prize and an asian american prize for literature. it is the story of a young boy named pi who spends 227 days at sea with a small group of animals after disaster strikes their ship and is an account of his journey of survival and hardship.piscine “pi” molitor patel, on whom life of pi is based, is a young boy living in pondicherry, india, where his father owns a zoo. the story starts when patels family decide to move to canada, along with their zoo animals for their new home.however, because of the bad weather, the ship sinks. pi along with an orangutan (猩猩), an injured zebra, a hyena (鬣狗) and a bengal tiger named richard parker are the only survivors who take shelter in a small lifeboat.both the injured zebra and the orangutan are soon killed and eaten by the hyena.the tiger in turn kills and eats the hyena, leaving just the two of them alone on the boat now.in an effort to avoid being eaten by richard parker, pi acts himself as the head of the group and remains safe from harm.since he does not want the tiger to die for fear of going mad by being alone on the boat, he fishes and feeds the two of them in order to stay alive.the life of pi then enters its third stage when their lifeboat washes up on the shores of mexico and the tiger escapes into a nearby forest leaving pi alone. after the mexicans refuse to believe pis story, he changes his tale by replacing the animals with his mother, a cook and a sailor and asks the mexicans which one they prefer. they prefer hearing the first story though they do not believe a word of it.in my view, life of pi is a must read book for all those who love reading.1we can learn that the book life of pi _.awas written in 2001bwas awarded two prizesctells a story about friendshipdis based on the authors personal

sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.so biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the us navy, they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days recording its sounds. this was possible because of the navys formerly top secret system of underwater listening devices across the oceans.tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely observing a deepsea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they planned similar studies.other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in the ocean and global temperatures. different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patients chest to a doctors ear.this focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially lowfrequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles.语篇解读：文章从追踪几乎绝迹的蓝鲸的艰难和需借助尖端设施入手，谈到了军用技术的民用问题。5the underwater listening system was originally designed _.ato
