阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
     There have been many types of ecological disasters caused to the Australian ecosystem by
introducing other animals. The most famous one was the introduction of the rabbit. The rabbits
in Australia are mostly from a group of wild rabbits in south eastern Australia. These were released
in the hope of starting a business selling rabbits’ skin. This did actually happen, but there was nothing
to stop the rabbits spreading to the rest of mainland Australia. Now we have billions. They compete
with the native animals, damage the vegetation and severely reduce the potential carrying capacity of
the land for grass-eating animals like sheep and cattle.
    As well as the disasters caused to the land ecosystem, there have been ones in the water. The most
obvious one was the deliberate introduction of European carp (欧洲鲤鱼) to the River Murray. The
carp were introduced to eat the weeds growing in the river. Now they have taken over much of the
river’s ecosystem and severely reduced the number of native fish.
Not all destructive introductions in Australia were of foreign species. There are several cases of native
Australian animals being taken to different places in Australia and causing destruction. Koalas were
introduced to Kangaroo Island and increased to such an extent that they are killing off the Manna Gum
trees.

答案

One possible version:
    The passage mainly tells us about some types of disasters caused to the Australian ecosystem
by introducing other animals such as the introduction of the rabbit to the mainland and European
carp to the River Murray.
     The natural balance in an ecosystem must be maintained. This balance may be disturbed due
to the introduction of new species, the sudden disappearance of some species and especially
man-made causes. Air, land and water pollution is increasing day by day. The average temperature
of the Earth is increasing and huge glaciers are melt ing faster.
     In the early twentieth century, Roosevelt, president of the US, ordered to kill cruel wolves with
the purpose of protecting lovely deer in one of the flourishing forests in Arizona. Therefore, the deer
was protected well and its population increased greatly because there were fewer wolves. To
everybody’s surprise, the forest became lifeless with a great number of deer eating its resources
and disappeared finally. As a result, large quantities of deer died due to the food shortage.
    It is vital for human beings to live in harmony with nature. Every individual has to make his actions
eco-friendly. It is high time that man realized he is an integral part of the environment. We should
develop eco-friendly habits, and try to stop any activities that will damage the environment.
