[2026 辽宁沈阳期中]In the ocean, many animals use sounds to find food, friends, and directions. But human activities make a lot of noise underwater. The noise is bad for the lives of ocean animals.
One reason for the loud underwater noise is the use of sonar（声呐）starting from the 20th century. Another main reason is pile driving（打桩）. Piles are mostly used to support bridge building. Workers drive them deep into the ocean floor. Driving one pile can take a few hours and need about 5,000 hits. This work makes a lot of noise.
To reduce the noise, some companies use small bubbles. One bubble breaks easily, but bubble walls can take in some noise. These bubble walls are very helpful. They were used around pile driving for a bridge in California.
Other changes to pile driving can also help. For example, people can stop pile driving for a while and let animals swim through. If possible, they can even give the animals some food. Small changes can help ocean animals—both big and small—live better lives.
11. What do many sea animals use sounds to do?

12. What are piles mostly used to?

13. How are these bubble walls?

14. What small daily things can people do to protect the earth? Share one example and the reason. (Write 30 words or more.)
