?
A. Because they get polluted in the sea.
B. Because it takes a long time to cook them.
C. Because people can’t sleep well after eating them.
D. Because it’s easy for people to get fat by eating them.
(? )18. Why don ‘t Americans usually eat sea turtles?
① They think it’s gross to eat them.
② They are too expensive.
③ They don’t know how to cook them.
④ They are protected by law.
A. ①②??????? B. ①④? ?????????????? C. ②③??? ? D. ②④
(? )19. What does the underlined word “information” refer to?
A. There should be more laws to protect sea turtles and humans.
B. People should protect sea turtles and themselves by stopping eating sea turtles.
C. Some people around the world still eat sea turtles, although they抮e unhealthy.
D. There are close relationships between the sea, the animals in the sea and humans.
( )20. According to the passage, Dr Nichols may agree that ________.
A. most food we eat is from the sea
B. there will be more fish in the clean sea
C. we must try our best to make the sea clean
D. our health is more important than the health of the sea

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make the environment change. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce means 搖se less. Don抰 waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or that maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse means 搖se again. Use things for a long time if possible. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don抰 use a paper cup or a paper bag. It抯 better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means 揷hange things into something else. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it抯 better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy things made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

How to live a low?carbon life
As we all know, having a low-carbon life is very important to us.
First, I think having a low-carbon life can help us save a lot of energy. What’s more, it can help us reduce pollution and improve our environment.
We should pay attention to details in our daily life. One small step can make a big difference. For example, when we go outside, we had better ride a bike instead of driving a car. In order to keep the environment clean, we can plant more trees. When we leave the room, we should turn off computers or TV in time. While shopping, we can use paper bags instead of plastic bags.
