Each year, millions of visitors crowd into our many national parks. With their unmatched beauty, the national parks offer people a place to go to restore (恢复) their energy. The parks we enjoy today, however, might not be around without the past efforts of a few people who supported an idea to protect the natural beauty of our country.
One of these people was the naturalist John Muir. In 1867, on his way west to San Francisco, John Muir walked through Yosemite and quickly recognized its incomparable beauty. Muir devoted himself to learning as much about the wilderness (荒原) as he could. Then, he would pass this learning on to others in many articles he wrote describing the beauty of the area. In order to protect Yosemite from damage, Muir became the voice behind a government bill that would create Yosemite National Park. Soon other bills would follow, and Muir would continue his fight to make Americans understand the importance of protecting the wild. In 1901, Muir wrote a book about the national parks, which caught the attention of people all over the

United States, including President Theodore Roosevelt.
At

age,
TheodoreRoosevelthadshownsignsofapassion(热情)thatwouldstrengthenthroughouthislifetime. During a trip to North Dakota in 1883 he saw the damage done to the land and its wildlife.
Roosevelt would take his ideas about conservation (保护) with him to the White House as the country's 26th president. He would go on to create the U．S. Forest Service, 150 national forests, and 5 national parks. Roosevelt even canceled a 1903 presidential speaking tour in order to spend two weeks camping in Yellowstone, where he gave a speech calling for its protection. While visiting Yosemite, Roosevelt camped for three days with John Muir, who showed the president around and persuaded him to make Yosemite Valley a part of the larger Yosemite National Park. After the trip, Roosevelt commented that there was no better person in the world with whom to see and appreciate Yosemite.
The natural beauty that tourists from around the world enjoy today in the country's national parks is largely due to the efforts of Roosevelt and Muir, who devoted themselves to an idea that has benefited all people.

Mass media are tools of communication.Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large, scattered (分散的) audience.They extend our ability to talk to each other by helping us overcome barriers caused by time and space.
There are various ways in which mass media make daily life easier for us.First, they inform and help us keep a watch on our world.They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to get on our own.
Second, mass media help us to arrange our time and life.What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media.When people get together, they tend to talk about certain happenings in the newspapers or on TV.Because we are exposed (暴露) to different points of view through different kinds of media every day, we are able to evaluate (评价) all sides of a certain issue.
Third, the media are used to persuade people.A good example is advertising through the media.Newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements.Though many advertising may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product, they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.
Fourth, the media also entertain.All of the media make some efforts to entertain their audience.For instance, even though the newspaper is primarily a medium of information, it also contains entertainment features (特征). Television, motion pictures, fiction books and some radio stations and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment.It is estimated that in the future, the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.
