As a boy, Robert Ballard liked to read about wrecks (沉船) . He read a lot about the Titanic. “My lifelong dream was to find this great ship,” he once said.
On September 1, 1985, Ballard’s dream came true. He found the wreck of the Titanic. The ship was in two main parts lying about four kilometers under the sea. Using a video camera(摄像机), Ballard looked around the ship.
In 1986, Ballard visited the Titanic again. This time, he got to see the inside of the ship and took a lot of photos with the help of underwater cameras. When other people saw the photos, they wanted to visit the ship, too.
When Ballard returned in 2004, he found the Titanic in a very bad state. Other people had taken away about 6,000 things from the ship. Some even took pieces of the ship. Some people think the Titanic should be moved to a museum, but Ballard doesn't agree. “The deep sea is the earth’s largest museum,” he says. He thinks people should make where the Titanic lies a historic site (历史遗迹).

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests(客人) with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo (洗发水) and slippers (拖鞋) . 1..
But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. 2.. Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. 3.. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. 4. .
Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. 5. Do not use paper cups. At your school dining room, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
