Listen to a conversation between a student and his marine biology professor.

S: Hi, Professor Ritter.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

I\'m back from my swim competition, and I thought I\'d pick up the latest draft of my paper while I\'m in the building.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

It\'s the one about ocean acidification?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

P: Sure, David. I could tell that you really considered my feedback.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Your ideas are much clearer now, and the transitions between paragraphs are smoother.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Oh, and you finally formatted your citations correctly.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

S: What a relief to hear.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Oh also, while I was finding sources on the Internet, a few articles popped up about coral reefs.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

P: Sure, makes sense. You\'re writing about how oceans are becoming more acidic, and that directly affects coral reefs.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

S: Right. Well, one of those articles was a real surprise.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Apparently, there\'s this guy, an artist, who builds underwater sculpture parks.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

His name is Jason deCaires Taylor.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Jason deCaires Taylor, this artist, he makes sculptures and installs them at the bottom of the ocean near coastlines.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The article said he\'s created over 900 sculptures so far.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

P:Interesting, but what\'s the connection with the coral reefs?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

S: Coral Reef destruction was actually the whole motivation for Taylor\'s project.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

He lived in an area where coral reefs were getting damaged by tourists in the water, so he decided to take action to help.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

P: How exactly?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

S: First, Taylor reduces visitors at natural reefs by drawing divers to his sights instead.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Second, coral larvae land on the sculptures and grow, which eventually supports all sorts of marine life.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Taylor puts a lot of holes and crevices into the sculptures to encourage habitation, and the concrete he uses is specially formulated to be close to a neutral pH so it won\'t harm the environment. ?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

P: That\'s a creative approach to habitat restoration, and over 900 sculptures, what do they depict?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

S: Well, anything from an empty car, a dining table, a person watching TV.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

There\'s snapshots of regular people in their everyday lives.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Apparently, he likes the human form, since it\'s still recognizable, even as the sculpture changes.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

P: Oh right, when all the coral grow and cover the surface, hmm.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

But Taylor is an artist, right?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Does he collaborate with scientists in his work?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

S: Actually, yeah, one of the sculptures I especially liked is called the listener.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

It started with a conversation with a marine biologist.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

They were discussing ways to document the arrival of new species at Taylor\'s sculpture parks to see what organisms ended up living.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Well, long story short, Taylor created a life-size human sculpture covered in about 200 ears, concrete ears, and the marine biologist attached an acoustic device to record and help biologists identify the sounds of the organisms at the site.
