costs the highest price-their lives.
People living along the coast of Australia and New Zealand have been shocked and saddened by the
number of whales and dolphins that they have found on their beaches recently. Since November 28th, 96
whales and dolphins have died in Australia and 53 whales died in New Zealand. Although 20 whales were
saved, some of these were not expected to live, as they were too weak to swim with the others back to
sea.
Bob Brown, leader of Australia"s Green party, said the mass beaching was caused by the recent "sound
bombing" of the ocean floor between the two countries. This is a method of testing for oil and gas reserves
(储藏量).
But mass beaching of whales has long puzzled scientists. Typically most members of the stranded (搁
浅) group will appear to be perfectly healthy. "Some researchers believe that close relationship within the
group causes the problem, if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave" said Shery Gibney, a leading
biologist in New Zealand. "Some will come in and try and assist it; if they get trapped on the beach, then
more will come."
Another common theory is that the whales" navigation (导航) system are thought to break down in some
way. It has been said that whales follow electromagnetic (电磁的) patterns in the sea-bed. The whales can
get confused because these patterns sometimes change. That would be a bit like a new roundabout (环状交
叉路) being built on a road you were used to driving on. You might be confused for a minute when you
come to it for the first time, and you might even take a wrong turning before getting back on your route.
A different idea is that when whales chase fish for food they end up in shallow waters because they are
not paying attention to where they are going.
And yet, from time to time a group will swim on purpose into shallow waters and end up on the beach,
where they die. If returned to the sea, some whales often show great determination in restraining themselves.

warned recently.
Psychotherapist (采用精神疗法的医生) Andreas Herter estimated that there were some 380,000

users among patients arriving at his Hanover clinic (诊所) for addiction treatment.
"Text message addiction is a real and serious illness because it causes mental and financial damage,"
said Herter. "The problem leads to depression and personality disorders, not to mention skyrocketing
(飞涨的) phone bills."

| [1]One of many important things for the whole family to do is to have dinner together. Researchers began reporting the benefits of family dinner about a decade ago, focusing mainly on how it affects children. Studies show that those families who eat dinner at least 3 or 4 times a week together, benefit in many ways. [2]Eating together helps families achieve open communication and build stronger and healthier relationships. Children have better grades at school and are better adjusted as teens and adults, and the entire family enjoys healthier nutrition. For many families, eating dinner together proves to be a good and effective way to reduce the risk of youth rates of addiction, and helps to raise healthier children. It is also a great time to share the events of the day, discuss news and ideas or just be together and enjoy each other"s company. [3]During dinner time parents have better opportunity to show that they are the prior to their children. Sitting at the same table and sharing meals is where and when parents can find out more about their children"s school performance, daily activities and attitudes toward life. When parents have all this information they can better direct their kids toward positive things in life. They also have better chance to reduce the possibility that children will get involved with alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs. [4]However, family researchers say that the benefits of family dinner by no means can be considered as automatic. Parents can sit down to dinner with their kids every day and achieve nothing. __________________ __ if there is too much arguing going on, if there is no meaningful conversation or, what is even worse, if there is just plain silence during gathering. |
