Unit4Pygmalion

一、阅读理解。
Fans of the movie Finding Nemo may remember the terrifying fish that scares Dory and Marlin at the bottom of a trench.
But in reality this “monster”， a black adevil， is only about 9 cm long， which would make it about a third of the size of Dory and potentially smaller than Marlin or Nemo.
While this inaccuracy may em harmless， it could cau problems for future conrvation efforts， as people are more likely to support conrvation of adorable rather than scarylooking animals.
The black adevil is just one of the mysterious “monsters”. From 2000 to 2010， scientists described about 1，200 new species in the Census of Marine Life. While this figure may em astonishing， a further 5，000 individual dead creatures are in specimen（标本） jars， waiting to be described.
Specimens must be methodically collected， identified， and then the identity of new deepwater species must be confirmed.
If we call unusual deepa animals monsters， then we may harm their conrvation as people are unlikely to be connected with them or care about saving them.

On the other hand， their rarity clearly makes them popular on social media sites. For other species， this has already resulted in increas in illegal trading for unusual pets. Deepa species may potentially become illegally obtained specimens or food. Humans may end up eating the animals of the deep a to extinction before their species are even known to science.
Every habitat on earth is interconnected， and whatever we as humans do has an influence on marine ecosystems. In reality， about 80% of our oxygen is produced by microorganisms（微生物） in the oceans. This makes our oceans both the lungs and lifeblood of our planet and we must all try harder to save them.
