    The investigation has proved that unlike the pollution hypothesis, the predators play a much more important role in the reducing the number of sea otters.
    First, if the sea otters are died because of the chemical pollution, then dead bodies of sea otters should be found. However, no dead bodies were found on the beaches. This matches the saying that the declining number of sea otters is because of the predators.
    Second, the decline of other sea mammals is the because of the predators rather than the pollution. Since large whales are died out because of human-hunting, the predators have to change their diet, and come to the small sea mammals, such as sea otters, seals and sea lions. That's why the number of other sea mammals reduces.
    Third, the even pattern of the number of sea otter is not because of the pollution, but because of the location that affects the accessibility of their predators. Since the predators are of very big size, they have no access to some shallow places. Therefore, sea otters which live in the shallow places may survive, and which live in the place where may be accessible to the predators may be eaten quickly.

Because people are too busy doing many different things, they can do few things well

I agree with the saying: because people are too busy doing many different things, they can do few things well. This saying works on me very well. I always want to do many things at the same time, learning yoga, playing piano, preparing for the test, to make myself busy, and keep myself from wasting time. However, I cannot complete one well at all.

Preparing those things together, I found it difficult for me to concentrate, learning yoga while thinking of playing piano or worrying about my test. Since I could not concentrate on one thing, I could not do it well. In the end, it turns out that I finished none of them.

Putting all these things into my to-do list did not prevent me from wasting my time. Actually, I became even more lazy because I knew that I have to spend lots of energy to complete all the work. I often felt reluctant to complete even one work. People proposed that I should make a time schedule so that I knew what to do next, and therefore stop wasting time. However, it did not work on me. Any change in the plan would lead to the waste of time schedule. If I happened to be sleepy during the time which is assigned for learning yoga, I needed to cancel the yoga or to postpone it. Either way, I further altered the schedule.

Being too busy doing many different things, I am distracted from concentrating, and the pressure of finishing them all very likely leads to a giving up of completing all the work. So does other people. People have the tendency of feeling exhausted in front of heavy loads, and failing to concentrate while working on one of them. Thus, occupied in too many different things will very likely lead to a failure of doing none of them well.

It is true that people are reading less literature today, but it does not mean that people have less stimulations in imaginations. There are plenty of books as science and technology that are of high quality, and can stimulate people's imagination, as well as help people with their creative thinking. They do not have to read literature in order to gain a sense of creation or imagination.
Though people spend less time in reading the books, that does not mean the level of culture is lowered. Great movies and musics are all accessible to people, and the meaning of culture is no longer about how much literature one has read. More direct ways as watching movies or listening to musics also prevent the culture from declining.
Less time to spend in reading is not one of the reason for the declining of literature. It is not the readers who should be blamed, it is the writers. Those books they write nowadays are so difficult to understand that were it published in the past, people would not willing to read it. Therefore, the lowered literature is due to the writers rather than the readers.

The only effective way to encourage energy conservation is by increasing price of gasoline and electricity.

I don't agree with that to encourage energy conservation, the price of gasoline and electricity should be increased. To increase the price is not a good way, nor as the only way.  
There are other effective ways to encourage energy conservation, limiting the amount of the gasoline and electricity is one of them. By doing so, energy can be really saved. Since the amount of energy is assigned to each house, people would try different ways to use gasoline and electricity without a waste. They would take walking or riding bycibles instead of driving cars to save the gasoline, and choose lamps that consume less electricity or shut the lights off when outing to save the electricity.
Increasing the price of gasoline and electricity is not a good way to help with energy conservation. Rich people are those who consumes more gasolines and electricity, since they can afford luxury cars - cars that need much more gasolines compared with ordinary cars, or many cars, as well as a big houses that have lots of lights and furnitures in it. Even if the price goes up, they still have enough money to pay for the expensive gasoline and electricity. On the other hand, the poor are who suffered from the raising of the prise. Their basic living expense will grows sharply due to the increasing of the price of gasoline and electricity. The living condition would become worse. Thus, raising the price of gasoline and electricity fails to encourage energy conservation while it is making the life of ordinary people more difficult.
To conclude, the idea of increasing the price of gasoline and electricity should not be supported.

There are plenty of reasons to weaken the statement that Jane Austen is the subject on the painting sold recently.
First, although Austen family gave the permission to use this portraits as the illustration of Jane's letters, Austen members did not actually know how Jane looked like. It was 70 years after Jane's death, and the family member might very probably never seen Jane. They themselves were not sure about whether it was Jane on the picture.
Second, though the face in the painting resembles the one in Cassandra's sketch, it might have other possibilities. Austen family was a big family, and Jane had many other female cousins who were at their teenage year, and who looked like Jane. Girl in the painting may well be some relative of Jane, instead of Jane herself.
Third, the reason that we recognize this painting to be Humphrey's was because of its painting style. However, there was other proof that this picture might be somebody's other than Humphrey's. The canvas used was sold by William, and evidence showed that he did not sell the canvas to Humphrey. He did not sell the canvas to London until he was 27, and at that time, Jane was older than teenager. Therefore, the girl in the picture might very probably be someone else other than Jane.

Has technology made children less creative than they were in the past?
I agree with the saying that technology has made children less creative. Technology not only help children with the solutions of certain problems which they should solve it themselves had it not for the technology, but also limit their creative thinking by providing various TV programs or computer games that occupies much free-thinking time of them, during which their creative thinking may formed.
Technology is making life better while it is making children less independent. Children would turn to computer for the solutions for certain problems, as well as the electrical household appliance for help. Children should have spent some time into figuring out a way to deal with problems. Thanks to the technology, such time has been greatly saved, so does the creative thinking.
Technology brings one not only an assistant of our live, but also, a set of programmes to limit his way of thinking. Watching TV programmes for most of the time, the way children see the outside world can be greatly changed. They tend to believe that everything happens in the world is just like what happens in the TV programmes. They are less likely to uncover things that ought to be found by themselves, like finding out creative ways to present their love, and make it special for their couples. Since TV programmes and computer games have occupied large amount of their time, they tend to have less time to think and less time to act in their own way, the way that is decided by themselves. Their time of trying to explore the world around them has been sharply reduced, so does the forming of the habit of thinking creatively.
Thus, due to the improvement of technology, their creativity has been greatly influenced, and lowered.

Fossil trade is now becoming a big business, and it actually brings more benefit than damages.
First of all, making fossils available to purchase allows more public organization, some as low level as schools, to purchase the fossils, and in this way, show the fossils to a greater amount of people. Unlike what is said in the lecture that fossils are bought by the private purchasers which becomes a difficult access for the public, public have more accesses to the fossils if fossils purchases are available.
Secondly, scientists will not lose the access of the most important parts of the fossils. Before every piece of fossils becomes valuable, it have to go through a science examination. Through the science examination, scientists can identify the fossil. Even the private fossils have to do in this way. Therefore, there is no way that scientists lose the chance to exam the fossils.
Thirdly, the damage that commercial collectors do is not as serious as the lecture said. If not for these commercial collectors, many fossils would still lying beneath the ground, waiting to be discovered. Therefore, it is much better to damage a little bit and get part of the information instead of all, than to leave them underground and miss all the information, since universities and organizations do not have enough money to explore that large amount of fossils.

Advertisements are playing a more and more important role in introducing the product to the public, in attracting people into purchasing the product. It is not a waste of time and money to advertise a product, and the reason varies. First, people do not always know what kind of product they are in need of. With the help of advertisement, which and illustrate the benefits of owing certain products, people will figure out whether this product can help him with certain problems.

Salvage logging will do more harm than good in a long-term perspective.
First, cleaning up the dead trees does not necessarily provide a right condition for new trees, especially in the long run. The nature process of decaying leave the nutrients where is it belonged, and with the nutrients, new trees can grow well. However, salvage logging will take the nutrients with the dead trees away, which results in a lacking of nutrients.
Second, the increasing of insect population will not lead to a damage of the environment. Spruce beetles have long been existed in the spruce trees peacefully, with no severe damages happens. Meanwhile, good insects as birds are also fed on the dead trees, and they have important contributions to the environment of the forest. Therefore, salvage logging will actually do more harm than the harm induces by insects.
Third, economic benefits that salvage logging provide is small and temporary. They will not last for a long time. Salvage logging requires some special equipment as helicoptors which is expensive to afford. Jobs that are created by salvage logging is also a temporary one, and most for the outsiders as experts, rather than local people.
To conclude, benefits that seem to be created by salvage logging is not a long term benefits, and in some particular part, these "benefits" may actually lead to a damage.

Working and being with one's family are a tough problem that people need to face. It is a dilemma because each side one choose, it means lose the other. Thus, making sure which one really wants become so important. As for me, I cannot see any benefit of putting work in front of family.
Haveing a family is of great meaning for people, for it provides a sense of home for one to share and deal with his happiness, his triumph, as well as his tear and fear. Family is gathered by a group of people who loves each other deeply, and unselfishly. They keep accompany to each other and help each other no matter what happens. Since people gain a lot from their family, it is their responsibility to pay back. Every family member should do something to maintain the unity of it, and this responsibility asks for a notion of family first. Therefore, however important a work is, it should not be placed ahead of family.  
Putting family first does not necessarily means that one should abandon his beloved work. People can get a sense of satisfaction during working, seeing the achievement he has made will definitely make him excited. Also, working is a great way to make one's living, and to keep his family operating well. There is no wrong of putting working in an important place, as long as it gets the respect and understanding from other family members. However, all the benefits work can do should not replace the importance of family.
The overwhelming importance of family rather than work mostly come from the responsibility one should take as a family member, as well as the satisfaction one gains as being a family member. Thus, always put family first is what I believe.
