A study has shown low ecotourism in the Philippines has transformed people's attitudes towards marine（海洋的）conservation.Researchers from the University of Victoria in Canada and other institutes in Philippines，visited three sites where tourists pay to swim with whale sharks in the wild.They interviewed a range of locals in Oslob，Donsol and Pintuyan，including fishers and ex-whale shark hunters.At Oslob，the largest of the three sites，people were more likely to speak about the resulting improvements to their quality of life and an increase in job opportunities.At the smaller less profitable sites，responses were more likely to be about the changes in how people behaved towards the sharks.
   Dr.Jackie Ziegler，who led the team from the university's Marine Protected Areas Research Group said，"Many of he people we spoke to reported they now care about and value whale sharks because of tourism activities.They also expressed the community's emotional connection to the species and the strong need to protect them.Before the introduction of tourist activities，most of the locals admitted to harming the sharks by hitting them with stones，harpoons，paddles，dynamite or riding them." In terms of attitudes towards the wider marine environment，the majority of respondents now actively encourage others to care for ocean and they also use more sustainable fishing practices.
   The study also acknowledged the potential negative effects of tourism on the marine environment，such as impacts on the health of local coral reefs and of the sharks.It concluded that further studies were needed to assess these impacts before firm conclusions could be drawn regarding the positive impact of whale shark tourism on ocean conservation.
   Nevertheless，the researchers say their work suggests ecotourism can be an effective means of strengthening protection. "It was fascinating to hear the importance so many local Filipino communities place on whale shark tourism.Bringing in the views of the local tour operators to the study was imperative（必要的）in uncovering the true impact of whale shark tourism and the wider benefits to ocean conservation in the Philippines，" Dr.Jackie Ziegler added.

1．Everyone knows that fish is good for health．（1）

But it seems that many people don't cook fish at home．Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year，but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home．Buying，storing，and cooking fish isn't difficult．（2）

This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way．
（3）

Fresh fish should smell sweet：you should feel that you're standing at the ocean's edge．Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn't fresh．（4）

When you have bought a fish and arrive home，you'd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don't cook it immediately，but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two．Frozen fish isn't as tasty as the fresh one．
There are many common methods used to cook fish．（5）

First，clean it and season it with your choice of spices（調(diào)料）．Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound．（A larger one will take more time．）Then，it's ready to serve．

A．Do not buy it．
B．The easiest is to steam it．
C．This is how you can do it．
D．It just requires a little knowledge．
E．The fish will go bad within hours．
F．When buying fish，you should first smell it．
G．The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease．

2．What do you use your fridge for：It can not only keep your food cold，but also make ice and freeze food．But in the future smart fridges may do much more than you can think．They may tell you what food is inside，what food you need，what food is healthy for you，and even shop for you，too!
   Some companies are making online fridges which have a computer screen on the door．And it can be very useful that the computer is linked to a supermarket through the Internet．For example，when you finish your orange juice，you can put the empty juice carton（紙盒包裝） near the computer screen．The computer reads the bar code on the juice carton．Then it orders more orange juice from the supermarket．You can also use the computer screen to order other things from the supermarket．The computer screen has a series of things that are in the store．You can choose what you need．The supermarket will send the food to your home．
   Companies are making other kinds of "smart" appliances（電器），too．There is a new kind of microwave oven（微波爐） which has a computer memory．It can remember 365 different cookbooks．There is also a smart mixer that can remember cookbooks．Even it can test ingredients for you!
   Of course，sometimes these smart appliances don't work．When they do，they will tell you．And then they can call someone to fix them，too!

3．How to Work Out Your Worries by Writing
Something troubling you？You should write about it!Research indicates that people who write about a difficult situation often show improved mental and physical health.
   （1）

.It is a specific technique，and it's different from writing in a journal.The idea is to reflect honestly and thoughtfully on a particular challenge.
   Hundreds of studies over several decades have looked at the potential benefits of expressive writing.It can strengthen the immune system，including for people with illnesses such as flu，cancer and depression. （2）

   Expressive writing works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience，experts say. （3）

Then translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts.And creating a narrative gives you a sense of control.
   But expressive writing isn't a magical cure-all solution. （4）

.And people coping with a severe injury or depression may not find it useful to do on their own，without therapy （治療）.
   （5）

？Thinking or talking about an event can lead to reflecting，where you become lost in your emotions.Writing forces you to slow down.The mere act of labeling a feeling—of putting words to an emotion—can lessen the nervous activity in the threat area of the brain.Writing can increase someone's acceptance of his experience，and acceptance is calming.

A．Why write
B．What if you don't write
C．It can also help improve mood，sleep and memory
D．Expressive writing gave people the courage to face fears
E．It shouldn't be used as a replacement for other treatments
F．The first important step is to recognise what it is that is bothering you
G．Psychologists refer to writing about an unpleasant experience as "expressive writing"
