  A protected estuary

  As Molly Lakewater walked into the bird estuary she was quite proud of her ethnic heritage. Here was a protected area that her esteemed ancestors had valued; here was an everlasting piece of her past; here was the essence of her culture. When international scientists had finished their evaluation to declare that the land should be placed in eternal protection, her family had rejoiced. It was the only ethical solution, others declared, and the 0nly way to let evolution continue untouched by man in at least one place.

  The estuary had almost been destroyed. It was only because of her family' s care that the stuary had evaded that planned destruction and called in the experts. This had exacerbated evelopers, but the government rewarded Molly' s family by not evacuating them or forcing hem to stop their fishing and trapping in the area. Their presence on the land evoked images f a better time, even for the government, and no event would ever persuade them to destroy his land. Even if developers gave large estimates of the money that they would add to the ocal government by developing houses in the area, this land would evolve in peace.

  Eventually everyone appreciated the estuary. It became part of local etiquette to take isitors to see migratory birds. And when a drought threatened the area, evaporating much of he water, locals even dug aditch to bring water in from the city reservoir * .

  No one ever tried to evaluate changing the estuary again. It was a model of environmental protection.

  *city reservoir: a pool of water reserved for drinking.

 讀故事單詞雅思詞匯-受保護的港灣

  莫莉?雷克沃特走入鳥類棲息的港灣時，她為自己的民族傳統感到非常自豪。這是一塊得到保護的土地，德高望重的先輩們一直珍視這塊地方。這里有她對過去的永久回憶，這里是她的文化的精華所在。各國科學家在完成了評估之后宣布這塊土地應該得到永久保護，她的家人都感到歡欣鼓舞。其他人則說這是惟一合乎道德的解決辦法，同時也是惟一能讓進化在不受人類干擾的情況下繼續進行的辦法，至少在一個地方是這樣。

  港灣差點兒就被毀掉了。只是由于她家的關心，港灣才逃過了一劫，請來了專家。這激怒了開發商，但政府獎勵了莫莉家，不把他們撤走或是強迫他們停止在這里打魚和誘捕。他們在這塊地上的存在使人想起了更加美好的時光，即便對政府來說也是如此，而且任何事都不能使他們毀掉這塊土地。即使開發商給了很高的估價，愿意通過在這里開發住宅為當地政府提供巨額資金，這塊土地還是會在平靜中發展。

  最終每個人都很欣賞這片港灣。帶游客們觀賞候鳥成了當地的一種禮儀。當旱災危及這片土地、水分大量蒸發時，當地人甚至挖了一條溝渠，從城市水庫‘引水。

  再也沒有人試過評估改變港灣。這是一個環境保護的典范。

  *城市水庫：儲存飲用水的水庫。
