35、ffected by underwater sonar (声呐 ). This sonar, used by some ships, sends out sound waves to locate underwater objects. The Cuviers beaked whale is a so-called toothed whale. Toothed whales dive deep into the ocean in search of food. As the whales hunt, they produce sounds that reach objects and then
36、 return to the whales. This allows the animals to “see” the shape, size, and location of objects, even when theyre 1,000 meters under the sea, where it is totally dark.

46、hts, weekends and holidays. He said he hadnt enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment. Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had
47、a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!
