They do this by building dams in the streams. _12_ is stored behind the dams, and ponds are formed. _13_, the streams are not totally gone because some water continue to flow through.Beavers homes are called lodges. To build their lodges, beavers first _14_ deep spots in the ponds they have made. Then they cut down small trees using their sharp teeth. (Beavers teeth grow every day, so they dont have to worry about wearing them down.) _15_, they pull the logs(原木) to the ponds and “glue” them together with mud(泥土). The lodges always have two _16_; both are built underwater. This improves _17_ greatly. Beavers cannot move fast on land.

They are here to study the snow monkeys, and they hope the potatoes will lure some out of hiding. Shortly, a group of furry snow monkeys moves out of the forest and onto the beach. They like the sweet potatoes.The monkeys sort out the sweet potatoes from the sand on the bench. But the sand feels bad between their teeth. So they pick the sand off the potatoes before they eat them.Imo, a young monkey in the group, picks at the sand on her sweet potato, but its slow going. Suddenly she stands up and carries her potato to a small stream that comes down from the mountain. She puts her potato into the water once, twice, three times. The sand is gone. Imo eats her potato without sand and her favorite playmate has been watching. For the next six months, the scientists watch as other monkeys try Imos new idea.

Some even follow Imos lead as she starts to dip her sweet potato in the sea, even after it is clean. Dip, bite, dip again. The salty water makes the potato taste even better! Finally, Imos new idea spreads through the group until most of the younger monkeys are washing their sweet potatoes.

At that time, about 1850, Native Americans lived in the northern area until lumbermen(伐木工人) discovered it. Many trees were cut down. In 1918, the Save-the-Redwoods League was formed in an effort to protect the area, and by 1920 many state parks were set up. Redwood National Park was created in 1968 even though about 90% of the original redwood trees had already been cut down.l When to visit:Summers are warm. It is the busiest time of the year. Winters are cool and provide a different kind of visit. If you enjoy bird-watching, plan your visit during the spring. You may also want to consider a visit during the fall to catch the amazing fallen leaves.l Getting There:l For those driving into the park, you will use U.S. Highway 101 whether you are traveling from the north or south.

His father was Immanuel Nobel and his mother was Andriette Ahlsell Nobel. They named their son Alfred. Alfred had two elder brothers, Robert born in 1829, and Ludvig born in 1831. Alfreds father was an engineer and inventor. In the same year when Alfred was born, his fathers business suffered losses and had to be closed. In 1937, Immanuel Nobel decided to set up his business somewhere else and left for Finland and Russia. Alfreds mother was left in Stockholm to take care of the family. After a time Immanuel Nobels business in St. Petersburg, Russia started doing well. With his success in Russia, Immanuel was now able to move his family to St. Petersburg in 1842. By 1843, another boy was born into the family, Emil. The four Nobel brothers were given first-class education with the help of private tutors. Their lessons included natural sciences, language and literature. At the age of 17, Alfred could speak and write in Swedish, Russian, French, English and German. Alfred was most interested in literature, chemistry and physics. His father wanted his sons to follow in his footsteps and was not pleased with Alfreds interest in poetry. He decided to send the young man abroad to study and become a chemical engineer. In Paris, Alfred met a young Italian chemist, Ascanio Sobrero. Three years earlier, Ascanio Sobrero had invented nitroglycerine(硝化甘油), a highly explosive liquid. It was considered too dangerous to be of practical use. Alfred became very interested in nitroglycerine and how it could be used in construction work. When he returned to Russia after is studies, he worked together with his father to develop nitroglycerine as a commercially and technically useful explosive.After the Nobel family returned to Sweden in 1863, Alfred concentrated on developing nitroglycerine as an explosive. In 1864, he was able to start mass production of nitroglycerine.The invention of dynamite(炸药) was made in 1866. Alfred got a patent(专利) or legal right of ownership of this material the next year. By the time of his death in 1896 he had got 355 patents.Alfred had no family of his own. His secretary Bertha von Suttner was also his good friend. She wrote the famous book Lay Down Your Arms. When Alfred Nobel later wrote his will to establish the Nobel Prizes, he included a prize for persons or organizations who promoted peace.Alfred died in San Remo, Italy on December 10, 1896. in his last will, he wrote that much of his fortune was to be used to give prized to those who have done their best for humanity(人类) in the field of physics, chemistry, physiology(生理学) or medicine, literature and peace. Not everybody was pleased with this. His will was opposed by his relatives and questioned by authorities in various countries. It took four years for his executors(执行人) to convince all parties to follow Alfreds wishes.In 1901, the first Nobel Prized in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine and Literature were first awarded in Stockholm, Sweden and the Peace Prize in Kristiania, Norway.40.
