15、wife and children died on the island where they were abandoned by a medical testing company many years ago.For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponsos only company, visiting him so often to bring bananas and bread-the chimps only source of food on the tiny island. It was clear how much

16、 Ponso missed companionship when he was recently visited by Chimpanzee Conservation Centre Director Estelle Raballand.

These animals typically live be

22、tween the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feetas far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless theyre e

23、ating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? Its trickier than you might think. The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter

24、(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping itdeadin its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily. But a transparent object doesnt absorb or scatter light, at least not very much

Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的) material 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 do

29、wn light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how theyre doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.32.According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals
