In 1934, the scientist William Beebe dived 3,000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935, Auguste Piccard dived 10,330 feet. In 1960, his son Jean dived to a depth of 35,800 feet.
All these early dives were deep. (47). They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below the surface. Gradually, they succeeded. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.
(48). With this new equipment, men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962, Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then in 1964, he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea.(49).
Many countries are now studying undersea living.(50). The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands. In 1970, five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans for the use of its resources.
(46)
A. This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.
B. But the divers could not stay down for very long.
C. Scientists hope to find enough mineral, vegetable, and animal wealth there.
D. Now they are exploring below the surface, too.
E. The Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea.
F. Now scientists are developing even better equipment.

Animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other our chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted,the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. What does the passage mainly discuss A.The role of instinct in animal behavior
B.Observations that suggest consciousness in an anima behavior
C.The use of food in studies of animal behavior
D.Differences between the behavior. of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments.
The Value of Animal Research
To paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke, "all
that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that
good people do nothing." One such cause now seeks to end
biomedical research because the theory that animals have rights 【M1】__________
ruling out their usage in research. Leaders of the animal rights 【M2】__________
movement targets biomedical research because it depends on 【M3】__________
public funding, and a few people understand the process of health 【M4】 __________
care research.
Scientists must communicate their message to public in a 【M5】__________
compassionate, understandable way—on human terms, not in the 【M6】__________
language of molecular biology. We need to make it clear the 【M7】__________
connection between animal research and a grandmother's
hip replacement, a father's bypass operation, a baby's
vaccinations, and even a pet's shots. Scientists could "adopt"
middle school classes and present their own research. They
should be quick to respond to letters of the editor, lest animal 【M8】__________
rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive
appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to
tours, to show that laboratory animals receive human care. Finally, 【M9】__________
because the ultimate stakeholders are patients, the health
research community should actively recruit to its cause not
only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who
has made courageous statements about the value of animal
research, and all who receive medical treatment. If good people do 【M10】__________
nothing there is a real possibility that an uninformed citizenry will
extinguish the precious embers of medical progress.
