Big ocean(海洋)fish have almost disappeared from the world since the start of business fishing in the 1950’s.The scientists found that the number of large fish has dropped by 90 percent in the past fifty years.The study took ten years.The researchers collected records from fishing business and governments around the world.The magazine Nature published the findings.
The scientists say the common way called longline fishing is especially harmful to large fish.This way includes many fishing lines that are connected to one boat.If these lines are joined together,they can reach one hundred kilometers.They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks to catch fish.Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry.Records show that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every hundred hooks.The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks.
The scientists say business fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past.The study suggests that large fish can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas within ten to fifteen years.Ocean life system could be destroyed.
It’s not the only worry that the number of large fish is becoming smaller and smaller.What’s worse.they are smaller in size than their ancestors(祖先).

While I was waiting to go into university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job wanted at a school about ten miles from where I   16 . Because I was in great need of   17  and wanted to do something useful, I applied(申请).
Three days later, a letter   18 . It asked me to see the   19  at Croydon. It proved to be a(n)   20  journey —a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of   21  a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling too hot to be nervous. Clearly, the principal   22  opened the door. He was   23  and round.
“The school” he said, “has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen.”
I should have to teach all the   24  except art, which he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into  25  groups and teach them at three different   26 , and I was not    27  at the thought of teaching maths —a subject which I didn’t do very well in at school. It was   28  that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon   29  most of my friends would be   30  themselves at that time.
Before I had time to ask about my salary(薪水), he got up to his feet. “Now,” he said. “you’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.”
