24、A 19-meter sperm whale (抹香鲸) was saved from the beaches of Xiangshan county in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, on April 20 after becoming beached (搁浅的) during low tide (潮汐). This is one of hundreds of whales washed up on beaches around the world every year. Why do whales become stranded?

Sickness and injury

“Quite often animals that turn up on a beach are getting tired and exhausted. They’re malnourished (营养不良的) and unhealthy, or they haven’t eaten because they’re ill,”   Simon Ingram, a professor at the University of Plymouth in the UK, told the BBC. “They can be in the final stages of being ill or die at sea and end up getting washed up on a beach.”

“Yet sickness or injury mainly plays a part when a single animal is found stranded,” Ingram added.

Group effect

Whales are sociable animals. They travel together in groups, often following a leader and are known to gather around injured or painful whales. When one member of the group is sick or in trouble, its painful calls can cause the other members to follow it to the beach, Kris Carlyon, an Australian marine (海洋的) scientist, told Reuters. This may explain group strandings, as whales in pain could change the direction of other whales that then become lost and confused.

Depth

Whales’ echolocation (回声定位) ability is designed for deep water. Some areas near the coast are not deep enough for whales to navigate. If animals don’t notice that they’re moving into shallower waters, it can cause trouble when the tide turns. “The water simply drops away,” Daren Grover, the general manager of an environmental organization in New Zealand, told National Geographic. “They’re left high and dry.”

Other human activities

Fishing, pollution, ship strikes and more are responsible for many of the injuries that lead to strandings. Overfishing also causes the lack of whales’ main sources of food. This leads them to take risks to look for food in coastal or tidal waters.

If you see a beached whale, do not try to move it, as this may harm the animal. While waiting for help, keep the animal upright, wet. Avoid getting water in its blowhole (喷气孔), and cover it to prevent sunburn.

25、Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏). Finally, there was only one family between the ticket counter and us. This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night.

The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as they could be. When the ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted, he proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adults tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”

The ticket lady told him the price. The man’s wife lowered her head. The father`s lip began to quiver and he leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say?”  The ticket lady again quoted(报价) the price. The man didn`t have enough money.

How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didn`t have enough money to take them to the circus? Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said ,“Excuse me, sir. This fell out of your pocket.”

The man knew what was going on. He wasn`t begging for a handout but certainly appreciated(感激) the help in a heartbreaking and embarrassing situation. He looked straight into my dad`s eyes, took my dad`s hand in both of his, holding the $20 bill, and with a tear running down his cheek, he replied, “Thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family .”

My father and I went back to our car and drove home. We didn`t go to the circus that night, but we didn`t go without.
