Earth is home to many amazing natural and man-made sights. However, because of pollution and climate (气候) change, many of these beautiful places will probably disappear over the next 100 years. Here are three of them. Check them out if you have a chance, but try to take a train!
 Venice, Italy | Venice has fascinated visitors for centuries as the “Floating City”. No visit to Venice is complete without a ride in a special boat, gondola（贡多拉）. But with rising sea levels, the city is going down fast. According to a US-based magazine, it may disappear in the next 100 years. |
 The Dead Sea | At 430 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is Earth’s lowest point on land. The high salt content (含量) —more than 34 percent—makes swimming more like floating. Now the Dead Sea is actually dying. Since 1930, its surface area has reduced (减少) by almost 40 percent. |
 Great Barrier Reef, Australia | The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest reef (礁石) ecosystem. Thousands of colorful coral (珊瑚) and fish make homes under the blue waves. It’s like a big underwater party! Unluckily, the party might be over soon. It’s reported that the reef system might be gone by 2030. |
