[1]There are some things money can't buy. One of them is a live dinosaur. Try though you might, you'll never find a living dinosaur for sale. If you're lucky, you may find enough pieces of a dinosaur to put a skeleton together. If you have enough money. you may even be able to buy a dinosaur skeleton. Not long ago, the largest and most complete. Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever found was bought at an auction by the Field Museum in Chicago for $7.6 million. But a fossilized skeleton, or a fossilized dinosaur egg, is as close as you'll ever get to owning the real thing.
[2]Of course, everybody knows that you can't buy a live dinosaur, or even find one. Dinosaurs lived on Earth a long time ago, but now they're gone. Nothing can bring them back. Dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago. They were wiped out by a deadly catastrophe that many scientists believe was triggered by a huge comet or asteroid crashing into Earth.
[3]It wasn't only the dinosaurs that became extinct in this "great dying"; scientists estimate that up to 90 percent of all other species living at that time, we refer to this great dying as a mass extinction. Scientists who study the remains of ancient life tell us that there have been five major mass extinctions in our planet's long history. Each one was caused by natural events, such as the changes in Earth's climate that caused the ice ages or the impact of comets and asteroids.
[4]We're in the middle of another mass extinction right now. Many people are calling it the "sixth Extinction." But unlike past extinctions, this one isn't being caused by icy rocks from space or sudden changes in the climate. It is being caused by humans.
[5]And it's happening much faster than the natural rate of extinction-the rate at which living things have disappeared over millions of years of Earth's history. It's difficult to say how much faster the present extinction is progressing because most of the species going extinct are unknown to science. Plus, scientists aren't really sure how many species there are on Earth.
[6]They've identified about 1 million different plants, animals, and other life forms, but that's just a drop in the bucket. Most scientists believe there are probably about 10 million species on Earth, and some think there may be as many as 100 million species.
[7]So how many species are becoming extinct? Let's first consider the natural rate of extinction. If there were just 1 million species on Earth, and scientists could check up on each species every year to see if it was still surviving, they would expect that about one species would become extinct each year. Of course scientists can't track all species that closely-but they do keep close tabs on birds. There are about 10,000 species of birds. If birds were going extinct at the natural rate, one bird should be lost to extinction about every 100 years. What scientists are actually seeing is that one or more birds are going extinct each year. This means that the actual rate of extinction today is 100 times greater than the natural rate of extinction. That's alarming!
[8]Taking all species of animals and plants together, scientists estimate that during the past century, the actual rate of extinction has been 100 to 1,000 times greater than expected. If there are indeed 10 million species in the planet, than 30 species are going extinct each day. In the next century, scientists predict the actual rate of extinction may be as much as 10,000 times greater than the natural extinction rate. In fact, some scientists warn that by the middle of the next century-about 50 years from now-half of all the species now living on Earth may be extinct. Another great dying is in progress-and very little is being done to stop it.
[9]How did this mass extinction come about? Scientists do not need to devise elaborate theories to explain this twentieth-century disaster. The causes are all around them. Human beings-through exploitation, neglect, and overuse of Earth's resources-are engaged in wholesale destruction of the other living organisms on this planet. We are killing off out fellow species at an appalling rate.
[10]When a species becomes extinct, no power on Earth can bring it back. Nothing can bring back the dinosaurs. If a particular species of bird, plant, or insect creases to exist, no amount money can bring it back. Extinction is forever. It's far worse than the death of an individual organism. When an individual dies, the children of that individual survive to carry on the species. But when a species becomes extinct, there are no children. The last dinosaurs left behind no descendants-neither did the woolly mammoth, or the dodo bird, or the passenger pigeon. Each of these creatures is now absent from Earth. If nothing is done, they will be followed into oblivion by the Bengal tiger, the California condor, and hundreds of other endangered species-species that are teetering on the brink of extinction at this very moment.
[11]Dozens of species are nearing extinction right now. The African cheetah has been displaced from its natural home as humans convert its grasslands to pasture and farmland. The black rhinoceros is illegally hunted for its horns, which are used for medicines and dagger handles. The black-footed ferret was nearly starved out of existence when its food supply-prairie dogs-was eliminated by human hunting and disease. The cichlid, a small fish native to Lake Victoria in East Africa, was nearly wiped out when non-native Nile perch were introduced into the lake.
[12]These are only a few of the species now on the road to extinction. And though you have probably heard about some of the most glamorous species in danger of extinction, many others are unknown to all of us. These unidentified plants, insects, and fungi represent a valuable part of life on Earth.
양이 좀 심하게 많죠ㅠ.ㅠ 죄송합니다...
하지만 진짜로 이거 급하게 해석해야 되거든요...
무슨 일이 있어도 금요일 되기 전에 해야 되요..
많다고 짜증내시지 마시고 꼭 꼭!! 해석 해 주셨으면 합니다...
제가 내공 꼭 드릴테니...부탁드려요!!!!!!
