 On the surface, the Hudson River is looking good. The sun on a spring morning shines on the water, off bridges and boats. The blue crabs(蟹)are big,and the striped bass(条紋^) are bigger. On the surface, all these would probably make you think the Hudson was about as healthy as it has been since Indian times.

Sadly,it isn't. A study by the environmental group River-keeper examined an important in?dicator of life of any river,fish,and found discouraging news. Ten of 13 species it examined are reducing, and one―the great and delicious shad(西鲱)一is at a historic low.

  The report blames the usual suspects and a few new ones. The river is getting warmer,and the heat helps starve the water of oxygen. Power plants kill untold millions of fish when they suck up river water to cool their machinery. Invasive species, dirty water and fertilizer runoff and over-fishing in the ocean,where species like shad spend much of their lives,all take their toll.

  Not all fish are struggling. Striped bass are on the increase, as are bluefish and spot-tail shiners. But with other species moving slowly downwards, signs point to a sicker, less stable Hudson ecosystem than many had imagined.

  River-keeper's report shows how little we understand the biology of one of the country's most historic and important estuaries (河口,江口). It is a reminder that even the hardest-fought conservation(对自然环境的保护)victories may look like the easy ones,and that self-satisfaction can be the death of environmental progress.

A.     arouse our interest in the topic of the passage

The Lord of the Rings, one of the best sellers in the new millennium(千年),was made up of three parts ―The Fellowship of the Ring,Two Towers,and The Return of the King. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over25different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt,Tolkien and his cousins were fond of playing languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien,s becoming skilled in Welsh,Greek,Gothic,Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.

After graduating from Oxford,Tolkien served in World War L In 1917, while recovering from trench fever,he began composing the mythology(神话)for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford,Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings,which included  several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien,s imaginative work The Hobbit, Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural(乡村的)class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them,Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves (侏懦).On the way,he meets the twisted,pitiful creature Gollum,from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.

One of Tolkien's students persuaded her employer,publisher Allen & Unwin,to look at the draft(草稿).The chairman of the firm,Stanley Unwin,thought that the best judge for a children' s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting,and The Hobbit was published in 1937.

It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954,Tolkien produced The Lord of the Rings, a series of books so creative that they hold readers―new and old ―after their publication.
