Three fish species face extinction （灭绝） due to overfishing, according to an international

group.

In a new report, the International Union for Conservation of Nature （IUCN） added Pacific

bluefin tuna to its list of more than 22, 000 species in danger of extinction. The tuna was joined by

the American eel and Chinese pufferfish.

For 50 years, the IUCN has kept a"Red List"of species that are becoming extinct. In an

TUCN news report, Director General Julia Marton-Lefevre said, " The frequent changes to the

IUCN Red List make us realize that our planet is losing its diversity（多样化）of life, largely due

to our destructive actions to satisfy our growing needs。

Marton-Lefevre called for policy makers to increase the number of protected areas and to see

that they are well-managed. "Experts warn that endangered species poorly represented in protected

areas are reducing twice as fast as those which are well represented, "she said.

The bluefin tuna is considered a special food in many parts of the world. It is used in

traditional Japanese dishes such as sushi and sashimi. A falling population of bluefin tuna could

cause the fish to disappear from the Pacific Ocean for good, IUCN experts warn. To prevent

extinction, they say limits must be placed on fisheries.

Bruce Collette is the TUCN'S tuna and billfish specialist. " The Pacific bluefin tuna market

value continues to rise, " Collette said, adding that we need to reduce the number of catches of

young fish to improve the species situation.

The Chinese pufferfish is now listed as"critically endangered" The fish is found in several

protected areas in the Pacific Ocean near China with measures in place to protect it. More needs to

be done to prevent extinction, IUCN experts say.

The American eel has joined the Japanese eel on the endangered list due to pollution, habitat

loss and overfishing. The American eel is in demand in East Asian food markets as an alternative

（替代） to the endangered Japanese eel．

8. What do Julia Marton-Lefevre's words in Paragraph 3 suggest?

A. Our planet is always changingB. The IUCN can't meet people's needs

C. Many animal species are already extinct. D. Human behavior is damaging animals' lives.

9. According to Julia Marton- Lefevre, policy makers should_______.

A. carry out a strict policyB. manage protected areas directly

C. set up more protected areasD. prevent people from catching fish

10. To save Pacific bluefin tuna from extinction, we should_______.

A. stop people from eating themB. develop the bluefin tuna market

C. improve the environment of bluefin tunaD. forbid overfishing and protect young fish

11. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Fish at riskB. Species on the Red List

C. AnimalsfacingextinctionD. The IUCN is working to protect fish
