Thailand's marine agency has promised to use the case to call for change in human behavior ahead of World Oceans Day, on June 8.The pilot whale was first found struggling (挣扎) in a canal in southern Thailand's Songkhla Province a week ago. Animal doctors tried to help the animal, and it managed to spit (吐) out about five pieces of plastic on Friday but then died.“This plastic rubbish made the whale sick and unable to hunt for food，” the government said. The department head, Jatuporn Buruspat, said the whale probably mistook the floating rubbish for food.The United Nations' environmental chief warned in December that humans are throwing eight million tons of plastic into the oceans every year, and it will soon come back to bite us.“At the present rate (速度), we'll end up with more plastic in the oceans than fish by the middle of the century, and finally that comes back to our own food chain，” UN. Environment Executive Director of the United Nations, Erik Solheim, told CBS News' Pamela Falk.“We need to understand that if we kill our oceans, we also kill ourselves，” Solheim said.The US. Environmental Protection Agency agrees, saying, “Following many years of uncontrolled dumping (the act of throwing away rubbish), some areas of the ocean became polluted with harmful pollutants including heavy metals and oils.”Although the US. is moving away from several UN. agreements and organizations, including the Paris Climate Agreement, UNESCO, and the Global Compact on Migration, the US. government appears to be on board to clean up the oceans, Falk reported in December.Solheim told CBS News “the methods are straightforward: There are plenty of natural alternatives to plastics. We don't need food stored in plastic bags, and we certainly don't need plastic straws (吸管) or throwaway plastic coffee cups.”“This is an environmental disaster caused by laziness that is easily fixed by a healthier way.”1What condition was the pilot whale in when it was found?AIt was seriously wounded.BIt was on the point of dying.CIt was floating on rubbish.DIt had died and was floating in a canal.2What does the underlined word “bite” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?AHelp.
