2、ve become extinct. Amphibians are animals, such as frogs, that live partly in water and partly on land. And they have been around for over 350 million years. They have 1 three mass extinctions, including the 2 of the dinosaurs. Why are they dying out now?The most serious aspect of amphibian loss, ho

3、wever, goes beyond the amphibians themselves. Scientists are beginning to think about what amphibian 3 means for the planet as a whole. If the earth is becoming unlivable for amphibians, is it also becoming unlivable for other kinds of animals and human beings as well?Scientists now believe that amp

4、hibian decline is due to several environmental factors. One of these factors is the 4 of habitat, the natural area where an animal lives. Amphibians are very 5 to changes in their habitat. If they cannot find the right conditions, they will not lay their eggs. These days, as wild areas are covered w

5、ith houses, roads, farms, or factories, many kinds of amphibians are no longer laying eggs.There are a number of other factors in amphibian decline. Pollution is one of them.

6、ming areas, the heavy use of 7 on crops has also killed off amphibians. Another factor is that air pollution has led to 8 levels of ultraviolet （UV） light.

16、TodayIs there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50 % of marriages end in divorce now, and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse, if this trend continues. It will lead to the breakup of the f

17、amily, according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times and extramarital affairs（婚夕卜恋）will be even more common than they are now.But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really

18、so depressing? The answer to the first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. The practice of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands as they usually didnt have jobs outside the ho

19、me. But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so they dont feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.Tn answer to the second question, the prospects may not be as pessimistic as they seem. While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples mar

20、rying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now cohabit（同居）and dont bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact, more than 50 % of first marri

21、ages survive. The statistics are unreliable because there is a higher number of divorces in second and third marriages than in first marriages.So is marriage really an outdated practice? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isnt. And it is also true that married couples have

22、 a healthier life than single people: they suffer less from stress and its consequences, such as heart problems, and married men generally consider themselves more satisfied than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful mamage and apply it to all of our relat
