　　A team of scientists proved that seals (海豹) had a very good sense of heating. These men trained blind seals to expect food when they heard sounds. The seals always began snapping (猛咬) when a strong signal was sounded.

　　It was proved that even a soft signal, a considerable distance (相当远的距离) away, could make these sea animals respond (起反应). That should make the fisherman who makes much noise while working, or talks loudly, start thinking.

　　The same team of scientists also trained seals to recognize different sounds. One bell-tone meant food, two bell-tones meant no food. In the beginning, the seals made mistakes when the two-bell tones were sounded. They were given a light tap after each mistake. The seals were good learners. They easily learned to tell the difference between the sounds.
