27、 in the Clear Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a

28、simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “ These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It s trickier than you might think.

29、 The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter( 散射 ) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an obje

30、ct look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily. But a transparent object doesn t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much, Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That mea ns a transparent object doesn t look very different from the surrounding air or

31、water. You don t see it -you see the things behind it. To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments( 色素 ) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn t have pigments,

32、 so its tissues won t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering. Animals are built of many different materials-skin, fat, and more-and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a m

33、aterial with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的 )ma

34、terial and spread themselves over it . Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear fo

35、r these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white. 13. According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals_. A. stay in groups B. can be easily damaged C. appear only in deep ocean D. are beautiful creatures 14. One way for an animal t

But calming down in front of the TV or computer isn t the true relaxation. Depending on what you re watching or doing, it could even make you more nervous.

39、 The same is true for school, drugs or tobacco. They may seem to relieve anxiety or stress, but it s a false state of relaxation that s only temporary.
