Tekst 1.
THE ISSUE WITH GOLDFISH
Goldfish may look small and cute in your home, but in the wild it’s a different story. Right
now, for example, Washington state is fighting off a literal goldfish invasion. Thousands of
them have settled in West Medical Lake and are threatening the much smaller native fish
population. How did this happen? The Department of Fish and Wildlife suspects that
irresponsible pet owners might be to blame. Another possibility is that pet shop owners may
have thrown unsold goldfish into the lake. And while the goldfish may have cost their owners
just a few dollars, it is going to cost the state around $150,000 to try to remove these rapidly
multiplying fish. But this isn’t the only place where this is happening. Goldfish are invading
lakes and streams worldwide, and it’s our fault.
If you think you’re doing the world a favour by freeing your goldfish, you’re not! Instead,
you’re setting the stage for an ecological disaster, which could threaten hundreds of other
species. Goldfish are one of the world’s most invasive species of fish. They were first
selectively bred in China 2,000 years ago, for food. Then they started to be kept as pets and
were promoted from the status of meals to entertainment. By the 19th century, they reached
North America.
Given enough time and plentiful food sources, the cute little goldfish that were once kept in
a fish tank at home, grow into giant orange monsters in the wild, reaching a weight of up to
2 kilograms! These giant goldfish are big eaters, feeding on plants, insects, shellfish, and
other fish. But they don’t just consume what other fish rely on to survive, they feed so
energetically that a lot of mud gets kicked up from the bottom of the lake, leading to harmful
algae blooms that choke the ecosystem. Another problem is that they also introduce foreign
diseases that destroy delicately balanced ecosystems wherever they go. And they aren’t
content to stay in one place. Goldfish are a rapidly reproducing species which migrates
across multiple bodies of water. So, before setting your goldfish free into a lake or river,
consider the impact on wildlife.

CRACKED EGG
Alex and Jacob headed down the river just as they did every Saturday morning. In some
areas, the current was faster than in others, but Jacob knew how to handle the boat, thanks
to the countless hours he and his dad had spent on the river.
“Look over there! That looks like a good fishing spot!” Alex pointed to an open area with
almost no bushes.
“Not this time. Today we’re heading to where Dad took me a couple of days ago. It was
a great spot for fishing,” Jacob smiled.
The boys had been looking forward to this trip for days. Usually their mothers insisted they
return by nightfall. This time, they were going to spend the night fishing. Soon Jacob spoke
up again, “It should be around here somewhere.” He kept looking forward to the right, but he
also wanted to make sure the boat was steady. “Now, all we have to do is find the cracked
egg,” he said.
Alex looked back at his fishing buddy and exclaimed, “Cracked egg?”
“Yeah, it’s a huge rock that looks like a cracked egg. It’s oval and the crack… well, it’s
undeniable.”
A couple of minutes passed and Alex pointed towards a large rock. He stood up, all excited,
and grabbed his fishing rod. Suddenly, the boat hit one of the huge stones hidden
underwater, which sent the boat racing down the river. Alex lost his balance for a second and
dropped his rod into the water.
“Sit down, Alex! The boat’s going to tip over!”
Jacob had barely spoken the words when he leaned over in the opposite direction. When he
did so, the boat went crashing into some rocks near to the river bank. They jumped out into
the shallow water and pulled the boat onto land. It was immediately obvious that it had been
damaged.
“Now what do we do?” Alex shouted. Suddenly he spotted something that looked like a red
rooftop. “I’m going to climb that hill and see if I can get help. Wait here in case someone
comes by.”
We’re in the middle of nowhere and he wants me to wait for help, Jacob thought. He rolled
his eyes and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
Alex was at the top of the hill when Jacob heard him shout, “You’ve got to see this! Come

Jacob looked up at Alex and down at the boat. “What about the boat?” he asked.
“Leave it! Come on! You’ve got to see this! There’s a lighthouse up here!” Alex gestured
impatiently for Jacob to follow him.
