Most people want to work, but it has become more difficult in today’s world to find work for everybody. The economics(经济) of the world need to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people. Often it is not possible(可能的) and so more and more people are without work. Some people have no jobs now because new machines can do the work of many people in shorter time.

Also, machines do not ask for more money and longer holidays. In all of the countries of the world, machines are taking work from people, not only in factories but also on the farms. One machine often can do the work of forty people. About 75,000 people are moving to the cities a day to look for jobs, but only 70% of them can find jobs.

There are lots of animals on the earth. What is the biggest animal of all? The whale (鲸) is. A blue whale weighs more than a hundred tons(吨). Whales live in the sea, but they are not fish. They are mammals(哺乳动物) and must have air to breathe(呼吸). The babies drink milk from the mother’s body. Every spring, groups of whales swim hundreds of kilometers to warm places.

Each group goes to the same place every year. The mothers take very good care of their babies. Whales are a gentle kind of giant(温顺的庞然大物). They always live together and help each other. They “talk” to each other in the water with high noise that sounds like singing.

Yet people kill over a hundred whales a day. They kill them to make many things. The whale dies very slowly an in great pain(疼痛). Some ships kill every whale they can find, even mother whales and babies. If things go on like this, there will be no young whales growing up and no mother whales having more young whales (产下幼仔).
