This year, though, Kelson Poepoe, a conservationist on Hawaii’s Molokai Island, helped publish an unusual version on this model. Poepoe and his colleagues decided to print a calendar telling people when not to fish.Many of the Homestead’s residents still follow an existence lifestyle, gathering roughly one-third of their food by fishing in nearby Mo’omomi Bay. But, even though overfishing has exhausted fish populations throughout Hawaii, Mo’omomi Bay’s fishery is booming, with a higher fish density(密度) than nearly anywhere else in the main islands.The new calendar is based on the ancient fishing practices that have helped keep those populations strong. Hawaiians have long known that carefully tended resources will renew themselves. To make this process easier, fishermen traditionally worked hard to understand and adapt to fish behavior. For example, they closely monitored where and when key species gathered to reproduce, and they prevented fishing during those times. By contrast, most of today’s fishermen see spawning(产卵) periods as a chance to get large numbers of fish, which can cause population break down.While these traditional methods have largely died out, they are still practiced by Poepoe and his fellow men at Mo’omomi Bay. “We have a rule of conduct that basically says, take only what you can eat fresh, don’t stock your fridge, and don’t take the fish when they spawn,” Poepoe said.In 1993, Poepoe helped found the conservation group Hui Malama Mo’omomi to teach those practices to new generations, and publishing the calendar is a key part of this move. It follows the lunar cycle, declaring when certain species are not available or “taboo.” It also includes helpful hints about fish lifecycles, detailing exactly where in the bay certain kinds of fish like to gather, how to tell males from females, and which fishing methods are least likely to harm fish populations long-term.So far, these methods have helped keep Mo’omomi Bay’s fish number totals far higher than elsewhere in the surrounding islands.With hopes of copying this success, a number of local groups are interested in creating similar calendars for other coastal areas. But that’s a difficult project, partly because fish habits are highly local, meaning that the information in the calendar applies mainly to Mo’omomi Bay. Still, these groups believe the basic methods are transferable.51. What does the passage mainly tell us?  A. New lunar calendar tells Hawaiians when not to fish.  B.

To use a similar new calendar for other coastal areas, people have to ________.  A. fish only when key species gather to reproduce  B. understand and adapt to fish behavior there  C. learn how to tell males from females  D. keep fish number totals high55. It seems that most modern fishermen ________.  A. may use the new fishing calendar soon  B. are likely to catch fish during spawning periods  C. fish much more than what they can eat fresh  D. try their best not to harm fish populations long-term
