The film received positive reviews and won the Acaden Award for Best Animated Feature. It was a success as it earned over $864 million worldwide.Finding Nemo is about a clownfish who tried to save his son who has been caught by a man from becoming a pet. One thing we can learn from the film is that wild animals really have to remain in their habitats. However, the message seems not to be stuck in the minds of children. The clownfish are facing the danger of dying out several years after the animated film was on, because the film itself made them the must — have pets for kids all over the world!It is said that just half of needs can be met by clownfish bred in captivity,which means the rest have to be taken from the sea. Now the average size of clownfish schools in Australia, has decreased from twenty-five members to just six, making it harder for them to breed. Dr Billy Sinclair who has spent five years studying the clownfish was the first to raise the alarm, “The film did much to educate children about sea life but the fish were then sold aschildren’s pets. My message to kids who loved the film is simple: Tell your parents to leave Nemo in the sea where it belongs.”(1)The clownfish aren’t facing the danger of dying out, are they?________(2)How much did the film Finding Nemo to earn worldwide?________(3)What does the word decreased mean in Chinese?________(4)Does Dr Billy Sinclair agree or disagree that people keep clownfish as pets?________(5)What is the main idea of the passage?________20. 阅读理解USBoy, 9, Plans to Take Balloon Flight Alone ALBUQERQUE.
