Amy is a biologist(生物学家)working at a marine(海洋的)park. These kinds of parks provide fun and education for tens of thousands of people each year.
Amy takes care of many animals in the park, but she also does important research. As she observes the animals that she looks after, she learns more about their needs and behaviour. This information helps the animals in the park, but it can also be used to protect other members of the species in the wild.
It's hard work to look after these animals. Their needs often change according to different hours of the day. So Amy must depend on her science knowledge and good number sense to help her make the right decisions all day long.
Even though dolphins spend much of their time underwater, they are mammals(哺乳动物).This means that they must come to the surface to take in air.Dolphins give birth to their young. They're not hatched from eggs. Just like all other mammals,mother dolphins must nurse , or feed milk to their babies.
Amy and her team know this first-hand. One of their dolphins recently gave birth. A baby dolphin is not small, either. It was almost 1 metre long the day it was born.A big dolphin usually eats about 4% of its body weight in food every day. Amy knows that a mother dolphin that is nursing needs twice the food. So when the baby dolphin was born, Amy immediately doubled the mother's food every day.
36.How much food does a 300 kg mother dolphin need every day

People say that travel is the best teacher and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming Dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake(1587—1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people, but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60- year-old mother as tradition. required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern- thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support . Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, eventually became The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard- to- reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost, however. Progress was slow and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4- year trip through the southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his home town for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.
