When people catch sharks,they cut off their fins and throw the shark back into the ocean.This is not only cruel,but also harmful to the environment.Without a fin,a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies.Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean's ecosystem.If their numbers drop too low,it will bring danger to all ocean life.Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain.But in fact,around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year.The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years. 翻译：当人们抓到鲨鱼的时候，他们就会切掉鲨鱼的鱼鳍，再把鲨鱼扔回到海洋当中。这不仅很残忍，而且还对环境有害。没有了鱼鳍，鲨鱼可能就再也不会游泳了，于是就慢慢地死去。鲨鱼处在海洋生态系统中的食物链顶端。如果它们的数目降至过低，会给所有海洋生物带来危险。许多人认为鲨鱼决不可能会濒临灭绝，因为在它们的食物链中它们是最强大的。但事实上，每年大约有7千万头鲨鱼被捕捉，并在该行业中进行买卖。在最近的20到30年里，某些种类的鲨鱼数量已经下降了90%以上。

Environmental protection groups around the world,such as WildAid and the WWF,are teaching the public about 'finning'.They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shark fins.So far,no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health,so why eat them?Help save the sharks! 翻译：世界各地的环境保护组织，如野生救援协会和世界自然基金会，都在教育公众有关“猎翅”的行为。它们甚至已经请求政府制定法律来阻止鱼翅的出售。到目前为止，还没有科学研究证明鱼翅对人们的健康有益，所以为什么要吃它们呢？不如帮助拯救鲨鱼吧！

Number of sharks caught and traded every year 翻译：每年捕捉以及买卖鲨鱼的数量

Sharks are at the top of the food chain,so if their numbers drop,the ocean's ecosystem will be in danger. 翻译：鲨鱼处在食物链的顶端，因此如果它们的数量下降，海洋生态系统将会处于危险之中。

Many think that sharks are too strong to be endangered,but they are wrong. 翻译：许多人认为鲨鱼太强大了，不可能濒临灭绝，但是他们错了。

Although there are no scientific studies to support this,a lot of people believe that shark fins are good for health. 翻译：尽管没有科学研究可以支持这一点，但是许多人却都认为鱼翅对健康有益。

You have probably never heard of Amy Hayes,but she is a most unusual woman.She lives in a house in the UK that she built herself out of rubbish.The windows and doors come from old buildings around her town that were pulled down.The top of the house is an old boat turned upside down.And the gate in front of her house is made of rocks and old glass bottles.Amy recently won a prize from the Help Save Our Planet Society.The president said, 'Amy is an inspiration to us all.' 翻译：你可能从来没有听说过埃米·海斯这个人，但她却是最不寻常的一位妇女。她住在英国，房子是她自己用废弃物建造而成。窗户和门都是来自她的小镇周围被拆毁的旧建筑。房子的顶部是一条翻转过来的旧木船。而她房前的大门则是用石头和旧玻璃瓶制成的。最近，埃米获得了由“帮助拯救我们的星球协会”所颁发的一个奖项。该协会会长说，“埃米对我们所有人都是一种激励。”

Amy isn't the only one who is good at recycling.Jessica Wong from Hong Kong uses old clothes that people don't wear anymore to make bags. She has been doing this for a few years now.

'I plan to write a book about new ways to use old clothes,' she said. 'I hope people can read my book and enjoy it!' 翻译：埃米并不是唯一一个擅长回收利用的人。来自香港的杰西卡·王使用人们再也不穿的旧衣服来制作包包。现在，她做这个已经有几年了。她开了一家小商店，在那儿卖她的包包，而且她也建立了一个网站，以便在网上销售它们。她特别喜欢使用旧牛仔裤来制作手提包。她的包包既漂亮又实用。“我打算写一本书，内容是关于一些使用旧衣服的新方法，”她说。“我希望人们可以读我的书并且喜欢它！”

Wang Tao set up a small business in Shanghai four years ago. He is known for using iron and other materials from old cars to make beautiful art pieces.Some are large pieces that look like animals or humans,and some are smaller pieces you can put at home. The more popular works can even be seen in art shops around the city. Wang Tao hopes to set up a 'metal art' theme park to show people the importance of environmental protection. Not only can the art bring happiness to others, but it also shows that even cold, hard iron can be brought back to life with a little creativity. 翻译：四年前，王涛在上海创办了一家小型企业。他因使用旧汽车中的铁和其他材料来制成美丽的艺术品而闻名。有一些是看起来像动物或人类的大型作品，还有一些是你可以摆放在家里的较小作品。更受欢迎一点的作品甚至可以在城市各处的艺术商店里看到。王涛希望创建一个“金属艺术”主题公园来向人们展示环境保护的重要性。艺术不但可以给他人带来快乐，而且也说明只需要一点创造力，即便是冰冷、坚硬的铁也可以产生活力。
