Big ocean fish have almost been endangered since the start of business fishing in the
1950s. 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
businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published(发表)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(连接) to one boat. If these lines are joined together, they can reach one hundred kilometers. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks(钩) to catch fish. Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese
fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every
one 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. 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).

The Greenest School in Britain
The pupils and teachers at Fairfield School think it's worth looking after the environment! This is what they've been doing:
Growing vegetables
Fairfield School pupils started their own vegetable garden. Both children and teachers plant and water the seeds ( 种子), then I hey pick the vegetables, which are used in school meals. Now they can all enjoy healthy food at lunchtime. "School dinners are tastier than ever before! " says one pupil.
Recycling
The Fairfield pupils don't just bring their books to school—they bring their rubbish too! There are recycling bins (回收箱 )in the playground for cans, plastic bottles, batteries and paper. The teachers give a prize every month to the pupil who's tried the hardest to recycle.
Planting trees
"This used to be one of the least beautiful areas of the city with no green areas, says the head teacher Lynne Johnson. "Now every child has planted their own tree, which he or she looks after during the week. They've made the view from the classroom more beautiful!
Finding cleaner ways to get around
Everyone walks or cycles to Fairfield School! "When the roads are busy, it’s faster to ride bikes than to go by car anyway,” says one pupil. Even the teachers don't use their cars. "We won't encourage our pupils to look after the environment if we don't do it ourselves! " says one teacher.
