22、r health. She also knew what was good for herself, so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the childrens food. The board responsible for the orphans sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent the beadle, a kind of local policeman, to announce their vis

23、it the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean.On Olivers ninth birthday, Mr Bumble, the beadle, came to the house to see Mrs Mann.

Overfishing refers to catching so many fish that the size o

29、f the population falls.In some parts of the world, such as the heavily fished Sea of Japan, the decrease is as high as 35 percent. Thats a loss of more than one in every three fish.Researchers examined changes in 235 populations of fish and shellfish between 1930 and 2010. Those fish populations spr

30、ead far apart across 38 ocean regions. Temperature changes vary from one ocean site to another. But on average over that time, Earths sea-surface temperatures have risen by about half a degree Celsius.On average, that warming has caused the sustainable catch to drop by 4.1 percent, the study found.

37、is means that astronauts cannot wash their clothes and either have to pack enough for their whole trip or rely on costly resupply missions and throw used items into space.Crewmembers taking part in long-term missions on the International Space Station (ISS) often end up wearing the same garments for
