The freezing Nrtheast hasn’t been a terribly fun place t spend time this winter, s when the chance came fr a weekend t Sarasta, Flrida, my bags were packed befre yu culd say “sunshine”. I left fr the land f warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking f beaches and range trees. When we tuched dwn t blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer f gratefulness. Swimming pls, wine tasting, and pink sunsets (at nrmal evening hurs, nt 4 in the afternn) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly t my taste, dulled by mnths f cld- weather rt vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure t the Sarasta farmers’ market that prved t be mre than wrth the early wake-up call.
The market, which was funded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday frm 7:00 am t 1 p.m, rain r shine, alng Nrth Lemn and State streets. Baskets f perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides f the Java Dawg cffee truck; and mst f all, the tmates: amazing, large, sft and rund red tmates.
Disappinted by many a brken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) prmise, I’ve refused t buy winter tmates fr years. N matter hw attractive they lk in the stre, nce I get them hme they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I hmed in, with uncertainty, n ne particular table at the Brwn’s Grve Farm’s stand, full f fresh and sft tmates the size f my fist. These were the real deal- and at that mment, I realized that the best part f Sarasta in winter was ging t be eating things that back hme in New Yrk I wuldn’t be experiencing again fr mnths.
Delighted as I was by the tmates in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brwn’s Grve Farm is ne f the suppliers fr Jack Dusty, a newly pened restaurant at the Sarasta Ritz Carltn, where- luckily fr me- I was planning t have dinner that very night. Withut even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be rdering every tmat n it.

Cral reefs (珊瑚礁) are a unique cean ecsystem cnsisting f rcky structures mainly frmed by crals and sme ther cean life. Despite nly cvering 0.2 percent f the cean flr, cral reefs supprt at least 25 percent f marine species, as well as prviding fd and ecnmic security fr hundreds f millins f peple.
Hwever, cral reefs acrss the wrld are under threat. Warmer ceans can cause the cral bleaching (白化). It happens when the crals lse clred algae (海藻) living in their bdies and turn cmpletely white. Withut the algae, the crals lse their main fd surce and can die. In additin, as ceans becme mre acidic (酸性的) frm absrbing CO₂, crals in acidic cnditins becme weak in frming reefs.
In 2021, the United Natins reprted a 14 percent lss f crals acrss the wrld largely frm rising sea temperatures since 2009. Australia declared mass bleaching events in 2022 acrss large parts f the Great Barrier Reef, fur times since 2016. Data frm the Philippines shwed higher than usual cean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused serius three-year bleaching events in reefs acrss the planet.
Scientists have been cperating t see hw cral reefs can be prtected. Thankfully, they find thse cral reefs in the ht parts f the glbe are the least affected. They cntain crals with better heat resistance. S their research fcuses n finding genes fr heat tlerance s that they can be passed n t future generatins. Bilgists als mix crals that are mre resilient t higher temperatures with thse that are nt and the resulting generatin has a better chance f survival.
Ultimately, scientists add that withut a serius reductin in greenhuse gases, 99 percent f the wrld’s cral reefs will be gne by the end f the century. There is a limit t hw quickly crals can adapt t warm climate, s if temperatures rise rapidly, then extinctin is certain.
8. Which is the main threat t cral reefs?
A. Declining cean acidificatin.B. Increasing sea temperatures.
C. Lss f clred algae.D. Lack f fd surces.
9. What d we knw frm paragraph 3?
A. N actins are taken t prtect cral reefs.
B. Cral bleaching is the wrst in Australia.
C. Cral reefs have grwn rapidly fr years.
D. Cral reefs receive impacts glbally.
10. What can be the basic way t prtect cral reefs?
A. Limiting their spread.B. Lwering the release f greenhuse gases.
C. Relying n genetic science.D. Transplanting them t the ht parts.
11. Which can be the best title fr the text?
A. Hw Can Cral Reefs Survive?
B. Where Are Cral Reefs Spread?
C. Cral Reefs, a New Threat t Ocean
