Coral reefs support more species per unit area than any other marine （海洋的）environment, including about 4,000 species of fish, 800 species of hard corals and hundreds of other species. Scientists estimate that there may be millions of undiscovered species living in and around reefs. This biodiversity is considered the key to finding new medicines for the 21st century. Many drugs are now being developed from coral reef animals and plants as possible cures for cancer, viruses, and other diseases.Healthy coral reefs support fisheries as well as jobs and businesses through tourism and recreation. About half of all managed fisheries depend on coral reefs and related habitats for a part of their life cycles. The National Marine Fisheries Service estimates the commercial value of U.S. fisheries from coral reefs is over $ 100 million, Local economies receive billions of dollars from visitors to refs through diving tours, recreational fishing trips, hotels, restaurants, and other businesses based near reef ecosystems.Coral reef structures also buffer （缓冲）shorelines against 97 percent of the energy from waves,storms, and floods, helping to prevent loss of life, and property damage. When reefs are damaged or destroyed, the absence of this natural barrier can increase the damage to coastal communities from normal wave action and violent storms. Several million people live in U. S. coastal areas near coral reefs. Some coastal development is required to provide necessary infrastructure （基石出设施）for coastal residents and the growing coastal tourism industry.Despite their great economic and recreational value, coral reefs are severely threatened by pollution, disease, and habitat destruction. Once coral reefs are damaged, they are less able to support the many creatures that live on them and the communities near them.When a coral reefsupports fewer fish, plants, and animals, it also loses value as a tourist destination.28.

Fortunately, thanks to modem technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But according to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you* re talking to, you should call them instead of texting.A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions （hat included voice created stronger social relationships than communication through typing.In the study, researchers conducted various experiments. In the first one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it'd be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better.“ People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone compared with email, and they didn't feel more awkward," said study co-author Amit Kumar.In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication made the strangers feel much more connected than when they communicated via text.Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard psychologist, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can a respond to information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person” . However, in fact, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. UA phone call is actually more convenient when considering the real effects of the message," she explains. " Each party is more present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without thinking over the endless possible meanings behind words/ 32 Which is the best for building closer connections according to the new study?A.

Why does Sabrina Romanoff consider making phone calls convenient?A. It can improve your communication skills.B. It proves a controlled form of communication.C. It can make it easier to understand each other.D. It avoids unexpected additions in conversations.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. You Should Call Instead of TextingB. Technology Builds More ConnectionsC. Communicate With Your Old FriendsD.
