        缅因州的几名渔民最近在美国第一所“金枪鱼学校”完成了一个学习项目。
        Several fishermen in Maine recently completed a study program at the country's first ever "Cod(金枪鱼) School."

它训练那些通常靠在海里捕鱼为生的渔民成为渔农。
It trains fishermen who usually earn aliving fishing in the ocean to be fish farmers.

该项目旨在帮助商业渔民找到开展贸易的新途径。
The program is aimed at helping commercial fishers to find a new way to carry out their trade.


        最近的一个早晨，一艘渔船离开了，但船上的人不是去钓鱼，而是去种地。
        On a recent moming, a fishing boat left, but the men on the boat were not going fishing, they were going farming.

他们要把笼子搬开，把金枪鱼分类。
They are going to move the cages and sorting codfish.

在离海大约1.5公里的地方，小船发现了8个圆形围栏。
About one and a half kilometers out to sea, the boat finds eight circular pens.

每一个都用橡胶管密封起来。
A rubber tube encloses each one.

围栏上盖着网料以防海鸟进入。
The pens are covered with netting material to keep out seabirds.

在每个50米宽的区域内，有多达5万条金枪鱼。
Inside each of the fifty-meter wide areas are up to fifty thousand cod.

这些鱼中的大多数将被摆上世界各地的餐桌。
Most of these fish will be served on dinner tables around the world.


        该项目将教学生如何喂鱼和不喂鱼过量。

        接受训练的渔农轮流把特殊的鱼食扔进围栏里。
        The fish-farmers in training take turns throwing special fish food into the pen.

当成千上万条金枪鱼浮上来进食时，气泡出现了。从船上用水下摄像机可以看到它们。
Air bubbles appear as thousands of cod come up to feed. They can be seen from the boat with an underwater camera.


        比尔·汤普森是金枪鱼学校的四个学生之一。
        Bill Thompson is one of the Cod School's four students.

他说，这个项目告诉他，养鱼是一个明智的选择。
He says the program has showed him that fish-farming is a wise choice.

他说:“即使野生种群恢复到最大容量，它们仍然无法养活全世界。
He said: "Even if the wild stocks came back to their fullest capacity they still wouldn't feed the world.

这就是未来的发展方向。
So this is the way of the future.

家族经营企业也是可能的。”
And it's possible for a family to run a business also."

蝙蝠生活在城市、沙漠、草原和森林。
Bats live in cities, deserts, grasslands and forests.

有超过1200种蝙蝠。

        许多人认为蝙蝠是瞎的，但这不是真的。

许多物种都有很好的视力。
Many species have very good sight.

大多数蝙蝠通过发出“回声定位”的声音来交流和找到它们的路。

它们产生高频噪音，并能通过反射回来的声音回声来估计物体的距离。
They produce high-frequency noises and can estimate the distance of an object by using the sound echoes that bounce back to them.

因此，虽然蝙蝠可能在完全黑暗中出行，但它们利用声音“看”。
So,while bats may travel in total darkness, they "see" using sound.


        可悲的是，蝙蝠被广泛恐惧和误解。大多数蝙蝠只有在傍晚才从它们的住所出来。
        Sadly, bats are widely feared and misunderstood. Most bats come out of their shelters only at nightfall.

它们还有助于控制昆虫。
They also help control insects.

蝙蝠吃大量的昆虫，包括破坏农作物的昆虫。
Bats eat huge numbers of insects including kinds that damage crops.


        例如，一只棕色蝙蝠一小时可以吃掉1000多只昆虫。
        For example,a brown bat can eat more than 1.000 insects in one hour.

一份报告称，蝙蝠通过减少农作物损失和减少对杀死昆虫的化学物质的需求，每年为美国农民节省数十亿美元。
One report says bats save American farmers billions of dollars every year by reducing crop damage and limiting the need for chemicals that kill insects.


        超过五分之一的蝙蝠物种正受到威胁。

它们面临着疾病和人类对自然环境的破坏。

在一些地区，疾病杀死了几乎100%的蝙蝠种群。

研究人员称，与20年前相比，美国人在社交上更加孤立了，工作、通勤和单身生活把他们分开了。
Americans are more socially isolated than they were 20 years ago, separated by work, commuting and the single life, researchers reported.

近四分之一的受访者表示，他们“没有”可以讨论个人问题的密友。
Nearly a quarter of people surveyed said they had "zero" close friends with whom to discuss personal matters.

研究人员说。超过50%的人列出了两个或更少的亲密朋友。
More than 50 percent named two or fewer close friends. the researchers said.

杜克大学教授Lynn Smith-Lovin说:“这是一个巨大的社会变化，它表明了一些对社会有害的东西。”
This is a big social change and it indicates something that's not good for our society, said Duke University Professor Lynn Smith-Lovin.

史密斯-洛文的研究小组使用了一项自1972年以来对1500名美国成年人进行的全国性调查的数据。
Smith-Lovin's group used data from a national survey of 1,500 American adults that has been ongoing since 1972.

她说，这表明自1985年以来，人们亲密朋友的数量出现了惊人的下降。
She said it indicated people had a surprising drop in the number of close friends since 1985.

当时，美国人通常会说他们有三个熟识已久的密友，
At that time, Americans most commonly said they had three close friends whom the had known for a long time,

经常见面，他们有许多共同的兴趣。
saw often, and with whom they shared a number of interests.

他们几乎同样可能说出四五个朋友的名字，
They were almost as likely to name four or five friends,

这种关系通常来自于他们的街坊或团体。
and the relationships often sprang from their neighborhoods or communities.

与一群亲密的朋友建立一个对社会有益的社会安全网。
Ties to a close network of friends create a social safety net that is good for society.

史密斯-洛文说，研究还发现社会支持和公民参与与长寿有关。
Research has also linked social support and civic participation to a longer life, Smith-Lovin said.

数据还显示，社会孤立趋势反映了其他阶层的界限:
The data also show the social isolation trend mirrors other class divides:

与美国白人和受过高等教育的人相比，非白人和受教育程度较低的人的社交网络往往较小。
Non-whites and people with less education tend to have smaller social networks than white Americans and the highly educated.

这意味着在日常生活中，个人遇到紧急情况或是遇到像卡特里娜飓风这样的国家灾难，
That means that in daily life, personal emergencies and national disasters such as Hurricane Katrina,

那些拥有最少资源的人就没有多少朋友来寻求建议和帮助。
those with the fewest resources also have the fewest personal friends to call for advice and assistance.

认识一个人并和他交换电子邮件是一回事。
It's one thing to know someone and exchange e-mails with them.

另一种说法是，‘你能载我出城吗，带着我所有的财产和宠物?
It's another thing to say,' Will you give me a ride out of town with all of my possessions and pets?

我能和你住一两个月或三个月吗?, Smith-Lovin说。
And can I stay with you for a couple or three months?, Smith-Lovin said.

担心被社会孤立并不是回忆温暖的过去。
Worrying about social isolation is not a matter of remembering a warm past.

哈佛大学公共政策教授罗伯特·帕特南补充道。真实的事物与此密切相关，
Real things are strongly connected with that, added Harvard University Public Policy Professor Robert Putnam.

他认为，灵活的工作时间可以让美国人兼顾个人生活和职业生活。
He suggested flexible work schedules would allow Americans to tend both personal and professional lives.

26. One reason for the social isolation of Americans is _____.
A. frequent relocation 频繁的迁移
B. frequent traveling 频繁的旅行

27. The percentage of people with more than two close friends is about _____.
A. 25%
B. 50%
C. 60%
D. 75%
解析：这是一道细节计算题，第二段说：近1/4的被调查者说没有能够讨论私人生活的的密友，50%多一点的人说有两个或更少的能够倾诉的对象，所以其余拥有两个以上密友的人只占25%。
