Life on Earth is in the throes of a new wave of mass extinction, unlike anything since the

demise of the dinosaurs. In the last 500 years, 844 species are known to have died out, and up to

16,000 others are now known to be threatened. Conservationists argue that humans have an

ethical obligation to protect other species. Diversity and natural beauty are highly prized by

mankind, and that biodiversity is a vital resource: we rely on ecosystems to provide food, oxygen

and natural resources, recycle waste and fertilize soil for agriculture. The total value of services

Trang 4/7 - Mã đề thi 357

provided to man by nature has been estimated at $33 trillion annually. Plants and animals are also

an essential source of new foods and medicines worldwide. Preserving species could help protect

us from disease.

Natural disasters and processes were behind the five major mass extinctions in

geological history, but the current “sixth extinction” is being caused by the success of one

species- humans. The six billion (and counting) people crowding the Earth, are driving out

biodiversity in a variety of ways. Humans began to destroy ecosystems a major way about 10,000

years ago with the development of agriculture.

But within the last 100,000 years, the hunting and burning practices of people, along

with climate change, drove many large mammals to extinction. However, the most common

reason for extinction is habitat loss. Ecosystems from wetlands to prairies and rain forests to coral

reefs are being cleared or degraded for crops, cattle, roads and development. Even fragmenting

habitats with roads or dams can make them more vulnerable.

The period from the late 1930s to the middle 1940s is known as the Golden Age of comic

books. The modern comic book came about in the early 1930s in the United States as a giveaway

premium to promote the sales of a whole range of household products such as cereal and

cleansers. The comic books, which were printed in bright colors to attract the attention of

potential customers, proved so popular that some publishers decided to produce comic books that

would come out on a monthly basis and would sell for a dime each. Though comic strips had

been reproduced in publications prior to this time, the Famous Funnies comic book, which was

started in 1934, marked the first occasion that a serialized book of comics was attempted.

Early comic books reprinted already existing comic strips and comics based on known

characters; however, publishers soon began introducing original characters developed specially

for comic books. Superman was introduced in Action Comics in 1938, and Batman was

introduced a year later. The tremendous success of these superhero comic books led to the

development of numerous comic books on a variety of topics, though superhero comic books

predominated. Astonishingly, by 1945 approximately 160 different comic books were being

published in the United States each month, and 90 percent of U.S children were said to read

comic books on a regular basis.
