A new report says plastics are responsible for ＄13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment．The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference． 1.
Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways． 2. After a while，it collects in the sea．And plastic never goes away．Plastic is not biodegradable—destroyed by bacteria or natural processes．Instead，it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time．The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants．3. That means harmful material may get into our food supply．
4. Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly．Plastic recycling programs also works—where old bottles and other plastics are collected，broken down and used to make new products．We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to，rather than end it after the first use．We could，when we get rid of that plastic，recycle it and reuse it，which replaces the need for raw materials．
5. It asks for them to better measure and direct plastic use．And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use．By putting a new value on plastic，industry has a special reason to clean up the environment．
But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem．
A．Then，fish may eat the plastics．
B．The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics．
C．The plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters．
D．The report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situation．
E．Plastics should be gathered together and reused．
F．But people can make a big difference．
G．It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life．
The vast jungles of the Amazon rainforest are home to tribes(部落)mostly isolated(隔绝的)from the outside world，whose way of life，largely unchanged for hundreds of years，is now increasingly threatened by modern civilization．
Now, scientists discover they can monitor these“uncontacted tribes”using satellites，which would allow inexpensive and safe tracking of these tribes in order to protect them from outside threats．
In order to help conserve these uncontacted Indians，researchers need accurate estimates of their populations．One way to collect this data involves flying over their villages，but such overflights are both expensive and could fill these native peoples with fear．Another strategy involves meeting individuals on the ground，but among other risks，scientists could accidentally spread disease to members of the tribes．
Instead，scientists investigated whether satellite imaging could monitor uncontacted tribes. The result was inspiring．They confirmed their locations and measured the sizes of their Village，houses and gardens．“We can find isolated vinages with remote sensing and study them over time．”Walker told Live Science．“We can ask：Are they growing?Do they move?”
Surprisingly，based on the sizes of the houses and Villages，the scientists find the population densities of these isolated villages are about 10 times greater，on average，than other villages of native Brazilian peoples．This may be due to the fact that they have to live closer together because they are not as good at clearing the forest，since they lack modern devices like chainsaws and tractors，the researchers said．The tribes may also be afraid of spreading out due to fear of being attacked by outsiders，Walker said.
The researchers now plan to focus on 29 more isolated villages to“look at their ecology—that is．distance from rivers and roads—and use this to model where else we can find more isolated villages，”Walker said．

Close your eyes and picture the city of Paris．Now imagine the city without its most famous landmark：the Eiffel Tower．
The unthinkable almost happened．
When French engineer Gustave Eiffel built this tower for the Paris World’s Fair of 1889，it was controversial．The iron structure contrasted(对比)sharply with the historic stone buildings of Paris．Eiffel’s four-legged iron archway was supposed to last only 20 years．That’s when Eiffel’s permit to operate the building would expire(过期)and the city could choose to tear it down．
Yet from the beginning．Eiffel had a strategy to save his building．If the Tower was linked to important research，he reasoned，no one would dare to take it down．So he would make it a grand laboratory for science．
Scientific research began just one day after the Tower opened to the public on May 6，1889．Eiffel installed a weather station on the Tower’s third(and highest)floor．He connected instruments by wire to the French weather bureau in Paris．With these，he measured wind speed and air pressure．
In 1903，still worried that his building might be torn down，Eiffel got a clever idea．He asked the French military to conduct its own research on radio communications at the Tower．He even paid the army’s costs．
French army captain Gustave Ferrié worked from a little wooden house at the base of the Tower's southern pillar．From there，he made radio contact with forts around Paris．Convinced of the importance of radio communications，the army set up a permanent radio station at the Tower．In 1910，the city of Paris renewed the structure’s permit for another 70 years．
This year marks the iconic structure’s 125th birthday．Over the years，research conducted there has brought dramatic and unexpected payoffs．During World War I，for instance，the French army used the Tower as a giant ear to receive radio messages．It even led to the arrest of one of the war's most famous spies．

D．By asking the government to renew its permit．
