I'm hardly alone, which is bad news for the world's oceans. Partly because more and more sushi is demanded, we're fast fishing out our seas. Some researchers estimate that if we don't change the way we harvest the oceans, all the commercial fisheries (捕鱼业) in the world could disappear as early as 2048. That could mean no more fish to buy in your local supermarket.
Fortunately, scientists are looking for ways to fish sustainably (可持续地). One method is a quota system that sets a limited amount to every fisherman or corporation who wants a share of the total catch for certain sea area. These catch shares get rid of the possibility to over fish.A recent study in Science found that the system can prevent fishery from dying and even make it better over time. "It's truly a win-win situation," says Steven Gaines, a marine biologist at the University of California at Santa Barbara and one of the study's co-authors.
Consumers also can help save the seas through the fish they buy. California's Monterey Bay Aquarium Institute is coming out with pocket guides to sustainable sushi. The researchers base their ratings on the health of a wild fish's population as well as the impacts of fish-farming operations. Oysters, for example, grow fast and can be farmed sustainably, but salmon can't. The researchers also take fishing practices into consideration: catching big-eye tuna (金枪鱼) can cause its nearby fish to die, which certainly no one wants to see. It is hoped that, by making the right choice, consumers can encourage businesses to fish in a more sustainable way.

Your Bean Steak (素肉排), Sir!
What sort of food are we likely to be eating in the year 2000?
Most people, when you ask them a question like that, either say: " There won't be any left, " or "Whatever it is, there won't be much taste in it." Of course, there are good reasons for being worried about the world's food supplies in the future.Nevertheless, not all the experts share these worries.
For one thing, although the world's population is rising fast, food production is keeping pace with it, even in developing countries.It is therefore argued that the main reason why people are hungry is not that there is a world food shortage but that methods of cultivation are not sufficiently advanced in some areas and the food is not fairly distributed (分配 ).
This does not mean, however, that our diet (饮食 ) will go on being the same.In many industrialized countries, people feed animals with grain to produce high-quality beef, even though the grain would feed the human population, and use fishmeal to fatten pigs to improve the quality of bacon.While not many of us would like fishmeal for lunch, its nutritional value is high and the unattractive fish it is made from can be presented to the public in colorful packets of fish fingers.
By the year 2000, many of these problems will have been solved.Scientists are already capable of making steaks from soy beans.It is quite obvious that there will still be enough to eat, if we are not too particular about where the food comes from and what it is made of.
1.Most people believe that food supplies in the future().
A、will become a very serious problem

A、poor farming methods and bad distribution
B、slow growth of food production
C、food shortages all across the world
D、fast rising population
3.The word "bacon" in Line 5, Para.3 most probably is().
A、a kind of "meat" made from grain
B、meat made from fish
C、food for fish
D、meat made from pigs
4.The word "particular" in Line 4, Para.4 means().
A、special
B、choosy
C、detailed
D、very exact
5.The title of this passage suggests that().
A、food in the future will be tasteless

Scientists in the UK have announced that the piranhafish"s reputation 21 a fearsome 22 may well not be deserved. The fish, which is found in the Amazon in Brazil, have been 23 as deadly carnivores(食肉动物 ) that work in shoals to overwhelm their prey and strip it of its flesh in seconds.
However, experts 24 St Andrews University say that piranhas are omnivores(杂食动物) that mainly eat fish, plants and insects. They form. big groups not to hunt but to defend 25 against other predators, according to the team.
"Previously it was thought piranhas shoaled as it 26 them to form. a cooperative hunting group," said Professor Anne Magurran. " 27, we have found that it is primarily a defensive behavior. "
Piranhas can be attacked by animals 28 dolphins, caimans and large fish, so forming a shoal is a good way of 29 being killed. Piranhas of 30 age stay in the middle of the group for 31 and the 32 of the shoal differs according to the level of 33 When the water level is 34, the fish form. small groups as there is space to escape, but when the water level drops, they form. large groups as protection 35 predators.
