 Some places are so beautiful or so important in the history of the United States that the na?tional government has set them aside to protect them. They are cared for so that everyone now and in the years to come can enjoy them.

 Ranking at the top of these places are the national parks. There are also historical parks and sites, national monuments, military parks, battlefield sites, national, cemeteries, memorials, parkways, and state parks. All together they make up the national park system of the United States. They are managed by the national park service.

 The oldest of the national parks is Yellowstone. It was made a park in 1872. Now the Unit?ed States has more than 30 national parks. But Yellowstone is still the largest with over two mil?lion acres.

 The government hires many workers to take care of the parks. There are scientists who know a great deal about wildlife. They see to it that the animals of the parks can roam around arid live as they naturally would. There are scientists who know a lot about insects and diseases that might harm the trees and wild flowers. There are scientists who know a great deal about the rocks of the region. There are rangers who see to it that the visitors follow the park rules.

 The national parks are wonderful playgrounds. There are places for campers. And there are cabins to rent and lodges with dining rooms where visitors may stay as they do in a hotel. In ad?dition，there are wonderful opportunities for hiking， taking boat trips， fishing， swimming， ex?ploring the wilderness, and even climbing mountains.

 The parks,however, are more than just interesting and beautiful. They have been called the biggest summer schools in the world. In each park there are scientist guides to explain to the visitors what they are seeing. There are museums, too,with exhibits to show visitors how the regions came to be as they are. Every year millions of visitors go to the national parks.

 Rising temperatures, rising sea levels and other trends are having an effect on the world's sea turtles. All female turtles come ashore at nesting beaches, dig nests in the sand,lay their eggs and then return to the sea. Erosion of nesting beaches caused by rising sea level and more intense storms adds the potential for further dangers to nesting beaches where people，dogs and rats already prey on the eggs of marine turtles.

  Climate change directly affects the reproduction of sea turtles in three ways. First, sea level rise will affect significant nesting beach areas on low-level sand beaches such as Bonaire, the Maldives and the Great Barrier Reef. Second, rising temperatures increase the chance that sand temperature will exceed the upper limit for egg incubation(姅化) ，which is 34t. Third,rising temperatures bias(使偏向) the sex ratio toward females because temperature during incubation determines the sex of the egg. Loggerhead turtle nests in Florida are already producing 90 per?cent females owing to high temperatures，and if warming raises temperatures by an additional

or more,no males will be produced there.

  Adult feeding patterns are also affected by climate change. Sea grass beds are in decline, water temperature is higher on inter-tidal sea grass fiats, and coral reefs, typically feeding grounds for green turtles, are affected by bleaching(漂白) .

  Sea turtles have existed for more than 100 million years and have survived ice ages. As a result, they may be able to respond to unfavorable nesting temperatures, by seeking out new nesting sites. It may however take decades or centuries for sea turtles to re-establish and stabilize their habitats，and steady human development of coastal areas makes the availability of new hab?itat for them very limited.

(   ) 1. What will happen if sand temperature is higher than 34^3?

    A. More females will be born.   B. Turtle eggs will not hatch.

   C. Females will lay fewer eggs.   D. Newly-born turtles will die.

(   ) 2. In what way does climate change affect adult turtles?

    A. They can't find enough food.   B. They have lost their habitat.

   C. Their feeding patterns are affected.   D. Their living habits are changed. 

(   ) 3. What can we learn about Loggerhead turtle nests in Florida?

    A. They already have an imbalanced sex ratio.

    B.They can hardly survive the high temperature.

   C.No more males are produced now.

   D.Most of them die young.

(   ) 4. We can infer from the last paragraph that______ .

   A.human development constantly threaten the survival the of sea turtles

   B.climate change can't threaten the survival of sea turtles

   C.sea turtles can get used to cold climate

   D.it's easy for sea turtles to find new habitat
