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 theyre swimming in the water. from 2010 to 2013, spinner dolphins (飞旋海豚) of hawaiis big island were exposed to human activities more than 82 percent of the time, according to julian tyne, a researcher at australias 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 favorable places, putting them at risk of attack by sharks and other animals. besides, when people are around, dolphins become more active. thus, they cant get enough sleep. “disturbing their resting behaviors can actually affect their long term health and the health of the dolphin population,” ann garrett of noaas national marine fisheries service told the associated press. as a result, the noaa wants to make rules to help protect the dolphins. for example, the agency (机构) may ban swimming 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. 21which of the following about dolphins is not true?a. they spend most of their time sleeping at night.b. they like to stay in shallow bays during the day.c. they keep half of their brain awake while sleeping.d. they may be sleeping even when theyre swimming.22when dolphins are disturbed in their near-shore habitat, they _.a. would swim to a crowded place b. could move closer to sharksc. could become less active d. could likely sleep longer23which activity is against the rules?a. swimming with the hawaii spinner dolphins.b. swimming in bays where the dolphins live.c. making signs that show the dolphins resting state.d. making signs that show where the dolphins are.24what does the article mainly talk about?a. what habits dolphins have. b. what spinner dolphins are.c. how the animals live in the sea. d. how to protect dolphins near the shore.a young man named ted received a high-priced car from his brother as a christmas present. on christmas eve when ted came out of his office, a street urchin

were no use to the villagers. all they had to do was catch them. agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. for the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. but the dream didnt last long. the change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. more worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.the villagers decided that they couldnt just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. they would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. soon there was no money left.then the people realized what was happening. it was the frog. they hadnt been useless. they had been doing an important job-eating insects. now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. they were damaging the crops and spreading
