February in Sanya is warm, but the seawater is very cold. The cold goes right 3 the diving suit into the body. During our interview, Ba and Zhang went 4 again. Each carried a basket with over 50 young corals. They dived several metres to the coral reef. Heavy diving tools are hard to carry on land, 5 they help them stay stable underwater.

二、阅读理解
① Glaciers are formed in areas of high snowfall in winter and cool temperatures in summer. They can come in different shapes and sizes. Some glaciers are small and they may only be a few metres wide. Some glaciers are large, and they can cover hundreds of thousands of square kilometres.
② About 10% of the world's land is covered by such different sizes of glaciers. They serve as natural reservoirs(水库) because about 75% of all the fresh water in the world is kept in glaciers. That's why glaciers are quite important.
③ Now some glaciers are disappearing because of global warming. As the Earth becomes warmer, glaciers melt quickly. Scientists believe that it will lead to serious results in the near future.
④ There will be more earthquakes. Large glaciers stop small earthquakes because the plates can't move much under these huge objects. In Southeast Alaska, some glaciers are gone, and the land is lifted. So the plates can move more quickly, and this leads to more earthquakes there.
⑤ Volcanoes (火山) will become "hot" again. Volcanoes are waking up because of the disappearing glaciers. Even volcanoes that weren't lively have broken out several times in recent years. Scientists said that the glaciers have something to do with it. The volcanoes will become "hot" again after the glaciers get thin.
⑥ People, animals and plants are in danger. Coral grows in salt water. The more glaciers melt, the more fresh water there will be, and it is not good for coral. People, animals and plants need fresh water from glaciers to live. They will be in danger if too much fresh water goes into the sea.
⑦ Something must be done. Many people are now living a green life which is a way of living with less carbon dioxide (CO₂). For example, they prefer to take public transportation and use both sides of the paper. These are helpful in slowing down global warming. With little effort and not much money, most of us can make a difference.
