27、I dont know what it was, but something caught my interest,” says Orren, now 14. Today Orren has 23 chickens, four ducks, and 250,000 bees.

34、 bB Every year gray whales swim a 10,000 miles round-trip, from the cold waters near Alaska, down the coast of North America to the warm waters near Mexico, and back again. It is one of the longest migrations (迁徙) of any mammal.All day, all summer long, in the cold waters near Alaska, gray whales ea
35、t and eat.Instead of teeth, gray whales have baleen (鲸须) they use to get food from ocean water. They get big mouthfuls of muck (淤泥) from the ocean floor, then push that muck right back out through their baleen. The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up.W
36、hen the water starts to freeze, the whales begin their long trip south. They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest. During the long journey, migrating whales may push their heads out of the water to see where they are.Two months later, the whales reach Mexico. Babies are born here in w
37、arm, shallow (浅的) waters called lagoons (濒海湖). Ocean lagoons have no food for the adults, but the babies are safer here than in the open seas.

41、nic food, you might be wondering whats so special about it. Is it really better for you? How does that work? This text will give you a short introduction to the subject. Organic food is produced without the use of artificial fertilizers or pesticides (insect and bug killers) and many people buy it b
42、ecause they think its better for their health. Whether thats true or not is still debated, but there are lots of other reasons for organic food. Intensive agriculture (集约型农业) gives us cheap and plentiful food, but its also one of the biggest sources of environmental pollution. According to a report
43、by the World Resources Institute, half of all the chemical fertilizers ever produced have been used since 1984. Fertilizers and the much more deadly 第 11 页 共 19 页 pesticides and herbicides (weed killers) used with them finally find their way into rivers and seas. Sometimes they break down harmlessly
