拓展训练
一、阅读理解（2022春·浙江杭州·八年级期末）Jenny is excited to go to school these days. The 13-year-old girl is from South Gate Middle
School in Los Angeles, US. She is taking care of three green abalones (鲍鱼) at school.
The students of Violeta Llamas science class, including Jenny, have cared for the sea animals
since January. The science class has eight teams. Each team takes turns to care for the abalones.
Team Five—Jenny, Alexis, Jennifer and Ricardo—have now got their turn.
The abalones are kept in a box of seawater. Every day, Alexis checks if the water has too
much salt. Too much salt is bad for the health of the abalones. Jenny makes fresh seawater. Then
the four students work together to clean up the waste in the box and give some food to the
abalones.
“Sea life is like a baby. You have to clean them and care for them.” Jennifer said.
Nancy Cruse, a scientist, leads the project. She said the number of green abalones is going
down because people have caught too many of them. She said protecting the sea lives now
depends on the young students.
“The students love taking care of the abalones,” said Llamas.
“Taking care of the abalones could open the door for those who want to be a sea life scientist
or an environment protector,” she said.
The students’ time with the abalones will end this school year. Cruse and a team of volunteers
will record the abalones and then let them return to the sea.
