Toronto's third City Hall,now known as Old City Hall, was designed by Edward James Lennox and declared open on Sept.18,1899. Created to provide more space for city officials, it turned out to be the largest building in the city and the largest city building in North America at the time. Lennox took three years to design the City Hall and it took 11 years to build it. Contemporaries believe that the odd carvings（雕刻）above the Queen Street entrance were actually caricatures （漫画）of councilors at the time. Lennox even included himself in the caricatures， on the west side of the central arch（拱门），and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portions of the building. The third City Hall was originally used as councilors' offices and legal offices, but it is used only as a courthouse today. When the fourth City Hall(the one we know today)was declared open in 1965,Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down.It was saved by a group of people called the“Friends of Old City Hall.” The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street, rather than with the center of the building. The bells in the tower were not installed until the building opened. Old City Hall was declared a historical site in 1989. (76)The entire structure cost more than $2.5million to build at the time.This is equal to $53 million today.

If the Dakota Access Pipeline（输油管道）is completed， it will carry nearly half a million barrels of oil across four states every day. Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), a Texas-based company behind the $3.8 billion project,hopes to finish construction this year.But the Standing Rock Sioux，an American Indian tribe（部落），is determined to stop the 1，172-mile pipeline from being built.(77)Both sides show no signs of backing down. The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in 2014. A section of it will run near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation.A reservation is an area of land set aside for American Indians. The tribe says the construction threatens to destroy historical areas and ancient burial sites. They also say the pipeline could pollute their main water source,the Missouri River.In April, the Standing Rock Sioux began a protest against the project. They camped at the construction site. Since then, thousands of people, including people from other American Indian tribes,have traveled to the site to join the protest. ETP says that the pipeline will have built-in safety measures to protect against oil leaks. Workers will also monitor it remotely，and will be able to close valves（阀）within three minutes if leaks are detected. American Indians have been staging a nonviolent protest for months. The protest took a turn last week when police were called to keep the peace between protesters and armed security guards hired by the company. (78)Twenty-eight people have been arrested since then and charged with interfering with the pipeline construction.

As the National Park Service celebrates its 10Oth anniversary（周年纪念），President Barack Obama has announced the establishment of one new national monument，and 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 582,578square miles,four times its current size. Obama has now created 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.(79)They say their local economies depend on the use of these areas. In establishing this monument，Obama took the side of conservationists（自然资源保护者）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 own. The land's new status as a monument means that mining and drilling operations are forbidden there.(80)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 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, those who support the president's decision say the establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs through tourism.

Green sea turtles（海龟）are the world's largest species of hard-shelled sea turtle.While most individuals weigh about 136 to 181 kilograms,some can be(56) heavy as 204 kilograms. These turtles are found nesting（筑巢）along the coastline of more than 80 countries，with the largest nesting populations (57)in Costa Rica and Australia. Green sea turtles spend most of their lives underwater, (58) they can rest for up to five hours at a time before (59 )up for air. When active,they typically stay underwater for a few minutes and swim up to the surface to(60)air for a few seconds.Green sea turtles also bathe in the sun (61) land. Unlike most other sea turtles,adult green sea turtles eat primarily plant-based foods(62) of seaweed and sea grass. Scientists believe these green foods (63)the sea turtle's fat its green color. Similar to other sea turtles,green sea turtles travel long distances(64)their feeding grounds and their nesting sites,with recorded distances(65)than 2,600 kilometers.They have strong flippers（鳍形肢）that help them(66)in the water. Female green sea turtles leave the water in (67)to lay eggs on the beach and will choose the same nesting (68)as where they are born.A female will dig (69)a nest with her flippers and lay about 115 eggs.Then she'll cover the eggs (70)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. The first few years of a green sea turtle's life are spent(71 )at sea,where they feed on tiny animals and plants(72)live in the surface layer of the sea. As they grow older, the turtles move to (73)waters along the coast,where they find sea grass to eat. Adult green sea turtles face many threats, primarily from humans,including injuries from passing boats,being(74)in fishing nets and pollution. Newly hatched sea turtles are also at(75)of being hunted by other animals as they move from their nests out to the sea.
