    　　Can storms in Africa cause asthma(哮喘)in the Caribbean(加勒比)? Islanders point to the desert insects that land on beaches after a 5,000-kilometer flight across the Atlantic．If they can use winds to get from one continent to another, so can clouds of dust that carry disease．

    　　Scientists think that as Africa becomes drier, dust from expanding deserts is being blown away into Caribbean islands．A study in Barbados shows that asthma has increased 17 times since Africa’s drought(干旱)began in 1973．

    　　Other forms of life are suffering, too．Among them are the Caribbean’s famous coral reefs(珊瑚礁), which began dying in large numbers in the 1900s．Eugene Shinn of the U．S．Geiological Sudrvey(USGS)in Florida went to the virgin Islands to study the reefs．The tests he and his colleagues carried out showed that the coral was dying of disease caused by Africa microbes(微生物)from across the ocean．

    　　William Sprigg of the University of Arizona is studying the problem as part of a major UN project．He says that dust is causing problems in the U．S．, too．

    　　“We are just beginning to collect the evidence of airborne(空气传播的)dust influences on human health,” he told The Washington Post．

    　　It was the middle of April of 1975．A large number of birds were flying northward． Thousands of ducks led the way as they usually do．

    　　But things were different that year．The north winds were very strong． Heavy snowstorms came quite late in the spring．The birds badly needed a place to get out of the storms and to rest during their long flights． Thousands of ducks found a place to rest in Nebraska．

    　　At that time a terrible disease that kills birds broke out in Nebraska．Ducks were dying in great numbers．Hawks that lived nearby were spreading (传播) the disease to the water birds that landed on the small lakes．

    　　The wildlife workers (野生动物保护工作者)were not able to stop the terrible disease．As they worried over the dying birds, they suddenly thought of something even worse． In a few days the whoopers (美洲鹤), one of the most beautiful birds, were going to fly across the state．

    　　What would happen if even one of the forty-nine remaining whoopers was to land near the sick birds? If a whoopers got the disease, it could spread to all the rest．

    　　A bad snowstorm blew over Nebraska as the first whoopers fought their way across the state． They were forced down by the storm． And they landed right in the middle of one of the places where the disease was spreading． A farmer was the first to see the nine whoopers on the lake．The wildlife workers quickly prepared to save the whoopers． They worked for long hours trying to frighten the birds away to a safe place．They fired guns, but the whoopers refused to move．

    　　At last it stopped snowing! With a small plane the workers were able to drive all but two of the whoopers to a safe place．

    　　All night long the workers stayed in the cold as they watched over the whoopers．Suddenly, as day began to break, the last two whoopers took off． They were driven by the airplane to a safe place．

    　　Slowly the winds became less strong． The nine whoopers flew off to the north． The wildlife workers were tired but happy．

    1．What was the unusual thing that happened in Nebraska in 1975? ______．

    [　　]

    　　In summer, millions of people will head for the beach．And while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful in another way．Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity．

    　　“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave?Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland．“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves．” Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity．Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean．“The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹)in the water, but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ” Taylor said．“Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey．”

    　　When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮)．The turbine can then power an electrical generator (发电机)．The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy, and it is already being used in Scotland．The resource is huge．We will never run out of wave power, besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil and coal．

    　　Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface．That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world．There are some drawbacks, however．Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money．He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown．Plus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic．With more research, however, “many of these problems might be overcome, ” Taylor said．“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world．Finding more energy sources is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day．”

    　　In the future, when you turn on a light switch, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!

    A．

    Wave power costs too much money．

    [　　]

    A．

    finding new energy sources like wave energy is important

    B．

    wave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the world

    C．

    wave power is perfect for creating energy around the world

    D．

    wave power doesn’t create any pollution
