Scientists used to explore on the surface of the ocean. Now they are exploring below the surface, too. They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.

      In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3,000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 August Piccard dived 10, 330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35,800 feet.

All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below the surface. Gradually they succeeded. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.

Now scientists are developing even better equipment. With this new equipment, men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then in 1964 he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea. This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.

Many countries are now studying undersea living things. The former Soviet Union had an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans for the use of its resources. Scientists hope to find enough mineral, vegetable, and animal wealth there to provide food for the entire world.

64. In order to _____, scientists are exploring below the surface of the ocean.

A. know about the ocean water deep in the ocean

B. know about the plant and animal life deep in the ocean

C. stay down longer to study life of the plant and animal below the surface

D. both A and B

65. Who set up the first undersea station?

A. A Frenchman                         B. An American

C. A Russian                             D. The passage made no mention

66. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Nobody can stay below the surface of the ocean.

B. The early divers could not stay below the surface of the ocean for very long.

C. The purpose of setting up the undersea laboratories is to make plans for the use of the resources in the ocean.

D. Up to now only five women scientists have stayed in the undersea laboratory.

It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.

Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.

Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood back to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain’s temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.

53.The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that ____.
A. the time is too short for doctors                     

B. the patients are often too nervous
C. the damage is extremely hard to fix                 

D. the blood-cooling machine might break down

54.The brain operation was made possible mainly by ____.
A. taking the blood out of the brain                      B. trying the operation on monkeys first
C. having the blood go through a machine             D. lowering the brain’s temperature

55.With Dr. White’s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain ____.
A. can last as long as 30 minutes                         B. can keep the brain’s blood warm
C. can keep the patient’s brain healthy                  D. can help monkeys do different jobs

56.What is the right order of the steps in the operations?
a. send the cooled back to the brain                      b. stop the blood to the brain
c. have the blood cooled down                            d. operate on the brain
A. a, b, c, d                    B. c, a, b, d                  C. c, b, d, a                  D. b, c, d, a
