Have you ever heard of Florida pompano(鲳参鱼)? It’s a flat, silvery fish and very delicious! In fact, people who know a lot about fish say it’s one of the best-tasting

kinds of fish in the world to eat. Maybe that’s one reason why it costs so much to buy pompano at the fish market or at a restaurant.

Agricultural Research Service scientists in Florida are discovering many new and important secrets about this tasty fish. It lives in the warm waters off the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

The scientists are studying pompano. Because they want fish farmers to be able to grow them in big tanks, somewhat the same way trout and catfish are grown in big outdoor ponds.

Raising pompano in big tanks inland could help everyone be sure that there will always be lots of wild pompano in the sea. People could buy them from the fish farm instead of mostly only being able to buy pompano caught from the sea.

Sometimes, if a fish is too popular, a problem called “overfishing” can happe n. The fish could become harder and harder to find in the ocean. The fish might even disappear completely.

The trouble with pompano is that no one really knows very much about how to grow big, healthy pompano in big tanks at a fish farm.

That’s why scientists are trying to learn as much as they can about pompano. Maybe someday soon it will be easy to buy and eat pompano raised at fish farms, instead of pompano fished from the sea. When that happens, you may remember this story about these scientists who helped find out how to raise delicious pompano in a new, earth-friendly way.

Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.

Love

Love plays a pivotal role on our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go Hayward(不归路) and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others’feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.

Happiness and Sorrow

Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others’ face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.

Failure and Success

Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. The only way to show

our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.

Hope and Despair

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same. We have only one choice-keep moving on in life and be hopeful.

Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

( )34. What’s the general meaning of the last sentence of the whole passage? A. When choosing between “today” and “tomorrow”, you’d better enjoy tomorrow better.

B. If you work hard, you’ll have a better life in the future.
