11、d the expansion (扩大) of another. In Maine, more than 87,500 acres of forest will become government-protected parkland for the first time. In Hawaii, a national monument created by President George W. Bush in 2006 will expand to about 582,578 square miles, four times its current size. Obama has now c
12、reated or enlarged 26 national monuments during his presidency. As a result, his administration says, Obama has protected more of the nation“s land than any other president has. But some residents and officials, in both Maine and Hawaii, object to the plans. （78） They say their local economies depen
13、d on the use of these areas. In establishing this monument, Obama took the side of conservationists (自然次源保护者) who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usually requires the approval of Congress. But a 1906 federal law allows the president to establish national monuments on his ow
14、n. The land“s new status as a monument means that mining and drilling operations are forbidden there. （79） It may also severely limit activities such as logging, road-building, and hunting. Some of Maine“s politicians who want to protect the state“s logging industries say Obama should not have acted
15、 alone. They say Washington should not tell the States how to use their land, especially when people“s jobs are at stake . Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should have listened to Maine lawmakers and residents, as well as to the U. S. Congress before making his decision. However, th

41、 hard-shelled sea turtle. While most individuals weigh about 136 to 181 kilograms, some can be 1 heavy as 204 kilograms. These turtles are found nesting (筑巢) along the coastline of more than 80 countries, with the largest nesting populations 2 in Costa Rica and Australia. Green sea turtles spend mos
42、t of their lives underwater, 3 they can rest for up to five hours at a time before 4 up for air. When active, they typically stay underwater for a few minutes and swim up to the surface to 5 air for a few seconds. Green sea turtles also bathe in the sun 6 land.

Female green sea turtles leave the water in 12 to lay eggs on the beach and will choose the same nesting 13 as where they were born. A female will dig 14 a nest with her flippers and lay about 115 eggs. Then she“l
45、l cover the eggs 15 sand and return to the sea. After about two months the babies will use a special “egg tooth“ to break their shells and hatch (孵化) from their eggs.

46、ce layer of the sea. As they grow older, the turtles move to 18 waters along the coast, where they find sea grass to eat.
