turtles appeared over 200 million years ago Today, however, sea turtle are in trouble Their populations are getting smaller due to human activities and climate change B In Australia, conservationists are studying the effects of climate change on sea turtles They believe global warming may affect sea turtles in several ways First, warming temperatures lead to rising sea levels As sea levels rise, beach areas become flooded Sea turtles lay their eggs in the beach sand Flooding can destroy sea turtle nests and the eggs inside them C Global warming also raises the temperature of sand around a sea turtle’s nest The temperature of the nest affects thesex of the turtle’s eggs Warmer temperatures (above 84 degrees Fahrenheit, or 29 degrees Celsius) produce mostly females Cooler temperatures produce more males So, as global temperature rise, more female babies will be born Scientists predict that in 50 years almost all sea turtle babies in northern Australia will be female D To survive these changes, sea turtles will need to adapt But adapting is difficult because the environmental changes are happening quickly In addition, sea turtles are more at risk from other dangers, especially ones related to human activities For example, some populations are getting smaller because of predators brought in by humans As conservationist Mariana Fuentes says, ‘We can’t be sure if sea turtles will adapt on their own.’ They may need our help to survive E One of Fuentes’s projects is at Turtle Camp, a beach in northern Australia Here, Fuentes helps to protect turtles that are laying eggs She works with a team of rangers and researchers Together, they prevent predators such as wild pigs and dogs from eating the turtles’ eggs Without the rangers’ help, the turtles were losing up to 90% of their eggs Now there are fewer predators, so the turtles can safely lay their eggs F In the next few decades, sea turtles will face some tough challenges With human help, says Fuentes, they will have a better chance to adapt and survive Complete the notes with details from the reading Sea turtles have been around for more than 200 million years The number of sea turtles is getting smaller due to

What You Wear Clothes are like a second skin Most likely you feel good when you wear your favorite color What happens when someone sees you wearing any color - for example blue? Does the color send a message? What you think about pink and blue for children? One of the most common examples of color symbolism in clothing is the custom of using pink for girls and blue for boys, but it wasn't always this way This tradition emerged at the turn of the 20th century Since pink was thought to be a stronger color, it was best suited for boys; blue was more delicate and dainty and best for girls In 1921, the Women's Institute for Domestic Science in Pennsylvania endorsed pink for boys, blue for girls Even more interesting is the fact that pink is the color for baby boys and blue is the color for baby girls in Belgium today Another interesting fact about pink is that pink is a very masculine color in Bermuda Also, British bankers and barristers have worn pink shirts for decades Pink goes in and out of fashion in other parts of the world White is the traditional color for a bride's wedding gown in the U.S and most European cultures White symbolizes purity and innocence What about the color worn for weddings and funerals? In Asia, white is the color of death This arises from the belief that death is seen as a beginning and that white represents the purity that the deceased brings into the next life Therefore, brides in Japan and China wear red in traditional wedding ceremonies White is also associated with death in India, where widows wear white Consequently, red or pink saris are the most popular colors for brides What about black clothes? Black symbolizes death and is the traditional color of mourning in Western cultures Black clothing is associated with powerful forces in many parts of the world Bad and good Witches, the devil, ninjas, cat burglars, Darth Vader, Cat Woman, and Batman wear black and so priests, nuns, judges, mimes, Mennonites, Bedouins, and monks Maybe the common thread is that these people are signaling their seriousness of purpose - or the need to be hard to see - or both Here's something else to think about: What happens when the same people wear green?
