外刊阅读 鲨鱼湾的生态系统堪忧
There is a place named Shark Bay (鲨鱼湾) in Western Australia. At least 28 kinds of sharks are swimming through the clear water there—the largest in the world. Especially tiger sharks are common visitors to Shark Bay. They move their 15-foot-long (about 4.5 meters) bodies through the seagrass, sometimes catching huge sea cows for a meal. Although tiger sharks are dangerous to them, they are important to the health of the ocean ecosystem. In fact, they can also be our powerful friends in stopping climate change.
It all comes back to the seagrass that moves with the waves in Shark Bay. The seagrass is food for the sea cows. Each eats about 40 kilograms of seagrass a day. By controlling the sea cow populations, tiger sharks in Shark Bay help the seagrass beds grow. A good seagrass bed stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests do on land.
But in the world, the tiger shark populations are becoming smaller, including some populations in Australia. Off Australia’s northeast coast of Queensland, it is said that tiger sharks have fallen by at least 71%, largely because of overfishing and bycatch. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass eaten and less carbon kept in the ocean.
In Shark Bay, the tiger sharks are able to achieve the balance by keeping sea cow populations down, and not all the bay’s seagrass is lost. But here comes the question: What if sharks disappeared from the bay The need to understand how they support their ecosystems becomes even more urgent.

时文阅读 海洋环境小卫士——机器鱼
Chinese scientists say they have developed robotic fish that can remove microplastic particles (微小的塑料颗粒) from water environments.
Researchers working on the project say the robots could help to clean up plastic pollution in oceans around the world. The robotic fish are about 1. 3 cm long. They are made of a soft chemical material. The robots are built to remove microplastic particles which are smaller than 5 mm while moving through the water. Studies have found that microplastic pollution has been found in many natural environments. The material comes from the breakdown of plastic products and industrial waste.
The project was started by a team at Sichuan University in southwestern China. The researchers say the robots have already worked well in shallow waters and they plan to take more tests in deeper waters. The team says the robots can be controlled by light. They can swim up to 2. 76 body lengths a second. This is faster than most similar soft robots.
Wang Yuyan is a member of the research team. According to her, the small lightweight robot is now being used to collect microplastics for research. She also says that the team plans to increase that use, so the robotic fish can remove lots of microplastic waste from deep ocean areas.
According to the team, the fish can take in different kinds of microplastics and even repair themselves when damaged. And if a robotic fish is eaten by a real fish, it can safely digest the material.
Wang says similar robots could be developed to be placed inside the human body to remove unwanted materials or diseases.

Better manners, better life
Good manners are ways of treating people so that people feel better about themselves and about each other. A person with good manners behaves politely.
As teenagers, what should we do for better manners When we are in public places, it’s polite of us to keep our voice down. We should be patient enough to queue until it is our turn.
What’s more, it’s important for us to have good table manners. When we are sitting at the table, we should not start until everyone is ready. It’s polite to wait for everyone to finish before we leave the table. At school, we must obey all the school rules to build our school into a civilized one.
As the saying goes, “Manners make the man.” I hope everyone can have good manners and try to be a better man.
