18、 rain forests of the sea”? All people are against the damage done to tropical rain forests and their rich resources; yet coral reefs, an equally vital resource, suffer similar damage.

The nutrientssuch as chemicals found in polluted water, fertilizer, and pesticidescause the abnormal growth of algae (藻类) that covers and chokes the corals. As a result of huge po

20、pulation growth of algae, nearly 90 percent of the coral reefs in South Florida are dead or dying. Experts also consider that 70 percent of all coral will be dead by the year 2050 if present trends continue.While eutrophcation is the main human danger to coral reefs, tourism and fishing contributes,

21、 too. Tourists not only require more land development, but also coral reefs as souvenirs. Careless scuba divers and snorkelers cause big damage to reef, so do fishers who ignored marine ecology.

One afternoon I was surprised to see him at a nursing station, complaining to a nurse about one patients family. The patien

27、t was dying, and the young doctor had organized a meeting with the family to talk about withdrawing life-support machines and medications and starting comforting measures. The family had spent the entire meeting asking questions but then refused to make any decisions or withdraw any treatments. “I s
