Hey Steve, she said, I know you39。ve always been an animal lover. I39。ve just had a baby and I can39。t keep my mini pig. Being fond of animals, I knew I wanted the pig. I just had to figure out how to make it happen. I lived in a twobedroom singlelevel house in Georgetwon, Ontario. It39。s tough to bring a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats, and my lifelong partner. But I was not letting that pig go. So I told Laura I39。d take the animal. When I got home with the pig, I hid her in the bedroom, and began to prepare a dinner for Alisha—her favourite bacon cheeseburgers. It39。s better to make her happy before introducing the new member to her. When I led her to the bedroom and showed her the surprise, Alisha stood in the doorway like a statue. It took her a few seconds to know what I had done. She plained about my unreasonable action. She insisted there was no more room in the house. I knew I was wrong, but I hoped I could smooth things over. Soon enough, the lovely pig did the smoothing for me. Never had we felt such joy as she brought to us. We got her a name Esther. Esther39。s arrival changed our lives. A few weeks later, we decided to stop eating bacon. We figured it was our turn to try to change the world for other animals. A few months later, we moved to a farm where we cared for abandoned animals—so far, six rabbits, six goats, two sheep, one horse, three cows and three chickens.(1)Who does the underlined phrase my lifelong partner in Paragraph 2 refer to?

His grandfather and his father were ocean explorers and documentary filmmakers. Fabien spent his early years on his grandfather39。s ships. Today Fabien follows in his family39。s footsteps to protect the planet39。s endangered ocean life. With his vast knowledge and experience, he tries to strike a balance between environmental problems and market economies. Fabien is well known for his study of sharks. During 20002002, he created a TV special called Attack of the Mystery Shark based on the shark attacks that occurred along the New Jersey shoreline in the summer of 1916. Then in 20032006, with the help of a large crew, Fabien created a shark submarine (潛艇) that enabled him to put himself inside the shark world, providing people with a rare view of the mysterious and often misunderstood creatures. For the next four years (20062010), Fabien was part of a series called, Ocean Adventures, which offered a rare look into some of the most fantastic ocean species (物種) and environments. In 2010, Fabien started Plant A Fish, a nonprofit project for children to help restore local water ecosystems by replanting key ocean species. Save the world, one fish at a time. The project is still in progress now and its final goal is to plant 1 billion fish worldwide.
