Swimming in the water of Hawaii’s Big Island is a fun experience. And it can be more exciting if there are dolphins swimming around and jumping out of the sea too. For many people it would be a wonderful dream to swim with these lovely animals! However this may not be good for dolphins. They may get hurt because of human interaction (互动).

Dolphins are active and usually look for food at night. In the day they like to rest in shallow bays(浅湾). Many people think the dolphins are awake during the day as they swim. But when they sleep they rest half of their brain and keep the other half awake to breathe so they may be sleeping even when they’re swimming in the water.

From 2010 to 2013 spinner dolphins (飞旋海豚) of Hawaii’s Big Island appeared to human activities more than 82 percent of the time according to Julian Tyne a researcher at Australia’s Murdoch University.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says disturbing the animals in their near-shore habitat could force them to swim to less pleasant places where they may be attacked by sharks and other animals.

Moreover when people are around dolphins become more active. Thus they can’t get enough sleep. “Disturbing their resting behaviors can actually affect their long term health and the health of the dolphin population.” Ann Garrett of NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service said.

As a result the NOAA wants to make rules to help protect the dolphins. For example people may not be allowed to swim with the Hawaii spinner dolphins. Or they may stop people from swimming in shallow bays when the dolphins are resting. Tour operators must also be taught to watch for signs to know when the dolphins are in their resting state.

A.They keep half of their brain awake while sleeping

B.They like to stay in shallow bays during the day

C.They spend most of their time sleeping at night

D.They may be sleeping even when they’re swimming

2.When dolphins are disturbed in their near-shore habitat they ________.

I live in a town. In the past, the air wasn’t fresh. There was a river. People put rubbish in it. The water went bad. The fishes in the river died. There was much rubbish in the streets which weren’t wide. It smelt terrible. People lived in low old houses with trees all around and had a terrible life. The children couldn’t have many chances to go out to cities, not to say, have a good education. Farmers worked only with their hands. They worked very hard all year round. They planted crops(农作物)with the help of animals. The poor people went anywhere on foot, and only some rode bikes. Few visitors came here to spend their holidays.

At present, things have been greatly changed. People have moved into big bright houses or beautiful buildings. There is a big factory. Many people work in it. They are getting richer. Different kinds of cars and buses are running in the big streets. It is faster and easier to travel. People plant many fruit trees and get much money. People plant crops with the help of machines which can save lots of work. Students can study in a modem school. People pay more attention to the environmental protection. The mountains are becoming greener, water much cleaner. What around us is the clearer sky and greener water. As a result, many visitors come here to spend their holidays. People enjoy their modern life. But with the development of the industry, we have fewer trees. Air and water pollution is becoming more and more serious. We must do something to stop pollution to make our town more and more beautiful.

There is a famous English saying “You are what you eat”, and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts use it to tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.

“When we say some people ‘sweet’, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps his word can help us learn more about people’s feelings and acts.” said Brain Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone’s character and behavior depending on their taste.”

In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character-whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.

In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate nonsweet food such as chips weren’t. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.

The result of experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.

1.The underlined word “it” refers to(指代) ______.

A.the sweet food      B.the eating habit

C.the American team   D.the English saying

2.According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people ______.

A.overweight    B.excited    C.relaxed    D.friendly

3.The scientists found that the people who preferred _____ were less helpful.

A.ice-cream    B.chocolate    C.chips    D.cookies

4.It can be learnt from the passage that _____.

A.scientists asked college students questions about their future

B.scientists told college students not to eat sweet food

C.people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others

D.people’s character has nothing to do with their taste.
