On a global level, it has been listed among the World Heritage Sites4Unlike most other national parks, Everglades National Park was created to protect an ecosystem （生态系统）from being damaged.

Today, the park comprises a vast wetland wilderness unlike any other in the world.Different islands make up Everglades National Park. There exists natural wildlife on each of these islands. The Everglades is home to more than 20 species that are endangered. In addition, more than 360 species of birds and nearly 300 species of fish live within the park.

The difference also exists in the letters of the alphabet （字母表）.Or, more specifically （具体地），the last letter of the alphabet. Z is pronounced as "zed" in Britain while in America, it is pronounced as "zee". 1 It's what you'll hear in every English-speaking country, except for the United States.2 Many of our modern letters come directly from the Greek alphabet, including a letter which looked just like our "z" The Greeks called it "zeta". "Zeta" gradually developed into the French "zede", which in turn gave us "zed" as English was shaped by Romance languages like French."Zee" showed up on the scene in modern English. Dr. Adam Crowley, an associate professor of English in Husson University's College of Science and Humanities, suggests that the popularity of "zee" grew because it rhymes （押韵）with so many other letters, like B, C, and P. 3 So, again, this makes sense.After the Revolutionary War, Americans were trying to set up an identity separate from the British, and words and language played a big role in this. 4 He, sure enough, chose "zee" as the “official" American pronunciation.And then, there's The Alphabet Song. In the song, z is pronounced as "zee”. 5 Indeed, teachers in England and other countries sometimes have to re-teach children how to pronounce z after they've already learned "zee" from hearing the song.A. "Zed" came first.B. Noah Webster led this movement.C. The pronunciation sounds foreign to Americans.D. But it's not just the United Kingdom that uses "zed".E. There's no other letter that ends with the "ed" sound.F The song is so popular that it easily gets stuck in your head.G. In the United Kingdom, though, "zee" never really became popular.
