9、ut 495 pounds of vegetarian food a day. They spend about 16 hours a day eating, but must walk about 4 miles a day in search of food. The average (通常的) elephant lives about 70 years, and its sharp memory allows it to remember places where it has found food as long as 30 years earlier, even as a baby.

10、In an elephants travels, it comes across other elephants also looking for food. Some elephants are friendly, and some are not so nice. Elephants remember every elephant they have ever met. They can even recognize an elephant they perhaps havent seen for 30 years. They immediately remember whether th

11、is elephant is an enemy or a friend.When elephants are not searching for food, they sometimes produce art in the sand with their trunks (象鼻). They seem to enjoy just relaxing and painting in the sand. One day, an elephant zoo-keeper noticed this and gave an elephant a paint brush filled with red pai

12、nt to see if the elephant would paint on a canvas (画布). Sure enough, it did, and since then elephants in most zoos have been given paint brushes, paints, and canvases. The resulting abstract (抽象的) art has been sold for high prices around the world. The money goes to support feeding the elephants in

13、the zoos. Most felt that the elephants were only capable of painting abstracts. However, they have been trained to paint trees, flowers, and other things in nature.

16、awaiiat Manoa studied a huge area in the eastern part of thePacific Oceanknown as the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, or CCZ to find and study new sea species.Diva Amon, a researcher at the University says usually deep sea biologists think there is not a lot living in the deep sea.“But we found that actual

17、ly there is quite a lot living there, and so that was really exciting .” she says.The group is studying the area because the CCZ, a huge and flat area of seabed, is known to have valuable minerals. The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is allowing the company UK Seabed Resources Ltd. to explore t

18、he area on thePacific Oceanfloor for mining. However, the ISA said the company must first complete a biological study of the area before it can begin mining for metals. So, the company employed Amon and her group.Amon says that more than half of the animals they collected were completely new to scie

19、nce. Her group discovered not only new species, but new genera (动植物的属) of animals.Biological oceanographer Paul Snelgrove says that finding new species in the deep ocean is common. But, he said, finding a new genus “is really great.”Amon warns that if mining happens across the whole area, the ecosys

20、tem would be largely destroyed. But, she says, we will find the least damaging way to make mining possible.“There is a sort of scientific push to try and slow things down a bit so that the science can be done before . soitcan be done with the least influence possible .” she says.“Its likely we are g

24、before eight oclock. I was quite clear about the fact that once I left, my house would stand empty for probably the first time since the day it was built. It was a strange feeling and perhaps explains why I was leaving so late, walking around the house many times over, checking one last time to see

25、that all was in order.It is hard to explain my feelings once I did finally set off. As I drove further and further from the house, I found the surroundings (周围的事物) grow unrecognizable.

On the one side of the road, thickets and small trees rose sharply, while on the other I could now see the distant countryside and a town nearby.I walked a little way al

28、ong the roadside, when I heard a voice behind me. Until this point I had believed myself quite alone and I turned in some surprise. Sitting on the large stone was a thin, white-haired man.
