Nina is reading a book which described 37 endangered natural and cultural treasures in the world. The writers want the book to be a hopeful call to action. Let’s visit some of these places.

Venice

The ancient city of Venice, Italy has long been threatened（威胁）by rising sea levels. The situation is made worse by the fact that its ancient buildings, built on a body of water, are slowly sinking. When the city was founded about 1600 years ago, the level of the Adriatic Sea was almost 2 meters lower than it is today.

Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro in northeastern Tanzania, is the highest point in Africa, measuring almost 6,000 meters. The mountain supports 5 plant areas and many kinds of animals. The ice glaciers on the mountain are disappearing very quickly. This will have a bad effect on the mountain’s ecosystems（生态系统）and on Tanzania’s travel industry.

Also, a valuable record of thousands of years of weather history will also be lost if the ice melts.

Glacier National Park

In the United States, the icy blocks in Glacier National Park may soon completely disappear because of weather change. In 1850, there were about 150 glaciers（冰川）.There are 26 glaciers remaining today. Scientists estimate that the glaciers will be gone by 2030. Warm temperatures are also threatening the many kinds of plants and animals that live in this mountain ecosystem.

Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is the largest coral reef（ 珊 瑚 礁 ）system in the world. Rising sea temperatures are greatly harming the reef. In some areas, healthy yellow, brown and green reefs have become white. The coral whitens when it is in warmer temperature. Sick or dying coral affects the whole ecosystem of this special underwater area. Water pollution and visits by careless swimmers and divers also threaten the reef.

Bukkoji-dori

Japan

16 September 2012

Dear Mr. Mahita,

I was given your name and the address of your hotel by two friends of ours who stayed at the Sayuri last June. They were Mr. James Collins and Mr. Arthur Drake. You would perhaps remember James Collins, as he speaks fluent Japanese.

Both Mr. Collins and Mr. Drake spoke very highly of your hotel and all the help they received from your staff when they visited Kyoto.

Following their recommendations, I would like to make a reservation at your hotel for myself and my friend, Mr. Peter Sullivan. We would like two single rooms as close to each other as possible, next-door would be ideal for us. We would like to be in Japan for New Year’s Day and to be there for Adult’s Day, which we have been told is on the second Monday in January. So we would like our reservations to be from 31 December 2012 to 20 January 2013. I have also been told that you can arrange an English-speaking guide, certainly for the Machiya, the town houses of Kyoto, but also for other aspects of life in Kyoto. Can you also advise me on car hire in Japan, please?

I look forward to hearing from you with confirmation of the booking and advice on prices and payment – how much do you want in advance as a deposit (押金)?

I should perhaps mention that unlike our friend Mr. Collins, neither myself nor Mr. Sullivan speaks a single word of Japanese (unfortunately!). But I am told that you speak excellent English.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely

Ted Latham

The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.

About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen(职业运动员). They may be sportsmen for only few years, but during that time the best one can earn a lot of money.

For example, a professional football in England earns more than $ 30,000 a year. The stars earn lot more. International golf(高尔夫球) and tennis champions(网球锦标赛) can make more than $ 50,000 in a year. Of course, only few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is possible in sports for individuals like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: The stars can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertisement for sports equipment(运动装备) does not simply say “Buy our thing”. It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as ...” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or photographs of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.

A.organized games B.hunting wild animals and birds

C.games played during people’s spare time D.professional games

A.earns a lot of money B.plays a sport for a number of years
