    Believe itor not, oceans and seas are easy to be harmed by the development of humansociety. They are also influenced by man-made pollution easily. It is human beingsthat do great harm to the ocean ecosystems (生态系统).

    The coralreefs (珊瑚礁) are fine ecosystems thatprovide food and protection for many ocean creatures (生物). The coral in almost all of the oceans is in danger frompollution. Chemicals from factories end up in the seas and oceans and destroy (破坏) coral reefs. If the coral systems die, some ocean creatures willbe sure to die out.

    Protectingthe ocean also has something to do with the protection of ocean wildlife likedolphins. The fishing industry depends on modern ways to catch many fish inorder to earn more money. But the nets for fishing also catch other seaanimals. The fishing boat workers are advised to check their nets and set otherocean animals free. But the boats are in a hurry to make money and often otherocean animals are caught with fish.

    Oil spills(泄露) can destroy the oceanenvironment because oil kills all ocean life. The world depends on oil andbecause there is plenty of oil off the shore (岸) inmany countries, the need for oil is more important than the risk of the oilspill. However, the fact is that one ocean mistake can lead to an oceanenvironment accident that will cause years ofdamageto the fine oceanecosystems. Oil spills will kill all the creatures in the area of the spill.The oil will be washed up on the shore and destroy the ecosystems along theshore, including birds.

    Everyonewho cares about the environment should pay more attention to protecting theocean, and all of us should do something for the protection of the ocean.

Dear Larry,

    It was lovely to hear from you again and to know that things are going well with you.

    Thanks for telling me all about the Chinese Moon Festival. It you enjoyed a great party in Inner Mongolia (内蒙古). It makes me think of the festival we in when we travelled in South Africa. The people there kept many goats (山羊), sheep and cows. Beef was expensive and was only for very special time. In all our time there we were never served beef in the villages, because beef is not usually served to visitors.

    , I happened to see these pictures and thought you'd like to see them. A Chinese girl gave Tang Suit to Joan and me when she left school. We tried them on in the university car park. Someone took photos for us though I was wearing my kilt (苏格兰短褶裙)! It seemed to be so different that some suggested that I could start a new look.

    We wore Tang Suit to a dinner which was held on the ship in August when we visited Germany. Some Chinese ladies came and spoke to us. They were interested in my traditional Chinese clothing.

    We both hearing from you again. Best Wishes!

Yours,

Ken and Joan

根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

    Somecountries are building a great wall of trees across Africa. It is called theGreat Green Wall. The aim is to bring life to the dry lands and help to fightthe bad environment.

    The wallis 8,000 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide. It covers from Senegal in thewest to Djibouti in the east, on the south of the Sahara Desert (撒哈拉沙漠). So far, Senegal has madethe best progress by planting about 11,000,000 trees.

    Many yearsago, there were few trees in that area and the winds used to be very strong. Itwas harmful to the fields. Also, there was little rain, so few plants couldgrow and many people went hungry. Since the tree planting project started, thetrees have provided food for the local people and increased the wetness (湿度) of the air. Little by little,there appeared green fields for people to grow plants.

    Theproject which began in 2007 is supposed to cost a total of 8,000,000,000dollars. Many countries are trying their best to help to continue the planting.So we will be able to see the whole green wall across Africa in the nearfuture!
