Australian Great Barrier Reef -- a great collection of thousands of smaller coral(珊瑚) reefs, is the world’s largest reef system. It is over 2,600 kilometers long. It goes from the northern tip of Queensland to the state’s southern city of Bundaberg -- was given World Heritage(世界遺產(chǎn)) status in 1981. The UN says it is the “most biodiverse” (物種最為多樣性)of all the World Heritage sites, and of “great scientific importance”.

The reef is home to many animals: fish, birds, turtles, sharks and even whales. Unfortunately, the reef that all these animals call home is in danger.

Climate (氣候) change, overfishing, Epical storms and water pollution are damaging (損害)the reef every year. Coral reef experts at Australian universities say that if we do nothing to stop it, the coral reef could be destroyed(摧毀)before the year 2030.

Everyday things like driving cars, using electricity and running a factory give out greenhouse gases into the air. These gases make Earth warmer and warmer. This is a problem for the Great Barrier Reef and other reefs around the world.

Coral is very fragile, and even a 2-degree increase in water temperature is enough to kill it, according to Ove Hoegh-Guldberg reef researcher at the University of Queensland, Australia. Therefore, if the water temperature doesn’t go down, the coral dies. But it’s not only the coral that’s in danger. One quarter of all sea life lives on coral reefs.

If air pollution is not slowed down or stopped, then the water will warm by at least 3 degrees in the next 20 years, according to reef experts in a report from University of Queensland. This would spell the end for the Great Barrier Reef and all its sea life.

When we talk about snails, it is easy to think of their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They are in their shells-- sleeping. In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers (觸角), are very weak. But its sense of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food and the new greens.

Scientists have always believed that snails are not able to find their way home. But Briton Ruth Brooks, a retired (退休的)teacher, has found that it is not true.

Brooks began an experiment on snails after she got mad with the snails in her garden. The snails had eaten her vegetables. She didn’t want to kill them, so she took them to another place. But she found they always seemed to come back.

Brooks did an experiment. She marked the snails in her garden with nail polish (指甲油). She placed the snails in the area around her home and made notes of their movements. She found that snails have a strong homing instinct(本能); the longest returning snail traveled back 90 meters.

Brooks has been named Britain’s best amateur (業(yè)余的)scientist after her work won the BBC Radio 4 project, So You Want To Be A Scientist. She said, “I’ve always wanted to know whether the snails that eat my plants just come back when I move them, and if they do, what is their homing distance? “I would say on the evidence (證據(jù)) that it would be safe to take your snails away beyond 100 meters or even further. If you put them somewhere nice with some food, you can be almost certain that they won’t come back.”
