Earth & a Living Planet
Earth looks like a big blue marble（玻璃球）; from high above the Earth and from the moon, the planet gleams and shines. The blue water in the oceans and seas of the Earth makes a dramatic image. The white clouds above the Earth add beauty to the picture. Water is the source of this beauty and the source of life on Earth. It is the reason people can live on this planet. Water is everywhere. It is in the air that people breathe. It is in the soil, the ground that grows the food. Water is in rock deep under the ground, in natural holding areas & in storage. In a real sense, water keeps Earth alive.
Nature has an unchanging amount of water. Nature has a perfect system for recycling water. Water is used again and again. It falls as rain. Then it goes to one of three places. It might sink slowly through the soil into the natural holding areas in the rock. It might disappear into the air quickly & by becoming vapor, or gas. It might run off into streams, rivers and oceans. By itself, nature can keep the balance and provide plenty of clean water for us. Nature recycles water.
However, people cause problems for this natural recycling system. Nature's recycling system can work well only if people work with the system and not against it. Some ways that people upset nature are easy to understand. For example, dirty sewage （污水沟系统） water from homes and factories must not mix with drinking water. People get sick from drinking contaminated water. Sometimes water from factories goes into streams and rivers. It enters into the groundwater. It can flow into lakes too. This kind of contamination from industry (waste water from factories) can be dangerous for people. If water contains poisons and chemicals, it is poison. Pois some poisons kill people as well as birds and animals. Without knowing, people can upset nature's recycling system.
Lakes and rivers add beauty to the world. People enjoy water for entertainment purposes, too. People enjoy swimming and playing in the cool water of a lake in the summer. They like to ride on boats on rivers. Many people enjoy catching fish in the rivers. They fish for food and for sport. However, in some places, the water of the lakes and rivers is no longer safe. These rivers and lakes are contaminated. The fish are dying because of the chemicals from farms and factories. People cannot swim in the polluted water.
There are other ways that people disturb nature. Some of these ways are not easy to understand. For example, of what use is a wetland? No one can plant crops on it. No one can build a house on it. Therefore, engineers have removed the water from some wetlands in order to make useful land. Many shopping centers stand on dry land today, land that was once wet and full of marshes. Yet the soft and wet ground of a marsh serves an important purpose in nature. In a marsh, the surface water can sink slowly down through the soil into the rock below. Nature's holding area fills slowly with that clean, filtered water.
Housing developments and shopping centers cover much of the Earth with paved and concrete surfaces. Water cannot sink through these hard surfaces. Rainwater cannot sink into the ground because of the buildings, roads, and parking lots. So it floods parking lots and flows into basements. Engineers build huge storm pipes or sewers （污水沟） to carry the storm water away, but these cause another problem. They carry all of the water away. Not much water can sink into the holding areas under the ground. The once unlimited supply of fresh, clean water is now limited. Nature's recycling system is in danger.
Because of water, Earth is a living planet. People can live here because of water. They build large dams to store water in huge man-made lakes. The water in these lakes can water farmland and provide water for cities. Water from the dams can make electricity, called hydroelectricity since it is made from water power. These hydroelectric （水电的） projects produce electricity for the people of nearby cities and towns. However, these dams also cause problems. In some places, the holding areas behind the dams have destroyed the environment for animals, birds, and plants.
One thing is certain & the balance of nature on this water planet is easily upset. And upsetting the natural water cycle （循环） on Earth makes significant problems for its inhabitants. All of us share these problems. Water gives life to our planet. We must learn to live in balance with nature, or our shining planet Earth will die.

&&& 地球- 一个有生命的行星
&&& 地球看上去就像一个巨大的蓝色玻璃球, 从高高的地球上空或从月球上望去，这颗行星熠熠生辉，闪闪发光。 地球上大洋大海里的蔚蓝色的水构成了一幅激动人心的图画。 地球上空漂浮的白云使这幅画变得更美了。 水是地球上的美丽之源、生命之源。 水是人们能在这颗行星上生存的根本。 到处都有水。 人们呼吸的空气中有水。 土壤，生长食物的土地里都有水。 水深藏于地底下的岩层里、在天然蓄水区里 -- 水就储存在那里。 从真正的意思上说，是水维持着地球的生命。
&&& 大自然里水的总量是不变的。 大自然拥有一套循环使用水的完美系统。 水可以无数次地反复利用。 它以雨的形式落下来。 然后它流向下面三个地方中的一处： 它也许会通过土地慢慢地渗透到岩层里的天然蓄水区； 也许会很快地变成蒸汽或水汽消失到空气中； 也许会流入小溪、河流和海洋里去。 大自然本身能够保持水的平衡并给我们提供充足的净水。大自然能够使水得到反复循环利用。
&&& 但是，人类却给这种大自然的水循环系统制造了许多麻烦。 只要人们顺着这个系统，而不是对它造成破坏，大自然的水循环系统就能很好运转。 人们搅乱大自然的某些做法是显而易见的。 例如：从家里和工厂里排放出来的污水是绝不可和饮用水混在一起的。 人饮用了被污染的水就会生病。 有时从工厂里排放出来的水流进了小溪和河流， 也会渗透到地下水里, 或流进湖泊。 这种工业污染 (工厂排放的废水) 会危及人类。 如果水里含有有毒物质和化学物质，水就成了毒物。 毒物会使人生病；有些毒物不但会毒死鸟和动物，还会毒死人。 人们就是在不知不觉中扰乱了大自然的水循环系统。
&&& 江河湖泊让世界变得更美。 人们还因为娱乐的目的而喜欢水。 夏天人们还喜欢在清凉的湖水里游泳和玩耍。 他们喜欢在河上泛舟。 许多人喜欢在河里钓鱼。 他们钓鱼不仅是为了美食，而且还是为了消遣。 但是有些地方的湖水和河水已不再安全。 这些湖泊和河流已被污染。 由于农场和工厂排放的化学物质，鱼儿正在死亡。 人们不能在受污染的水里游泳。
&&& 人们还以其它方式扰乱大自然。 其中有些方式就不易被人们理解到。 例如, 湿地的作用是什么？ 没有人能在它上面种庄稼, 也没有人能在它上面造房子。 为了利用湿地，工程师们把一些湿地里的水抽干。 在如今的干地、但曾经是潮湿的、布满了沼泽的土地上矗立着许多购物中心。 然而沼泽地潮湿、松软的土地在大自然里起着重要作用。 在沼泽地里, 地表水会通过土壤慢慢地渗透到下面的岩层里。 大自然的蓄水区就会慢慢蓄满干净的过滤水。
&&& 住宅区和购物中心使地球上许多地方的表面都铺上了混凝土。 水无法渗透过这些坚硬的地面。 由于建筑物、道路和停车场, 雨水无法渗入地下。 因此雨水就淹没停车场，流进地下室。 工程师们就建造了巨大的雨水管道或下水道来把暴雨雨水排出去，但是这些设施会引起另一个问题。 它们会把所有的水都排走, 能够渗透到地下蓄水区的水就不多了。 曾经能无限制供应的干净淡水，现在变得有限了。 大自然的水循环系统正变得岌岌可危。
&&& 因为有水，地球才成了一个有生命的行星； 因为有水，人类才能居住在这个星球上。 为了把水储存在巨大的人工湖里，人们建造了巨大的水坝。 这些人工湖水能浇灌农田，并向城市供水。 从大坝里流出的水还能发电，叫做水力发电，因为它是利用水力发的电。 这些水力发电工程能向附近城镇的居民供电。 然而这些水坝也造成了问题。有些地方, 水坝后面的蓄水区已经破坏了动物、鸟类和植物的生存环境。
&&& 有一点是可以肯定的- 这个有水的行星上的自然平衡是十分脆弱的。 扰乱地球上水的自然循环会对它的居民造成严重问题。 我们所有的人都会因此身受其害。 水给我们的星球带来了生命。 我们必须学会与大自然和谐相处。不然的话, 我们这个熠熠生辉的星球就会死亡。

十几元至一百多元的都有，鱼吃食的动作越明显）.0#一至二付，再做投资也不迟.4#的子线，座椅无所谓，价格40元至千元不等（视你经济情况而定，20元左右，2#左右的浮标一根，建议不宜买太贵的），鱼越大线用的越粗，3，可以先简单投资，架杆一根，再买上几包鲫鱼饵或鲤鱼饵，在渔具店花十几元绑几付0，一般为鲤鱼鲫鱼为长钓鱼种作为淡水鱼垂钓，带上个小塑料盆用来和食就可以钓了：购置3，但是线越细，盛鱼的东西用家里的塑料桶就可以，真正培养出兴趣了，等将来熟悉熟练了，用马扎就可以.3#或者0，可以用OC的2-3#金钩，一般主线10元-15元一付（视你们那儿鱼大小而定，不一定非要准备那么多东西.6米主线0.6#-1.6米鱼竿一根（软硬皆可）！建议你先做一下简单准备，特别是刚开始学，像你这种休闲钓，只要是不买很好的应该在200元之内了
