One day, as soon as he got home from school, he walked into his father s room. Dad, he said, I have great news for you. His father smiled. What is it, Jimmy? he asked. Do you remember? asked Jimmy.

According to a study, many male fish in the Potomac River of the United States have turned female. The same thing is happening in many other parts of the world. Why is such a strange thing happening? It s because of pollution. Scientists report that chemicals from plastics can change the sex of fish. If chemicals keep flowing into the river, there will be only female fish. Scientists say that these fish are a sign that something is really wrong. If we don t take action now, a more serious problem might happen in the future.
30 ? / p. 96 Reader s Bank Level 3 A group of people in Indonesia decided to use Hangul as their written language in 2009. This tribe, called the Cia-Cia, has a population of 80,000. They have a spoken language, but they don t have their own writing system. Now they can record their own history or literature using Hangul. They chose Hangul because it s simple and easy to pronounce. For example, in English, the sound of a in cat is different from the sound of a in table. In Hangul, however, each letter has just one sound. This is the first time that a foreign country has adopted Hangul as its written language. Koreans were happy to hear the amazing news. Also, they are starting to show interest in the Cia-Cia people.
