When you walk into the small Australian town of Coober Pedy，you may be surprised by what you can see.It's just barren land there!
So why even call it a town？There are more than 4 ，000 people of 48 nationalities.However，all of the people live underground !
Coober Pedy was established in 1915，following the discovery of opals （貓眼石） .The town is sometimes called "the opal capital of the world"，because it is the largest opal mining area in the world.
Because of the desert climate，people came to realize that while working under the ground was easy，living above it was not.The solution was to move underground，by changing old mines into homes and establishing the world's first and most likely，only underground town.
As years have gone by，the homes have become bigger.There are now also some hotels for tourists，They come from all over the world just to see this unusual town.Coober Pedy is probably best known for is unique style of underground living.
While the structures may be located underground，they are in no way worse than those that lie above.Not only do their walls have the color of beautiful red，but also the structures have all the modern equipment like walk-in closets，modern kitchens and televisions.And the to town also has gift shops selling opal jewelry，a couple of museums and even a church!
Besides，Coober Pedy is also a favorite among filmmakers.And it has appeared in a series of movies such as Pitch Black，Red Planet and Opal Dream.

2．New York City in the United States has an unusual way of cleaning up its polluted Hudson River：oysters（牡蠣）.It is part of a plan to create a healthier ecosystem in the river by increasing the oyster population.Oysters may help to restore the waters and bring back more sea life.How do oysters do it？
Oysters act as natural "water purifiers".They are filter feeders（濾食動(dòng)物）.That means they take in water through their gills and filter out the food in it，such as algae（藻類），which they then eat.A single adult oyster can filter up to 189 litres of water in a day.As they feed，oysters also filter other harmful things out of the water.
One of these is nitrogen，a chemical found in septic tanks（化糞池）.Sometimes nitrogen gets washed into rivers and oceans when it rains.Too much nitrogen in the water causes much algae to grow.The algae uses up the oxygen in the water，which can harm other sea life.Oysters filter nitrogen out of the water and use it to grow their shells.
Oysters also build reefs（珊瑚礁），which are important to the whole ecosystem.Oysters attach（依附）themselves to hard surfaces underwater like rocks.Then more oysters attach themselves on top of those.As the oysters grow，their shells mix together to form a reef.When the new oysters are placed in the Hudson River，they are attached to metal cages in the water.These become the foundations for new reefs，which will get larger as more oysters build on top of them.
Oyster reefs provide homes for plants and animals.Reefs also help to protect the shoreline.Large reefs reduce the effect of waves coming in from the ocean，and help to reduce flooding and protect the coast.
Over the years，the New Yorkers have done a lot for the river，but it will still take tens of years before the new reefs being created in the Hudson River grow as the reefs that were destroyed long ago，but there are already signs that the ecosystem is healthier.

B．a(chǎn) question
C．a(chǎn)n example
（2）The underlined word "these" in Paragraph 3 refers to.

B．The New Yorkers' effort doesn't work as expected.
C．There have been too many reefs in the Hudson River.
D．There's still a long way to go to clean up the Hudson River.
