1 . According to a 2010 report, up to 14 million tons of plastic from 192 nations went into the sea that year. That's more than twice the weight of the Pyramid of Khufu (胡夫金字塔). Plastics stay forever in landills, waterways and the oceans, and sea animals. An amount of (大量的) plastic is harmful to sea animals. Much plastic trash is washed up on the shore, which does harm to the environment.

Angela Haseltine Pozzi didn't like seeing that on the beach near her home in Bandon. She wanted to call on her community to clean it up. So she started an organization called Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea. Since 2010, more than 10.000 vonlunteers have collected 21 tons of trush from Oregon's 482 kilometers of shoreline. Using plastic from the beach cleanup, Ms. Pozzi and her staff and many volunteers create sculptures of sea animals.

Ms. Pozzi gives credit to everyone who helps. However little it is, their effort is highly thought of. Some people have picked up the plastic, and others have sorted the items by color. Still others have washed each piece of plastic trash. Ms. Pozzi is responsible for the detail work. More than 70 works of art have been created. Four travelling exhibits have displayed the sculptures in more than 18 places. Most sculptures are about 19 feet tall and take from six months to a year to complete. One of the first is Henry the Giant Fish, a 15-foot-long fish made of used bottle caps, toys and lighters, which received a great honor.

The Washed Ashore sculptures, hopefully, will make people aware of how so much plastic ends up in the oceans. Now, the Washed Ashore team is working on a sculpture of a dolphin, with plans for more sculptures. "Until we run out of plastic on the beach, the work will continue." Ms. Porzzi says.

2 . Young Chinese are increasingly making their voices heard and influencing world opinion as they take on more important roles in international organizations and global projects. At a ceremony in Beijing, singer and actor Karry Wang was made the National Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) by Erik Solheim, the organization’s executive director.

“The youth are no longer merely onlookers when it comes to environmental action, nor should they be. I will spare no effort to do everything I can to take care of our Earth, and I invite everyone to join me in generating a wave of positive action,” Wang said in his speech after the appointment. In 2016, Wang widely publicized the Wild for Life campaign, reaching 400 million viewers.

Beyond drawing attention to wildlife, he called on his followers to pledge to reduce their electronic waste through social media. Within 24 hours, his post was shared 1.67 million times and more than 400,000 followers signed the pledge. “Our actions will soon be the leverage to change the world.” Wang says, calling on the younger generation in China and around the world to raise their awareness of environmental issues.

Erik Solheim says, “It is inspiring to see the strong and determined voice of Chinese youth when it comes to the environment. When young people set their minds to change, it is incredible to see the great things that can be accomplished. We are very excited to work with Karry Wang to create even more awareness about the environmental problems and solutions.”

According to a UN report, young people’s participation will help achieve the sustainable development goals in the Asia-Pacific region set for 2030. Besides Wang, other UNEP Goodwill Ambassadors include actress Li Bingbing, Ellie Goulding and celebrities from all walks of life both from China and abroad.

3 . In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory ( 迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.

About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.

What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934?

A．The stamp price has gone down.

B．The migratory birds have flown away.

C．The hunters have stopped hunting.

D．The government has collected money.
