3、for boats to carry on illegally at night.In 2006, a desperate Tuscan government dropped concrete blocks into the sea to interrupt the trawlers. Fanciulli said they didnt work as they were too far apart and the nets simply dragged between them. He then began to wonder: what if, instead of dropping co

4、ncrete blocks into the water, he dropped art? He asked a mine in nearby Carrara to donate two marble （大理石）blocks to make sculptures.

10、landed on the Greenland ice sheet in 2010, he was expecting to see a primitive white environment.

The rainbow colours Cook encountered are created by a collection

11、 of tiny life forms that reproduce on the surface of the ice sheet. Biodiversity is usually considered a good thing, but in this case the abundance of tiny life is speeding up ice melting, and likely causing global sea level to rise faster than scientists have predicted.Cook says the tiny life forms
