[02:37.94]business or family occasion 6.

[02:40.42]The evening meal is usually longer and a time for family to gather together.

[02:46.27]Rushing through daytime meals is part of the fast pace in America.

[02:51.00]Another reason for rushing through daytime meals is that many people eat in restaurant

[02:56.67]that are usually crowded with people waiting for a place so that

[03:01.21]they too can be served and return to work at the proper time.

[03:10.85]As with busy people everywhere

[03:13.25]there is a real difference with meals

[03:15.71]that are eaten in a hurry and those that can be enjoyed slowly with friends.

[04:26.95]The need  for wildlife protection is greater now than everbefore.

[04:31.65]About a thousand species 13 of animals are in danger of extinction 14

[04:35.64]and the rate at which they are being destroyed has increased.

[04:39.25]Within mammals,for instance 15

[04:41.13]the rate of extinction is now about one species every year.

[04:45.65]From A.D. 1 to 1800,the rate was about one species every fifty years.

[04:52.83]Everywhere,men are trying to solve the problem of preserving wildlife

[04:57.38]while caring for the would's growing population.

[05:40.04]and thousands of asteroids 17 to be explored.

[05:43.56]Their total area is about 250 times that of the earth.

[05:49.57]Spaceships will not be able to land on some of the

[05:53.52]but that still leaves to be explored

[05:55.74]and area ten times as great as the continents of the earth.

[06:01.04]Exploring space may seem terrifying to some people.

[06:05.61]No doubt explorers of the past were terrified by the great empty oceans that lay before them.
