Eric Green has always wanted to know about things that live in the ocean. When he was young, he loved to swim. He liked to watch all kinds of underwater animals and plants through his diving mask(潜水面罩). When he 1 grew (grow) up, he wanted to look for new things in the ocean.
Today, Mr Green is 2 a marine ecologist(海洋生态学家). He studies how underwater animals and plants keep in touch 3 with each other and need each other to stay alive.
Mr Green studies coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean. A coral reef is like a big underwater town. A lot of animals and plants live there. They compete(竞争) for both food 4 and space there. As a result, the coral reefs get injured(受伤) 5 easily (easy).
Mr Green also studies how 6 people's (people) actions can change coral reefs. Sometimes people pollute the water or overfish(过度捕捞), so the way that all the living things are joined together has been changed. If 7 beautiful (beauty) coral reefs get hurt, many animals have to find new homes. Some animals' numbers drop low, and some animals just die out. Mr Green wants to stop this from 8 happening (happen).
Mr Green believes that all the living things in a coral reef should be kept safe. "Underwater ecosystems are like airplanes," Mr Green says. "They need all of their parts to work 9 correctly (correct)." "To take better care of marine homes, humans must know them first. It's time for 10 us (we) to understand the great influence humans have on these places," Mr Green says.
