It's usual to find sea turtles (龜) wash up on the beaches of Cape Cod,Massachusetts,US. In November 2014,though,things got strange. “It started out as a normal year，”said a man there. “Then it quickly got out of control.”

   In a “normal year' about 200 turtles wash up in Cape Cod. But between November and December-2014,the number of sea turtles climbed to nearly 1 ,300. Nobody knew why. But one thing was clear: The turtles would need more help than ever.

   Most of the turtles that wash up in Cape Cod are endangered. They are bom on beaches in Mexico and Texas,US. Then young tortles swim into the Gulf (海灣) of Mexico. Some get caught in the Gulf Stream(墨西哥灣流) ，and it pulls them north to Cape Cod. In cold water,a turtle’s  heartbeat slows and the turtle is unable to swim. As a result,it washes up on the beach.

   Volunteers save the turtles and take them to the New England (水族館) for medical care. The goal is to get the turtles healthy and then set them free in warmer,southern waters,mostly off the coast of Florida.

   In the winter of 2014,the aquarium couldn't help all 733 turtles brought in alive. So about 15 wildlife centers across the country went to take 561 of the turtles. An official said,wTliis couldn’t have been done without everyone's help."
