Away from Home

Cristobal Martin was born in Granada,Spain,38year ago.”Granada is the most beautiful city in the world,”says Mr.Martin.”Its sun is warm and its air is clear.”Today,Mr Martin works in Germany,where the weather is often cold and rainy.But in Germany,he works in a factory and makes a much better pay.“In Granada, there is very little industry.I was only a farm worker.When the German company came and offered me a job,I took it right away.”Mr.Martin works in a chemical factory.He works from7:00am to4:00pm.From10:00pm to1:00am,he has another job cleaning out the office of a doctor in his neighborhood.

Mr.Martin does speak much German.“I wish had time go to school and learn more.It would be easier to live here.I have sat with the same men at lunch every day for four years,and we never talk to each other.They think of me as a ‘foreigner’.”he says.

After work,Mr Martin rides home on the bicycle he brought with him from Spain.“I live in a small room that I don’t like very much.But I know that a better room is not why I came to Germany.”Mr.Martin hopes that in two years he will have enough money to return home.“I want to open up a small shop,find a wife,and have a satisfactory life for me and my family.”

Mr.Martin lives in a neighborhood with Italians and Spanish people.“We think alike,”he says,“and we don’t mind the noise of the wives and children that the Germans complain about.I am thankful for the jobs Germany has given me.But Germany is not the proper place for me.It is not my home.

Mysteries of the Sea

The sea is the largest unknown part of our world.Much of this vast blanket of water is still to be discovered.

Luckily,no single nation has to learn all about the ocean by itself.The world sea is owned by no one;it surrounds the earth and belongs to us all.Scientists in many different countries are working to explain its mysteries.

Some are studying ways of bringing the ocean’s huge supply of water to the deserts of the world.Others are studying the ways in which sound travels and is affected by water and heat.What happens when sea water touches different elements(元素)is anoher subject of study.These are just a few of the questions which ocean scientists are working on.

One of the most interesting projects in oceanography(海洋学)is the work of mapping the ocean floor.Only a very small part of it has been mapped.This was not important when only surface ships sailed the world’s ocean,but it can mean the difference between life and death to men in ships going underwater.

Long ago there was only one way to find our how deep the ocean was.A seaman would throw a heavy rope over the side of his ship.Then he pulled the rope up after it had reached the bottom.But this was not a very accurate way if measuring.

In the20th century,a better way was found.Sound was used to measure the ocean. An American Navy ship sailed into a narrow area of water to do an experiment.Seaman dropped some equipment that would produce a loud noise when it hit the botton.And a little instrument measured the time it took for the sound to reach the ship.This
