 Human-made noise pollution is the Earth’s oceans and seas is becoming a serious threat to sea wildlife. Scientists report that there is hardly an underwater place left where sea mammals can live in peace and quiet. Dozens of species of whales, dolphins, turtles and other creatures depends on sound in their communication, finding mates and hunting for food. So noisy environment is making it difficult to lead a normal life. This is according to a report from the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), called “Ocean Noise: Turn is Down”. The environmental group says noise from shipping, oil and gas surveys, offshore construction and watersports has reached dangerous levels for sea life.

    The IFAW says the distance over which blue whales can communicate is down by 90 per cent. It also reports that in the past decade, many whales have become beached after being disorientated because of loud noise. The group also warns that noise pollution is only going to get worse. There are 90 survey ships active in the ocean today. In addition, the number of ships sailing the seas will double by 2025. Mark Simmonds, a IFAW spokesman, said, “man-made noise is already causing a kind of acoustic fog”, and called for a “response to noise pollution in the underwater”.

   Choose (T) if the statement is True  and (F) if it is False.

__ 1. The noise humans make is harmful for creatures living in the oceans.

__ 2. There are very few quiet places left in the oceans.

__ 3. Sound doesn’t help sea animals to hunt for food and look for a mate.

__ 4. The distance over which blue whales can communicate has become larger.

__ 5. Noise pollution can mean whales lose their way and die on beaches.

__ 6. The number of ships on the seas is not going to change in the next 20 years.

__ 7. Mark Simmonds, a IFAW spokesman, said it’s very foggy in the oceans.

A story

    One day some Americans ware having dinner at a hotel in London. When fish was put on the table one of them, a young man said: “Let’s examine the fish carefully, perhaps we’ll find a diamond in it”. Everybody began to laugh, but an old man said quietly; “Yes, I’m sure we have all heard stories like that. Let me tell you what happened to me once.”

    “When I was a young man”, he began, “I worked for a big company in New York; and I was sent to England to do some work there. I was in love with a beautiful girl, and before I left for England, we decided that we would get married when I returned home.

I stayed in England for two months. I sent letters and postcards to the girl almost every day, but after the first two weeks I didn’t receive any answers. But I didn’t think anything was the matter, and before I left for home, I bought a beautiful diamond ring for her.

    On the ship one morning, a telegram was brought to me.  It was from a friend in New York, who told me that the girl had changed he mind and was going to get married to another man. I was so angry that I threw the diamond ring into the sea.

    My friend came to the port to meet me, and he invited me to dinner. While we were sitting down at the table and I was eating fish, I suddenly felt something hard in my mouth. What do you think it was?”

    “The diamond!” all the Americans cried.

    “No, the old man answered, “It was the fish bone”.

Road pollution is a serious danger to children’s health. Researchers from the University of California spent 13 years studying children who lived within 500 metres of  busy roads. They found that most of the 3,600 children in the  study had weak lungs. Researchers said this meant the children could have breathing problems for the rest of their lives. The main author of the study W. James Gauderman and his team conducted their research on youngsters who lived near busy roads and in high-pollution areas. Once a year, the team measured the children’s lung power. It checked how much air the children could release in one breath and how quickly it could be released. The team found that by their 18th birthday, children who lived within 500 metres of a highway breezed out three per cent less air compared with children who lived one-and-a- half  kilometres away. Further, the highway children’s lung power was seven per cent weaker in the rate at which they could breeze out. Gauderman said that: “Even if you are in a relatively low regional pollution area, living near a road produces lung problems”. About a third of the children moved away from busy roads during the study but stayed near the same area. Their lungs developed more healthily.

Choose (T) if the statement is True and (F) if it is False.

__ 1. Researchers monitored different children for 30 years.

__ 2. The text doesn’t say how many children in the study had lung problems.

__ 3. Living near a busy road doubles the chances of lung damage.

__ 4. Researchers tested the children’s lungs on a monthly basis.

__ 5. Children living 500 metres from busy roads had 30% less lung power.

__ 6. Living near a busy road is still bad even if it’s in a low-pollution area.

__ 7. Children who moved away from roads still suffered lung problems.

The perfect body

    Most people were surprised when Renee Zellweger got the part of Bridget in the film Bridget Jones’s Diary. The film is about a young woman who worries about work, her weight and men. Zellweger is a slim American woman – completely different from Bridget who is English and overweight.

So, what did Zellweger do to get the part right? She had lessons to improve her English accent and she put on about eleven kilos. For several months she didn’t do any exercise and she ate chocolate. Although, it was fun at first, she often felt quite sick.

Zellweger put the weight on because she thought it was important to be as real as possible. She was surprised, however, by people’s criticism. People criticized her for being fat when she put on weight for the film. She realized it’s almost impossible to have the perfect body in the eyes of media.

    So why did she do it? Well, money was probably one reason. On top of her 15 million salary, she earned $225.000 for every kilo she put on. That’s an extra $2.5 million! And she didn’t stop there. A British slimming magazine paid her $3.5 million to lose all the weight again. So perhaps Zellwegerdoesn’t need to care about the criticism when she earns all this money!

 Polar bear makes the list

    In spring 2008, the polar bear was placed on the endangered species list. An endangered species is an animal that can die in its natural habitat. Polar bear have been categorized as a threatened species that become endangered in the future.

    The polar bear is the first animal that has been classified as endangered due to global warming. Global warming is caused by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that become trapped in the atmosphere. Heating homes, driving cars, and burning garbage lead to global warming.

    The polar bear’s habitat is more sensitive to global warming than many other species. Polar bears live manly on the sea ice in the Arctic. This is where they hunt for fish and build up fat reserves. When the ice melts many polar bears move to land and live off their stored fat. In the Arctic, global warming causes the ice to melt slightly earlier and form slightly later. This results in a shorter feeding season for the polar bear. Some risk their lives to find ice. If they have to swim too far they will drown from exhaustion and hunger. The World Wildlife Fund estimates that 25% of the Arctic sea ice disappeared in the past 30 years.

It is not only the polar bear that is at risk in the Arctic. Every species of plant, animal, and insect there is threatened by global warming. Nevertheless, environmentalist groups such as the World Wildlife Fund often study large carnivores in order to assess the health of an ecosystem. The Arctic food chain relies on the polar bear. In addition, donations are more commonly offered for the protection of large animals such as bears or elephants. However, by using donor money to protect the habitat of the larger animals, entire ecosystems can be protected.

    It is important that animals such as polar bear make it onto the endangered species list. Once they are on the list there are laws that protect these animals from being hunted for food or sport. Agencies also receive money and tools to protect the habitat and recover the species. Since the Endangered Species Act was introduced in the US in 1973, many species have been taken off the list due to increased populations. In fact, it is rare for a species to go extinct after they make the list. Sadly many species do go extinct while waiting for consideration. -carnivores – хижаки

4. What major change has occurred in the polar bear’s natural habitat?

a) air temperature colder    b) ice extremely polluted    c) sea ice much reduced

5. What type of conservation efforts are people generally interested in?

a) saving insects and birds    b) protecting large animals    c) reforestation projects

Every week they have to learn a different ballrooms dance such as the tango, the waltz or the twist, and perform it live on TV on Saturday night.
