One solution is to change shipping routes to courses where ships are statistically less likely to meet animals. It39。s also possible to slow ships down to 18km/h or less, which is less likely to seriously injure a whale. As for dealing with the root cause of the problem, the UN39。s International Maritime Organisation has already published guidelines on how to quieten ships, but it will be a while before the effects of such changes might be observed. The ocean is not our world, ments Andre. But it is ours to look after. And thanks to his work, we can better understand the effects of subsea sound pollution.（1）What does the underlined word desensitised in Paragraph 2 mean?

I remember as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side on a cold wintry night. My mother39。s voice changed my world. Long before I could read on my own, she shared with me the strength and beauty of McCloskey39。s language a story of a little girl and her mother out in nature, coexisting with a mother bear and her own baby. The power of the story, of language and of my mother all came together. And it happened many times after that, over and over. The read aloud made me a reader. Years later, I was reading aloud a picture book to a small child in a classroom. His life, so far, had not been easy. His childhood was troubled by poverty and loneliness. In that moment, in the joy of the read aloud, he had an idea that started something big. What he said was this: Mrs. Allyn, let39。s make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Let39。s have a holiday for the read aloud Therefore, my organization, LitWorld, created a grassroots movement World Read Aloud Day in 2010 to honor this young boy39。s wish for everyone to be able to have a read aloud every day. Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has bee a worldwide event reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world. This year we are over 600 cities strong, a number that is growing every day. Children who grow up as readers bee engaged citizens of the global world, and every child deserves the right to read. When I say that reading aloud will change the world, I know it sounds simple. But one of the many great things about giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing them together is that it is simple. It is also cheap and easily done. And the impact is huge. （1）How did the author39。s parent change her life?
