托福阅读材料之Crabs Clean Up

2015-01-14 17:22:31来源:网络

  2015年托福考试已经来临,对于每一位参加托福考试的同学来说都是新的开始,那么我们对于托福听说读写都需要采取怎样的复习方法?这四项又需要注意些什么呢?我们分别谈一下。下面是新东方在线托福小编整理的托福阅读材料之Crabs Clean Up,供同学们参考!

  Researchers have discovered that tiny crabs about a third of an inch (one centimeter) long take care of a huge job. They actually help keep coral reefs alive. And that's important, because more than nine million species depend on coral reefs around the world for food and shelter.

  These tiny crabs, called trapeziid crabs, accomplish a lot despite their size. Particles of dirt, or sediment, are bad for living coral.

  "If sediment builds up on the coral, the weight of it can damage the coral," explains researcher Hannah L. Stewart of the University of California Santa Barbara's Marine Science Institute. "Sediment can also block the light healthy coral needs."

  Like many living things, the crab and the coral have a symbiotic relationship; that means they each help the other. The coral provides a home for the crab, and the crab protects the coral.

  "An organism doesn't just survive on its own," says Stewart. "There are a lot of interactions that go into the success of every organism. That's the web of life."
