Dear son,
     The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to
understand me.
     If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   1   teaching
it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   2   the same things thousand and one times, do not   3   me,
listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   4  
you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   5  , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember
when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   6  , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you
see my   7   little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your
mocking (嘲弄) smile. I taught you   8   to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life.
When at some moment I lose the memory or the   9   of our conversation, let me have the necessary
time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our
conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   10   to me.
     If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   11   I need to and when not. When my 
  12   legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   13  , the same way I did when you gave your first
   14  .   And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   15   any more - that I want to rest
forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
     Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,   16   my
mistakes, I always wanted the   17   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must
not feel sad, angry or impotent (无可奈何) for seeing me   18   you. You must be next to me, try to
understand me and to help me as I did it when you   19   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my
way with love and   20  . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
     I love you, son.

Boris Worm of Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada, led the international team that did the study. Professor Worm says species have recently been disappearing from oceans at increasing speed. At this rate, he says, all seafood species could collapse by 2048 and seafood supplies from the world’s ocean could be almost gone by then.

Other studies have also warned about the dangers of overfishing and the effects on ocean environments. But not everyone thinks the oceans are likely to be empty in fifty years. Some scientists said parts of the world do have problems, but others are doing a good job of protecting fish populations. Government officials in several countries with large fishing industries also questioned the research.

The study appeared earlier this month in Science magazine.

The researchers say damage to oceans affects not only fish populations but also the productivity of ecosystems. These complex systems help control water quality. The scientists say the loss of different kinds of sea life appeared to increase the risk of fish kills and beach closures from harmful algae growth.

The scientists examined the results of thirty-two experiments and observed forty-eight protected areas. They also looked at records of catches worldwide. They studied records from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization for nineteen fifty to two thousand three. And they examined archeological information and other historical records for twelve coastal areas. That research reached back over a thousand years.

Boris Worm says the findings were, in his words, "beyond anything we suspected." But he also said the situation is not too late to correct. He said that with good fisheries management, some species could completely recover in three to ten years.
