 Every year 2.2 million tons of oil are spilled（散落，溅出）into the ocean. Actually, this only amounts to a small percentage of the total 1.6 billion tons of oil shipped around the world each year. However, this spilled oil has terrible effects on ocean life, including the coastlines where the oil washes up onto shore. Some of the largest spills in history were caused by oil tankers running into each other or by an oil tanker sailing into shallow water and hitting the bottom of the ocean. After these spills, officials try to discover who or what was at fault to help prevent similar accidents in the future.
 One of the worst oil spills in history occurred along the Alaskan coastline in 1989. In this accident, 42,000 tons of oil spilled from a tanker which resulted in terrible damage to this sensitive natural area. In this spill, the tanker’s captain, who was tired form overwork and drinking alcohol, had gone to take a rest. He gave control of the ship to the third mate.The third mate was unfamiliar with the path the ship took, and he ran the ship onto Blighe Reef. Blighe Reef is a natural underwater rock wall near the Alaskan coast. Damaged by the reef, the ship leaked oil out into the ocean. More than 1,600 kilometers of coastline were affected by the oil spill. Some scientists who studied nature in the area guessed that 580,000 birds and 5,500 otters died when the oil from the spill covered their skin. As well, smaller shellfish and other sea creatures were later eaten by seals, whales, and other animals.
 The most oil ever spilled was actually dumped on purpose as an act of ecological warfare. The term ecological warfare means to fight by doing harm to nature in the area under attack. In 1990, Iraq sent soldiers into Kuwait and set off the Persian Gulf War. As part of the Iraq war plan, 9000,000 tons of oil were let out into the Persian Gulf by Iraq. This oil covered 1,500 square kilometers of water in the Persian Gulf. The oil also damaged 650 kilometers of the coastline of both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. In some places, oil floating on the water was measured to be 43 centimeters thick. Water birds, water plants, and baby fish were all seriously affected by the oil. The long-term effects of this act on the food chain in the area are bound to cause problems far into the future.

 China loves exhibitions. Exhibitions provide people with a chance to see what is available, and perhaps more importantly, what may be available. In order to make your visit more efficient, the rules listed below may be of some help to you.
 Avoid attending the opening ceremony
 Unless your company is sponsoring（主办）the exhibition, find out when the opening ceremony is and show up about 30 minutes after that. The opening ceremony is like a starting gun as soon as it’s over, the gathered crowds will rush to the doors to get inside the exhibition halls.
 Don’t be distracted by pretty models
 Hot cars and pretty girls may go well together, but don’t be distracted by them. Remember what you really want to see at an exhibition.
 Go early
 Unlike the western competitors, Chinese exhibitors don’t give away a lot of freebies during exhibitions. So, if you want the freebies, go to the show on the first day, right after the opening ceremony.
 Don’t go during lunch hour
 Lunch is like a daily national holiday in China. Lunch hour, unfortunately, leaves exhibition booths manned by guys who are more interested in stuffing food into their mouths than explaining the product or promoting the company.
 Avoid any booth with a big screen TV, a video game, or a loudspeaker
 These are cheap ways of attracting consumers to visit a booth, and it doesn’t always guarantee that the vendor（卖主）has a good product to show. Its purpose is to attract people with an electronic dog-and-pony show.
 Hand your name cards out to everyone
 Take plenty of business cards in both Chinese and English with you when going to an exhibition. Hand them out to every exhibitor whose booth you visit. This method helps advertise the name of your company, so don’t leave home without them!
 Follow the guards
 Guards are available to assist anyone in need of help and to keep order. So follow them and look for the best products to see at an exhibition.
 Set a time limit
 Prepare for what you want to see, how much time you want to spend and where you want to spend your time.
 Remember these rules and your will have a fruitful experience at an exhibition.
