Dolphins in Haifa Harbor
Haifa harbor is full of fish — but also chemicals
In March 2005, about 45 dolphins came into Haifa port. Another 20 were swimming in the bay outside the port.
The dolphins were the “rough-tooth” type. They are called that because their teeth are not smooth, but have ridges. Rough-tooth dolphins usually live in deep, warm tropical waters, but not near our coast.
Dolphins are very intelligent. Usually they do not come into busy ports because of all the ships there. But it seems that these dolphins were hungry. One dolphin expert said that they probably came in for “lunch” because the port area has a lot of fish living in it.
However, dolphin lovers were worried. The water in the bay is very polluted and there are many chemicals in it. People were afraid that the dolphins would get sick from being in the water and from eating the fish there. Scientists know that fish that live in dirty water are not good to eat, neither for people nor for dolphins.
People in Haifa were very interested in their dolphin visitors. T.V crews came to film them; it was the first item on the news. Lots of people also tried to get into the port to see the dolphins, but not many succeeded. Many went to other places where they could see the dolphins in the bay.
The dolphins left the port a few days later. Experts said that they looked well and did not seem to be suffering from the pollution.

TOURISTS TO OUTER SPACE
12
3
4 / Many people like to travel. Some enjoy traveling in their own countries, others like to see the world and visit new places. Apart from the main options of home or abroad, there are other choices too. Those who look for peace and quiet choose camping in the wild. Others prefer big, busy cities with lots of museums, theaters, and restaurants.
But there are people who want to experience something absolutely new and unusual. For such tourists, an American company called Virgin Galactic has a special offer. Their engineers are working on a new kind of spaceship. It will take tourists into space and they will be able to look at the Earth from a height of more than 100 kilometers. During the flight, passengers will experience what real astronauts feel when they are in outer space.
Tickets for a space flight aren’t cheap. But there are enough rich people who are ready to pay $200,000 ─ $390,000 for a trip like that. One of these is American multimillionaire Dennis Tito, 60, who went on an eight-day space flight on a Russian spacecraft. The trip cost him $20,000,000 !
Another American company called Rocketplane is working on making a regular plane suitable for traveling into space. This is much cheaper than building a new spaceship. That is why this company promises that its tickets to outer space will cost “only” $150,000 – $160,000. A real bargain!

Hi. My name is Avi Morad and I’m a carpenter. I work for the Acme Garden Furniture Company in Kiryat Shmona. I have worked there for nine years.
