other water sports that are especially popular in Hawaii: surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving Surfing is a sport which started in Hawaii many years ago The Hawaiians called it “he’e nalu”, which means “to slide on a wave” If you want to try surfing, you need, first of all, to be a good swimmer You also have to have an excellent sense of balance You must swim out from the beach with your surfboard under your arm When you get to where the waves begin to break, you wait for a calm moment Then you try to stand up on the board The wave will begin to rise under you You must try to steer

allows you to see the most interesting undersea sights “Scuba” means “Selfcontained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”, that is, equipment for breathing and swimming around far under water In Hawaii, you can take special courses to learn how to scuba dive After the courses, you can get a certificate that will allow you to dive alone Since it can be dangerous, proper instruction and great care are always necessary when you are scuba diving If you are adventurous, you might try snorkeling instead of scuba diving Less equipment is needed, just a face mask, a breathing tube (snorkel) and flippers for your feet It only takes a few minutes to learn how to snorkel Although you cannot dive deep into the water, you can swim with your face below the surface Breathing through the tube, you float on

Some of the top threats are habitat destruction by unsustainable logging and ever-encroaching human settlement; pollution of water, soil, and air by toxic chemicals; unnatural climate changes due to fossil fuel use; unmanaged fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegal hunting to supply the demand for skins, hides, traditional medicines, food, and tourist souvenirs The list which conservationists presents only a fraction of the species at risk of extinction today and does not include thousands of species whose status we not yet know Hundreds of species without common names have been left out, which means that while many mammals are on this list, only a few insects and mollusks are included Species listed here range from the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, to the majestic tiger, to the humble thick-shell pond snail Large or small, beautiful or ugly, all species play a role in the complex circle of life All of us depend on the natural resources of our planet Each time a species is lost, the complexity, natural balance, and beauty of our world is diminished And what threatens plants and animals ultimately threatens people as well Question 28: According to the first paragraph _ A species extinction is only caused by hunting B human beings protect wife life much more than they harm to them C the main cause of species extinction is human activities D we can stop radically species extinction by 2025 Question 29: The North American bison _ A was completely extinct in 1800s B was not the aim of human hunting C was raised by settlers in 1800s D has escaped from extinction thanks to conservationists Question 30: Species are categorized _ A to prevent hunting B to provide food C to destroy their habitats D to give preferential right to conserve Question 31: Which sentence is true?
