scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. the noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. it is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. such noises are added to natural sounds. these sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves. decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. a noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. in water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninetyfive would have the same effect. some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. they have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales（鲸鱼）. a team of american and canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. the research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. this seriously affected the whales ability to exchange information and find their way. some of the whales even died. the explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected(被感染的). many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. they say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. however, many scientists dont think that noise is a greater danger than they believed. they want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.

left their homelands to start new lives in america. why did these people risk everything by leaving their homes and families?first, what forced emigrants to make the decision to leave? one major cause for european farmers to leave was the rise in population which in turn led to land hunger. another was politics. there was an increased taxation（税收） and the growth of armies, and many young men fled eastern europe to avoid being forced to join the army.physical hunger provided another pressing reason. following the collapse （衰退）of the economy of southern italy in the 1860s, hundreds of thousands decided to start a new life in america. religion also encouraged millions to leave the old world.in short, people chose to leave their homes for social, economic and religious reasons. as a result, by 1890 among a total population of 63 million, there were more than nine million foreign-born americans.but what were the attractions? first of all, there was the promise of land which was so scarce in europe. next, factories were calling for workers, and pay conditions were much better than back home. men were needed to open up the west and build the long railroads, and new towns needed settlers to live in and to develop business. there was the space for religious people to practice their faith in peace.this immigration meant that by around the 1850s americans of non-english had started to be more than those of english. as we know, there were losers. to start with, there were those unwilling immigrants, the slaves who had been used as a source of cheap labour. nor should we forget the equally unlucky american indians. by 1860 there were 27 million free whites, four million slaves and a mere 488,000 free blacks.nowadays, the usa is still seen by millions as the promised land. as always, it remains an attractive place to those who think it will offer them a second chance.【文章大意】本文叙述了在 1815 和
