Off the coast of Hawaii’s Big Island swim masses of colorful tropical fish. Some of these fish will be caught and sold, ending up in aquariums around the world. Is the industry putting populations of the fish at risk?
Scientists who have studied the Big Island fishery say it is well managed. Rules put in place more than 15 years ago have helped to protect the fish. Along 35% of the coastline, for example, fish collecting is banned. Two years ago, the state cut the number of fish species for the aquarium trade from hundreds to just 40.
Conservationist Robert Wintner objects to the findings. Wintner, who owns snorkel shops across Hawaii, started the Snorkel Bob Foundation to protect the island’s coral reefs(珊瑚礁). He says he simply doesn’t see yellow tang(刺尾鱼)in the protected areas. “There should be millions of them,” he says. “Where are they?”
Wintner says people believe the numbers in reports. But few people have actually dived into the coral reefs to see for themselves how many fish can be found there. According to Wintner, the coral reefs along the coast should be filled with yellow tang, but they are “virtually empty”. Empty reefs are not good for tourism, Wintner points out, which brings out $800 million yearly. By contrast, the aquarium-fish trade brings out just $2 million yearly.
1.According to Robert Wintner, ________.
A. the yellow tang is sold merely for both food and the aquarium industry
B. there are millions of yellow tang off Hawaii’s Big Island
C. the yellow tang’s population off Hawaii coast is large
D. what the recent report says is wrong
2.Which of the following is caused by the empty reefs?
A. Worse tourism B. More fish death
C. More hungry people D. Less swimming events
3.What can be the best title for the text?
A. Who will Win the Debate?
B. Is the Tropical Fish Healthy?
C. How Should We Protect Tropical Fish?
D. Should the Sale of Tropical Fish be Banned?

I have always been the big fan of music, but to be honest I don’t know any person whom has ever openly disliked it. It’s one of true friend in life because it can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. With books, you have to be able to read, and music has no limits, no special conditions and was easily enjoyed by all. I don’t think there are many things in life for which have such a directly and clear influence on one’s feeling. Obvious, however, there are some people who are much influenced by music, and of course it depends what sort of music they’re into. Watch people react to one of their favorite songs is actually the best thing ever.
