17、 for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure. At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didnt eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surpr

18、ised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery that some things in food cou

19、ld prevent disease. These things were named vitamins. The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a persons food. Today many people know the importance o

Since they cant always see each other, dolphins use their signature whistles to check in with other dolphins hundreds of yards away. “I

That means dolphins shout out to group members that might be nearly five football fields away.Whats amazing is who names the baby dolphin. Not the mother. Not an auntie dol

26、phin or another group member. Scientists believe the baby dolphin itself comes up with the signature whistle. Like human babies, a baby dolphin plays with sounds throughout its first year.
