Whales are mammals that live their are huge entire lives in the water.Some whales are huge .The blue whale ,for example , grows to 30 metres in length and over 200 tons in weight.It is the largest animal that has ever lived on earth.Whales may also be the most intelligent in the ocean.
Whales like to feed in the cold oceans where there is a lot of krill-their favorite food.Cold waters in the North and South Atlantic Ocean and the North and South Pacific are good feeding grounds for whales.Some whales are known to migrate into warm waters to bear their calves. 
Whale populations decrease quikly due to heavy hunting pressue.Conservation groups have asked the International Whaling Commission to stop most whaling.However ,Native American hunters,such as the Eskimos,are still allowed to hunt a limited number of whales to feed their communities.If no effective measures were taken to protect whales ,these wonderful animals would disappear forever.

 FISHERMEN FOUND SAFE AND SOUND
Three Taiwanese fishermen were rescued yesterday from a small uninhabited island in the South Pacific.The men had disappeared for more than three months.

The fishermen had lived on the island for two months when a passing ship rescued them.Although the three men had lost a lot of weight,they were still in faily godd shape.Their families had had thought that the fishermen had lost their lives during the typhoon.They were surprised and happy that the ship had found them and that they were “safe and sound”

With the help of technoligical achievements people now are communicating by means of satellites and computers.These high-tech communications allow news and ideas to travel quickly from country to country.People in one country now know about their neighbours around the globe in dramatic new ways.Though the Internet,we can get infotmation from computers anywhere and carry on electronic conversations with people everywhere.Through television programmes transmitted by satellites,we can learn much about many cultures.
What will happen as we move into the twenty-first century and beyond?Almost certainly the development of the global village will continue.Not only is this possible,but the challenges that the world faces-forexample pollution,population growth,etc,-will make it necessary.

UNDERSEA WORLD
Scattered through the seas of the world are billions of tons of small plants and animals called plankon.Most of these plants and animals are too small for the human eye to see.They drift about lazily with the currents,providing a basic food for many larger animals.
Plankton has been described as the eqivalent of the grasses that grow on land.however ,plankton is richer in food value than the land grasses .One scientist has estimated that while grasses of the world produce about 49 billon tons of valuable carbohydrates each year ,the sea’s plankton generates more than twice as much.
Despite its enormous food potential,little effort was made until recently to farm plankton as we farm grasses on land.Now,marine scientists have begun to study this possibility to look for different means of feeding an expanding world population.
One type of plankton that seems to have great harvest possibilities is a tiny shrimp-like creature called krill.Growing to two or three inches long,krill provide the major foog for the gaint blue whale ,the largest animal ever to inhabit the Earth .Krill swim about just below the surface in huge schools mainly in the cold Antartic.Because of their pink colour,they often appear as a solid reddish mass when viewed from a ship or the air.Krill are very high in food value.A poud of krill contains about 460 calories.If the krill cô theå feed such huge creatures as whales,many scientists reason,they muat be certainly a new food source for humans.
