But you may not know that fish cannot explore anywhere in the ocean.Recent studies have found that the deepest a fish can swim is 8,200 meters. It is aboutthree quarters of the depth of the deepest ocean. This is because of a chemical(化学物质) in fish cells (细胞) called trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO, 三甲胺N-氧化物).Most things break down after a certain depth under water. For example, if you take aping-pong ball down because of high water pressure 10 meters underwater, it becomes a tiny piece of plastic.The TMAO chemical warns fish of this danger at 8,200 meters. If fish swim deeper, the TMAO chemical stops working and damages (损害) the fish’s brain cells.Although there is life at the bottom of the ocean, most fish live in the top 1,000 meters.Even the shark, which is often called the “King of the Ocean”, has never swum deeper than 4,000 meters, not even half the depth of the ocean.Deeper down in the darkened ocean, the most dangerous animals are the deep-sea fish.The anglerfish (琵琶鱼) is such one. It lives in waters of about 2,000 meters deep. There is no sunlight. Anglerfish can produce light themselves. It helps them catch food.Below even these fish is the cusk-eel (鼬鱼). These small fish live close to the ocean floor at 8,000 meters, far out of reach of a hungry shark.1. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. Scientists found many new kinds of fish.B.
