News summary1( plus reflection)

Summary
What’s the problem if you watch your diet so carefully and eat healthily but feel so unhealthy. Wendy Moro and her doctor find out the problems were came from the healthiest dish we think, the fish. Mercury enters the ocean and turns into methylmercury, which can be harmful to unborn baby or little infants .It passes from small fish to huge ones through food chain. The symptom might be hair loss, muscle fatigue, birth defects, feel sick and so on.

Reflection
It’s freaky to understand that fish, which adults always want us to eat more in order to absorb more nutrition is actually the fatalist poison. What’s worse, it’s the most toxic substance next to Plutonium, a dangerous substance used especially as a fuel in nuclear power stations and also a radioactive element. It’s also very astonishing that why the FDA do not declare the truth and suggest the public not eat fish like swordfish, tuna and some big-sized fish. Because those fish mentioned above might located in the end of food chain, hence their ingestion of Mercury are higher than the other kind of fish.
Maybe this article is a warning to human beings’ fast growing industry. For decades, the technology has become more and more advanced while our living environment became more and more unlivable. Developing such high-tech stuff release too much exhaust that is way too over for the eco-system itself to load or resolve. Acting such unwise behavior will rebound directly to us, not the earth, mother nature will never disappear or being ruined. Instead, she will transform herself into another condition, maybe just like Mars and Venus, lacking of Oxygen but full of Carbon dioxide. There’s a theory called Gaea Theory, the main idea of this theory is that what human beings do now will only harm us, the earth will not therefore been destroyed, instead, she’ll change herself into a situation which will not been noised, which means she’ll turn herself into an environment inadequate for us to live. Reading this report make me think of the serious problems caused by human finally come back to impact our once peaceful life. We should not only notice that we couldn’t eat those fish which contain incredibly toxic substance, but we should also think about the reason caused this incident was actually related to us.

Self introduction


Good afternoon ! I’m S’uzanne:).It’s my pleasure to meet you all.
First ,I have to introduce myself. I love listening to music, especially jazz and hip-hop. Sometimes when I feel exhausted or worried, listening to Kenny G and Lisa Ono can absolutely calm me down and purify my soul.
I also love to watch movies at home, because going to a theater is a little bit expensive to me. Most of the movie I see are romance, fiction and something related to adventure also suit me, too.
I’m kind of shy in some aspect, that means I’m not so open-minded. Of course, it doesn’t mean that I’m hard to get along or not easy-going.Elves interest me the most, mainly because they are mysterious, noble, immortal and magical. People who also interest in elves can discuss with me if they want.
