In most situations, light helps us see

．

But nowadays humans are using too much of it

so that it is in fact a kind of pollution

．

When it comes to looking at the night sky, too much light makes it difficult for us

to

watch some of life’s most wonderful sights: stars, planets and even galaxies

（星系）

．

According to scientific research, about 2, 500 stars can be seen by the human eye

without using any special equipment

（设备）

．

But because of light pollution, you can

only see 200

to 300 stars from today’s countryside, and no more than ten stars from

a

city

．

In

most

big

cities,

people

cannot

see

the

sky

filled

with

stars

like

they

did

in their childhood

．

Light pollution affects more than just our view of sky

．

Research shows that lots of

nighttime light can harm wildlife, too

．

When

birds

fly

to

another

place

over

cities,

they

sometimes

get

lost

by

the

brightness

and

fly

in

circles

（圈）

until

they

drop

from

tiredness

．

Sea

turtles

（海龟）

need

dark

beaches

for

laying

eggs,

but

they

can’t

find

t

heir

ideal

places

because

of

those

bright

lights

．

Too much light at night may even affect human health, but scientists are not sure of

that

．

They are still learning more

．

In order to prevent things from going worse, governments and some organizations are

working

to

reduce

light

pollution

．

Many

cities

and

towns

have

taken

action

to

reduce

the use of lights at night

．

Lights are used only when and where they are truly

needed

．

They also shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky and use

lower brightness levels

．

Hopefully,

in

the

near

future,

humans

can

enjoy

the

clear

and

beautiful

sky

again

and

all the wildlife will live a peaceful and undisturbed life, too

．

done

in

the

world;

critically

to

inquire

into it; carefully to consider it; clearly to analyze it; and earnestly to carry it

out.

It

matters

not

what

you

learn,

but

when

you

once

learn

a

thing,

you

must

never

give

it up until you have mastered it. It matters not what you inquire into, but when you

once inquire into a thing, you must never give it up until you have thoroughly

understood

it.

It

matters

not

what

you

try

to

think

of,

of a thing, you must never give it up until you have got what you want. It matters

not what you try to carry out, but when you once try to carry out a thing, you must
