Human activity is changing the surface and temperature of the planet. New research shows it is also changing the sound of the Earth’s seas. According to a study     1     (publish) in the magazine Science, the changes in the sounds of our seas and other waterways affect many sea animals.  

For fish, sound is probably a     2     (good) way to sense their environment than light. Sounds help fish and other sea animals survive. They depend on sounds to communicate. Sounds also help some sea animals find food and avoid their hunters.     3     addition, many sea animals use sounds to find good places to mate(交配). However, increasing noise from humans now     4     (make) it harder for these sea animals to hear each other. The noise comes from shipping traffic, motorized fishing ships, underwater oil and gas exploration, offshore     5    (construct), and other noisy human activities.  

For many sea species, their attempts     6     (communicate) are being masked by sounds     7     have been introduced by humans. Also, the general number of sea animals     8     (decrease) by about half since 1970.  

Effects of noise on animals    9     (live) in the sea aren’t well understood. However, some studies suggest that noise may bring about hearing loss. The stress from human noise might also affect the immune system—an animal’s     10     (nature) defence system.

When people sit together and enjoy the glorious moon    1     the night of the Mid⁃Autumn Festival, an ancient poem, Prelude to Water Melody (《水调歌头》),     2     (read) for this occasion now and then.

He realizes the moon may not always be bright and that the imperfections, or the unsatisfactory things in life     5    (go) on since the beginning of time.  

However, should we get bogged (妨碍) down in the suffering which we can’t change? Su Shi gives his answer, a very     6     (optimism)one: change your attitude and stay positive. He hopes that people will appreciate the fact that     7     they are, as long as the ones they love and miss are healthy and happy, they can all admire the same moon high in the sky and share     8     (it) beauty.
