Join a Project There are many opportunities to become a citizen scientist in national parks. Check out some park-sponsored projects below. You can find additional projects on external sites like SciStarter.com and CitizenScience.gov. And if you're accustomed to using programs like eBird or iNaturalist, you can continue to do so in any national park, even on your own. What can you do as a citizen scientist in a national park? Most likely you’ll collect data and upload them to a database. In some cases, you can explore, graph, and analyze data. If the project is new, you may be able to make suggestions about study design or procedures. In all cases, you will learn and experience real science. And you'll do it in the places you love. | |

22、The gentle giants of our oceans are whale sharks. It’s the biggest whale shark and can reach as long as 41.5 feet, and these amazing creatures are not only the biggest sharks, but they are also the biggest fish of any kind.
Whale sharks have a lifespan of 70 years on average, and they spend their days gently swimming in the warm and tropical oceans.
Their teeth are the size of match heads, and while their jaws could be powerful, they have never tended to attack humans. Their teeth play no role in eating, as plankton(浮游生物) does not need to be chewed. They are to be found in numbers in the warmer oceans and they prefer the deep waters of open oceans. They tend to travel alone.
Several times a year they gather together in certain spots where plankton is plentiful. Those areas are all within a 30° north or south latitude from the equator. Sadly whale sharks are targeted by commercial fisheries at those spots.
How easy it must be for the fishermen to catch those beautiful creatures who can only swim at 3.5 miles per hour! So great a loss in numbers have they suffered that whale sharks are now listed as one of the endangered species. Some countries have started to take measures to protect the whale sharks from extinction.
The Philippines, India and Taiwan have all banned the fishing, selling, importing and exporting of whale sharks for commercial purposes. However, the law doesn’t seem to be effective because the hunting and killing still goes on today, especially in Taiwan and the Philippines. Each whale shark can fetch around $21, 000. In parts of Asia they are known as the "money shark".
The mighty dollar wins again at great cost to our habitat, and we will not know what we have lost until we have lost it forever. Therefore, it is high time for us to do something for the whale sharks.
【1】We can learn from the passage that whale sharks _________.
A.usually live a life of more than 70 years
B.always travel in the ocean in groups
C.depend on their teeth to harvest their food
D.live in the deep waters of warm oceans
【2】Why can the whale sharks be caught easily?
A.Because they swim in the oceans at a slow speed.
B.Because they are surrounded by so many fishermen.
C.Because they often gather together.
D.Because they never tend to attack humans in the water.
【3】It is implied in the passage that ________.
A.whale sharks will be extinct even if they are protected
B.whale sharks are the most dangerous marine animals
C.there is no law about banning the fishing of whale sharks
D.the huge profit is to blame for the decreasing numbers of whale sharks
【4】What is the main purpose of this passage?
A.To call for people to protect whale sharks.
B.To advise the government to make related laws.
C.To guide people how to fish and kill whale sharks.
D.To analyze the value of whale sharks.
23、When a child is choking, it means that an object is stuck in the trachea. When this happens, air can't flow normally into or out of the lungs, so the child can t breathe properly.
The trachea is usually protected by epiglottis(喉头盖) . It allows food to pass down and go into our stomach and it also prevents food from going down the trachea. But every once in a while, the epiglottis doesn't close fast enough and an object can slip into the trachea. This is what happens when something goes down the wrong pipe.
Most of the time, the food or object only partially blocks the trachea. If coughed up, breathing returns to normal quickly. Kids who seem to be choking and coughing but still can breathe and talk usually recover without help. It can be uncomfortable for them, but they're generally fine after a few seconds.
Sometimes, an object can get into the trachea and completely block the airway. If airflow into and out of the lungs is blocked and the brain will become short of oxygen, choking can become a life-threatening emergency. A child may be choking and need help right away if he or she can’t breathe or can’t talk or make noise.
If you have kids, it’s important to get trained in both CPR(心肺夏苏)and the technique of abdominal thrusts (腹部施压). Even if you don't have kids, knowing how to perform these first-aid procedures will let you help if someone is choking.
All kids are at risk for choking, but those younger than 3 are especially at risk. Young kids tend to put things in their mouths, have smaller airways that are easily blocked, and don't have a lot of experience chewing, so they might swallow things whole.
Take the time now to become prepared CPR and first-aid courses are a must for parent, other caregivers, and babysitters. To find one in your area, contact your local American Red Cross, YMCA, or American Heart Association, or check with hospitals and health departments in your community.

24、 Before she could even talk, Ellie Heath spent hours drawing pictures. When she grew older, the 15-year old girl discovered the joy of sewing and found it calming, She started out to make small objects, like jewelry and soft toys. Over time, she began making clothing.
Her love for the creative work led her to open a business. Three Blue Bunnies is the name of her company, which produces what she calls “wearable art”. “My definition of ‘wearable art’ is something often handmade, designed to make you feel unique,” she explains. She sells her creations in farmers markets, at sales for local churches, and other places.
All the pieces Ellie creates are made of used or donated fabrics. She says there are 21 billion tons of cloth material in waste landfills(垃圾填埋场) in the United States. The teenager hopes to reduce that amount through her work. She works a lot with jean jackets, renewing them with artistic additions. The process starts with finding cloth material that looks good with the jackets.
Ellie's mom. Amy Heath, is a former school art teacher. “Creativity feeds kids' brains. I think it's very important for children to have as many opportunities as possible and be inspired by as many objects and people,” Amy says.
Ellie sharpened her creative skills at school. Cheryl Crow was one of her teachers early on. Crow called Ellie “a dream student”. Ellie worked hard and was always very creative, but also very kind, helpful to the other students. Students learned the basic sewing skills in Crow's class. Over the last three years, Ellie has created clothing for theatrical productions at Severna Park High School. Last year, Ellie designed several pieces for actors to wear in the school musical drama.
Ellie has many dreams. She wants to be a teacher and spread the joy of creativity among students. She also dreams her business will grow and become a model for other young people who have a dream they want to come true.
