　　Big ocean fish have almost been endangered since the start of business fishing in the 1950s．The scientists found that the number of large fish has dropped by 90 percent in the past fifty years．The study took ten years．The researchers collected records from fishing businesses and governments around the world．The magazine Nature published(發(fā)表)the findings．

　　The scientists say the common way called longline fishing is especially harmful to large fish．This way includes many fishing lines that are connected(連接)to one boat．If these lines are joined together, they can reach one hundred kilometers．They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks(鉤)to catch fish．Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry．Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one hundred hooks．The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks．

　　The scientists say business fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past．It’s not the only worry that the number of large fish is becoming smaller and smaller．

　　What’s worse, they are smaller in size than their ancestors(祖先)．

　　Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork．It can make you confident when you are studying．But unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes．

　　If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great．You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class．Different teachers do things differently．For example, some teachers may focus on(關(guān)注)lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard．Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat them．

　　Don’t try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points．Some students really learn better with the help of these notes．

　　Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you’re missed．If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class．

　　Comparing(對比)your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning．It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes．

　　Note-taking also needs organization．Keep notes for each subject in one place, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes．

　　Good note-taking takes time．If you decide to recopy your notes every evening, you’ll surely have less time to watch TV．But you’ll save time in the coming test．
