According to David Doubilet in ” PHOTOS: Pacific Shipwrecks Potentially Toxic Timebombs,” shipwrecks lie submerged in the Pacific Ocean may cause some toxic substance which would harm the ocean.
Encased in coral, host to abundant sea life, and popular among scuba-loving tourists, some of these shipwrecks also contain noxious cargo including oil, diesel, gasoline, chemicals, and even unexploded ordnance. These were things that would cause serious damage to the ocean. Many ocean creatures would become extinct, and the environment would be contaminated critically. Most of the shipwrecks can be traced back to the world war 2 when many American ships were be blow up by Japanese booming airplanes. Those ship were all loaded strong ammunition and full of energy gas which were pretty dangerous. In order to avoid this kind of harm, many countries have some policy to deal with it. Though shipwrecks are now covered by the coral, the problem they have are still some thing we have to pay much attention on it.
This article reminds me that few years ago there has many oil ships crashed the carol and sank into the ocean around Kenting. It cost the government several days to clean out the stinking and sticky oil floating on the water. Many carol died in this event, and government implement a policy to preserve the carol. This kind of incident may be a accident, but still many ocean polluted cases were done on purpose by human. I think it is really important for our people to know we only have one earth which if we don’t protect it well we must be very regretful.(269)

According to Alex Altman in ” SPACE PHOTOS THIS WEEK: Earth Mosaic, Exoplanet, More,” there is a lot of photos about the outer space. And a Space shuttle Endeavour was launched on November 14 2008 to give some supplies for the space station to implement a mission called "Extreme Home Improvements" by Nasa.
To go out side the earth is my future dream when I was little. This project is to improve the space station environment in order to make people in the station have a better live. Beside that, I think it is also a kind of experiment to test the great technology of new equipment. Astronauts will use the delivery to convert the space station from a three-bedroom, one-bathroom home into a five-bedroom, two-bath estate. Because there will be more room in the station, the spacemen number can be increased, and that is a good step for the future research and explore in outer space.
There are many movies about outer space. It seems that it will be a trend which people may takes every activity in the space in the future. But why humanity should move out the earth is a important question that we have to pay attention on. One of the reason, in my own opinion, may be that human destroy the nature and ruin the environment by their own hand so that there isn’t any place people can live on the earth. May be high technology makes peoples lives more convenient but the consequence will cause a serious problem. So a in addition to enjoy the modern equipment we have to protect our pretty earth.(271)

My reaction:
According to Alex Altman in ”Eminem: The way I am,” in this article the popular rapper of America, Eminem, have some introduction to his insistence on pursuing speak out what he thought about all the chaos of this society. Though his life is tough and he didn’t grow up in a illustrious family background, instead a impoverished one, he still try his best to reach the goal, and he finally did it.
Eminem is one of my most loved pop singers. Every time I hear his songs I feel quite indebted as if it were received in person. Maybe a lot of adults think that he is nothing but a bigoted, stupid, cultureless riffraff. But you cannot but admit that his lyrics really indicate the disadvantage of this world. Though there is a lot of filthy language in his creation, what I think is that’s his word, that’s how he speaks to show the perspective of the common people. Some of his songs are about families, some are about politics, and some are about gangsters, all of them are the issue that we should care about. As a rap singer Eminem not only become the authoritativeness of hip hop world but also let some governmental officials pay much attention to the illness of the reality world.
Eminem’s persistence makes me associate with a Taiwan pop singer, Jay, who also follows his own steps ignoring the malicious criticisms. Many famous people didn’t get much support in the beginning. People thought they are ridiculous, not decent just because they didn’t follow the modern trend. But usually when they success, they will become one of the influences on earth. I respect them a lot. Because I am also a person who has his own opinions and wants to make innovation in dancing domain.
With their precedents, I won’t give up pursing my own goal.(312)
