To truly protect sea turtles around the world, many different countries and cultures must cooperate
and share responsibility. International laws and agreements, research, and the work of dedicated
organizations and individuals each must play a part. Long-term protection of sea turtles also means
developing solutions that reduce reliance on management methods requiring direct human involvement
— such as moving nests or raising hatchlings in captivity. If sea turtles cannot survive and reproduce on
their own, without help from humans, then they are doomed. Feeding and nesting grounds must be
protected, and a public wildlife conservation ethic must be fostered that can withstand gaps in
government regulations, pressure from private interests, and changes in the political climate.
Here are some immediate goals for protecting sea turtles include:
1. Crack down on illegal international trade in sea turtles and their products.
2. Decrease the turtle deaths caused by commercial fishing.
3. Protect nesting beaches by establishing parks and refuges or through regulations combined with
public education initiatives.
4. Eliminate disturbances at nesting beaches by decreasing artificial lighting, halting beach armoring,
regulating beach nourishment and limiting the impacts of people on the beach.
5. Enforce national and international laws to minimize the dumping of pollutants and solid waste into the
ocean and nearshore waters.

programs.

V. Read the following and do as directed.
Do you tend to see the positive, even in trying situations? Or do you immediately assume the worst
and focus on the negative?
When it comes to how we view the world, most of us fall into one of two categories: optimist or
pessimist. And according to experts, whatever category you fall into has a lot to do with your upbringing.
“From my experience, optimism is both a personality trait and a product of our environment,” says
Karol Ward, LCSW, a licensed psychotherapist. “From an early age, babies and children pick up the
emotional vibes in their homes. If the atmosphere is relaxing and loving, children blossom even if they
6
innately have a tendency towards anxiety. But if the home environment is tense and filled with
dysfunction, it is likely to result in pessimism. It's hard to be emotionally open and hopeful when that is
not being modeled for you by your caretakers.”
But if you recognize yourself as someone who tends to default to the negative, your childhood isn’t
completely to blame.
Studies show that optimism is about 25 percent inheritable, and then there are other factors that
affect our positivity, like socioeconomic status. Yet that still leaves a solid amount of wiggle room for us
to develop a more optimistic outlook as adults, so if you’re someone who tends to see the negative in a
given situation, there's hope. Positive moods are associated with more left-brain activity, while negative
emotions fire up the right side of the brain.
“Some people are optimistic by nature, but many of us learn optimism as well. Anyone can learn to
be optimistic — the trick is to find purpose in work and life,” says Leah Weiss, Ph.D, a Stanford professor
specializing in mindfulness in the workplace. “When we work with purpose or live with purpose, we feel
more fulfilled and better equipped to see the glass ‘half full.’”

Question 23. Few people fall into two categories optimist or pessimist when it comes to the term of
viewing the world.
A. True B. False
Question 24. Experts believe that the category you fall into depends a lot on the way you were brought
up.
A. True B. False
Question 25. According to Karol Ward, optimism is not only a personality trait but also a product of our
environment.
A. True B. False
