31、ng spaceCScientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流) . Most do it using satellites and other high-technology equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way-by studying movements of floating waste. A scientist with many years experience, he sta
32、rted this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of sports shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes-about 60,000 in total-fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe
33、company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didnt. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and followed until discovering where they landed, he could learn a lot about the ocean
34、currents.The Pacific Northwest is one of the worlds best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the s

40、n some ways that the daughter is fathers lover. But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time my father has been a very vague figure（模糊形象）to me. He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else. When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and
41、 he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I considered my father as a cold-blooded
42、man who did not care about me at all. But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up. “Dont come. I will be
43、very nervous if I see you. ”I told him. I remember my speech went smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave, I suddenly noticed a familiar looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father！I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears running down my face. “Well
44、 done,” he said. His eyes were also filled with tears. Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didnt want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech. F
45、or much of my life I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was obviously not true. At my graduation ceremony, I could feel my fathers deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we
46、 dont perceive the world with our hearts and minds. Theres no doubt that life doesnt lack（缺少）love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it.41. What was his fathers figure to the writer at first? A. A man full of words and warm hearted.B. A man of few words and nothing special. C. A tall and strong man who is wise and hardworking. D.
