【正文】 ter attraction is now protected – just 5 per cent. Australia’s environment minister David Kemp said the new plans would increase protected areas to over 30 per cent of the 2,000 km reef. “The Great Barrier Reef is suffering very considerable pressures at the moment from increasing usage by tourists, by fishers, by the local people,” Kemp said. “It is very important that we give the reef proper protection for the future. It is Australia’s greatest natural icon(象征物).” The Great Barrier Reef lies off northeast Australia’s Queensland state. It brings about billion Australia dollars ( billion yuan) to the country each year through tourism and fishing. Kemp said the plan was expected to be put into action later this year. By then, it would create the world’s largest system of protected ocean areas. Companies who are caught breaking the rules will have to pay up to Australian dollars and individual(個(gè)人的) people may have to pay 220,000 Australia dollars.51.

It rains a lot in the mountains of Scotland and there are huge lakes high up. The water falls down through large pipes to a generator() in the power station. The energy of the moving water turns the generator and this produces electricity. A big transformer then increases the number of volts to over 400,000. The electricity goes through cables() to different parts of Scotland, England and Wales. The inside of the power station was very clean because it doesn’t burn coal or gas. It was also very quiet. I was very surprised. It was just like being in a hospital, really. I think hydroelectric power stations are much safer than nuclear power stations. They are also better for the earth than coal or gas power stations. Some countries like Sweden and the Netherlands have said they aren’t going to build any more nuclear power stations. They are going to try to make ‘clean’ electricity using water or wind. I think we should do the same and spend more money on building hydroelectric power stations.56.
