题目:

It’s easy to see how the sawfish got its name. These frightful creatures can grow to be more than 6 meters long. Their bodies are flat and winged, like underwater airplanes. And their noses are shaped like chainsaws.
Sawfish are food hunters of the sea. When a sawfish is hungry, it waves its sharp-toothed snout(口鼻部)through a group of fish. Then, it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims.
Hardy(适应力强的)population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the world for thousands of years. Over the past 200 years, however, human actions have severely endangered sawfish. Threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals, often by mistake.
Some people collect sawfish’s snouts as prizes: One snout recently sold for nearly $ 1,600 online. In some Asian cultures, the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away. And sawfish are also delicious. A growing demand in Asia for the fish’s fins for a pricey soup has contributed to the fish’s loves. Compared with other fish, sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates, which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing.
New efforts now aim to restore sawfish population. Beginning next month, an international agreement will provide protection for all seven of the world’s sawfish species. Scientists are hoping that it’s not too late to save the sawfish.
Until 1998, “this fish had never been formally studied in the United States,” says Tonya Wiley of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Fla. “We didn’t know such basic things as where they live, what habitat they use, how often they breed, how many young they have — even what age sawfish are when they begin breeding.”
Through historical studies and field research, scientists have become aware of how much the fish’s numbers have decreased. Today, there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be. Wiley estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters.

     Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men. in which he looked millions of years ahead. He

told of different men and of strange civilisations (文明), broken up by long 'dark ages' in between. In his

view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First

Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.   

     However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some

possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred? The next thousand? The next million? That's much

more difficult.   

     When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern

life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive (原始的) in our ideas as the Stone-Age

hunters do to us. Perhaps through the cribe, These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things

and ideas that we simply can't think of.   

     So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First unless we remember

how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests

are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live because. we are

careless or greedy (贪婪) or quarrelsome. our grand-children will not bother to think of excuses for us.   

     Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite

fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming,

we can think of trying it now. So set you imagination free when you think about the future.
