Even the bottom of the river was full of rubbish, and there were no more fish for fishermen to catch. Tony: No way! It used to be so clean. In fact, it has always been the nicest river in this town. Mark: Not anymore. I think people are throwing litter into the river. Factories are also putting waste into the river. Tony: That's terrible! We should write to the government. They should close down the factories. Mark: Good idea! But I think everyone in this town should help to clean up the river, too.

3a. Read the passage about sharks and complete the fact sheet below. 翻译：3a.阅读关于鲨鱼的短文，完成下面的实况表。

Save the Sharks! 翻译：拯救鲨鱼！

Many have heard of shark fin soup. But do you realize that you're killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup? 翻译：很多人都听说过鱼翅羹。但是每当你喝鱼翅羹的时候，你是否意识到你在杀一整条鲨鱼？

When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the sharks 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：当人们捕捉到鲨鱼的时候，他们切掉鲨鱼的鱼鳍，然后把它们扔回大海。这种做法不仅残忍，而且对环境有害。失去鱼鳍，鲨鱼再也不能在水里游泳，会慢慢死去。鲨鱼处于海洋生态系统食物链的顶端。如果它们的数量下降得太多，将会给所有的海洋生物带来危险。很多人以为鲨鱼永远都不会濒临灭绝，因为他们是食物链的最强者。但事实上，每年大概有七千万的鲨鱼被捕杀和交易。在过去的20年到30年里，某些品种的鲨鱼数量下降了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：世界各地的环保组织，如野生救援协会和世界自然基金会，都在向公众宣讲有关“猎翅”的（残忍）行为。他们甚至已经呼吁政府立法停止鱼翅的销售。到目前为止，没有任何科学研究表明，鱼翅对健康有好处，那么为什么要吃它们呢？帮助拯救鲨鱼吧！

Number of sharks caught and traded every year 翻译：每年捕获和交易的鲨鱼数量

How governments can help 翻译：政府如何提供帮助

Two environmental groups against 'finning' 翻译：两个反对“割鳍”的环保组织

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艾米・海斯，但她是一个非常不寻常的女性。她住在英国，房子是她自己用废弃物建造而成。窗户和房门来自于小镇周围拆毁的房子。房子的顶部是一条翻转过来的旧木船。房子前的大门是用岩石和旧玻璃瓶搭建的。艾米最近获得了“救助我们的星球”协会颁发的奖项。协会主席说：“艾米给了我们所有人一个启示！”

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. She opened a small shop where she sells her bags, and she has also set up a website to sell them online. She especially likes to use old jeans to make handbags. Her bags are cute and useful. '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：艾米不是唯一一个擅于废物利用的人。来自中国香港的杰西卡・王利用人们不再穿的旧衣服来制作背包。她已经这么做了好几年了。她开了一间小店来出售她制作的包，她还建了一个网站好在网上售卖它们。她特别喜欢用旧牛仔裤来制作手提包。她制作的包既可爱又实用。“我计划写一本关于用新方法来改造旧衣服的书，”她说，“我希望人们能阅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，王涛开始在上海经营小生意。他因使用旧车的钢铁和其他材料来制作艺术品而闻名。有一些（艺术品）很庞大，看起来像动物或者人，有一些小块的可以摆放在家里。你甚至能在这个城市的艺术商店里看到一些更受欢迎的作品。王涛希望能建立一个“金属艺术”主题公园，向人们展示环境保护的重要性。艺术不但可以给人们带来快乐，而且也说明只需要一点创造力，即便是冰冷、坚硬的铁也可产生活力。
