6、A normal conversation between strangers involves more than talk. It also involves the dynamics of space interaction. If one person gets too close, the other person will back up. If the first person invades the other’s space again, the other person will back up again. The person who finds himself or herself backing up is trying to increase the distance of the comfort zone. The person closing in is trying to decrease that distance. Most likely neither person is fully aware of what is going on.

In the 1960s, American anthropologist(人类学家)Edward T. Hall was a pioneer in the study of human behavioral use of space. His field of study became known as proxemics. Hall said that personal space for people in the United States can be defined as having four distinct zones: the intimate zone within 18 inches of your body, for whispering and embracing; the personal zone of 18 inches to four feet, for talking with close friends; the social zone of four to 10 feet, for conversing with acquaintances; and the public zone of 10 to 25 feet, for interacting with strangers or talking to a group.

Historians say that our standards of personal space began with the Industrial Revolution in the 18^th century. In cities such as London and New York, people of different social and economic classes were suddenly crammed together, so they unconsciously developed a commonly understood code of courtesy(谦恭有理)to restrict the space around them.

People exhibit nonverbal messages of discomfort when their zones are violated. Invaded people might tap their toes, pull at their hair, become completely rigid, or even become angry. As hall noted in his landmark work, a comfortable conversation needs to include the parameters of human personal space.

4、    Worms，antis，and flowers live in soil．Fish，crabs，and seaweeds live in oceans．Birds，insects，and moss live in trees．soil，oceans，and trees are habitats一places where animals and plants live ．Besides offering food and shelter, habitats allow for growth and reproduction．

    Humans, however，have destroyed many habitats．We change forests into parking lots. We turn grasslands into neighborhoods．We turn beach land into resorts．We turn 0ceans into chemical dumps．Some plants and animals adapt and survive．Others，however die．The changes are too much，too fast．Sometimes the death rate becomes greater than the birth rate．then the extinction occurs．An example of this happened on Florida's east coast，the habitat of the dusky seaside sparrow．This habitat changed suddenly as land was developed. And the sparrows were not able to adapt. More sparrows died than were born. In 1987 the  dusky seaside sparrow became extinct ．None exist in the world today．

    Fortunately，conservation efforts are underway．Many states have set aside land for nature preserves. Here，plants and animals live in their natural habitats．Some states have created man-made habitats ．Artificial reefs，for example，have been put in ocean waters. The artificial reefs are habitats for hundreds of fish and other marine life．In 1970 the federal government passed a law to protect habitats．'Ibis～that the efforts of development must be studied．A highway，dam，or power plant may not be built if plants and animals，endangered．We were too late to save the dusky sparrow．Hopefully，however，these new efforts will save other plants and animals．
