16、. It was getting very, very cold, there were no streetlights, and the hill I was hoping to see on my right was nowhere in sight.

But new research shows noses arent the only way that sharks detect smells: Their entire bodies, in fact, function as giant noses capable of

31、even picking up the“shape”of a smell.Running down the sides of every shark are nervepacked strips called side lines. Researchers know these sensitive structures can detect the faint movements sent by living things in water, but their ability to pick up the smell was previously unknown. Even more sur

32、prising, researchers said, is that side lines can detect the 3D“plumes”of smellsstructures looking like turbulence left behind after waving a hand through thick fog or steam.“Odor plumes are complex, dynamic, threedimensional structures used by many animal species to locate food, mates and home site

33、s，”said Jelle Atema, a Boston University biologist and coauthor of the study detailed in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Experimental Biology. When prevented from using“odor plumes”information, the study shows, sharks are unable to find the source of an odor.To find this out, researchers did an

34、experiment. They ran a stream of squid(鱿鱼)odor through a circulating water tank and noted a sharks ability to find the sourcewith no eddies(漩涡)and plumes to track, the shark almost always failed. They then used the same setup, but added a brick behind the smell source, thereby mixing the flow of the

35、 squids smell and giving the shark more information to track it. Sure enough, the shark got on much better in locating the“prey”Researchers also numbed(麻醉)the lateral lines with a common antibiotic, producing a similarly disabling effect on the sharks hunting abilities.“The results are interesting f

Then just last year the city

When I saw the fence and bulldozers, I asked myself，“Why dont they just leave it alone？”Looking back, I think what sentenced the park to oblivion(被遗忘)was the drought(旱灾)w

41、e had about four years ago. Up until then, Southway Park was a nice green park with plenty of trees and a public swimming pool. My friends and I rollerskated on the sidewalks, climbed the trees, and swam in the pool all the years I was growing up. The park was almost like my own yard. Then the summe

42、r I was fifteen the drought came and things changed.There had been almost no rain at all that year. The city stopped watering the park grass. Within a few weeks I found myself living across the street from a huge brown desert. Leaves fell off the park trees, and pretty soon the trees started dying,

43、too. Next, the park swimming pool was closed. The city cut down on the work force that kept the park, and pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore.As the drought lasted into the fall, the park got worse every month. The rubbish piled up or blew across the brown grass. Soon the onl

44、y people in the park were beggars and other people down on their luck. People said drugs were being sold or traded there now. The park had gotten scary, and my mother told us kids not to go there anymore.The drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal, that is, everything but the p

45、ark. It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way. Then about six months ago I heard that the city was going to“redevelop”certain wornout areas of the city. It turned out that the city had planned to get rid of the park, sell the land and let someone build rows of apartm

46、ent buildings on it.The chainlink fencing and the bulldozers did their work. Now we live across the street from six rows of apartment buildings. Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction. The neighborhood has changed without the park. The streets I used to play in are jammed with cars now. Things will never be the same again. Sometimes_I_wonder,_though,_what_changes_another_drought_would_make_in_the_way_things_are_today.48H
