(1)
Scientists today are making greater
effort to study ocean currents
(
洋
流
) . Most
do
it
using
satellites
and
other
high
-tech
equipment.
However
||
，
ocean
expert
Curtis
Ebbesmeyer
does
it
in
a
special
way
—
by
studying
movements
of
random
floating garbage. A scientist with many
years’
experience
||
，
he started this type of
research
in
the
early
1990s
when
he
heard
about
hundreds
of
athletic
shoes
washing
up
on the
shores
of the northwest
coast
of
the
United States.
There
were
so
many
shoes
that
people
were
setting
up
swap
meets
to
try
and
match
left
and
right
shoes to sell or wear.
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 company and
asked
if
they
wanted
the
shoes
back.
As
expected
||
，
< br>
the
company
told
him
that
they
didn
’
t.
Ebbesmeyer
realized
this
could
be
a
great
experiment.
If
he
learned
when and where the
shoes went into the water and tracked where they
landed
||
，
he
could learn a lot about
the patterns of ocean currents.

The Pacific Northwest is one of the
world
’
s 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
lo
t
of
them
and
asked
for
their
help
in
collecting
information
about
where
the
shoes
landed.
In
a
year he collected reliable information
on 1
||
，
600 shoes. With this
data
||
，
he and
a
colleague
were
able
to
test
and improve
a
computer
program designed to
mode
l
ocean
currents||
，
and
publish the findings of their study.
As the result of his
work
||
，
Ebbesmeyer has become known as the
scientist to
call with questions about
any unusual objects found floating in the ocean.
He has
even
started
an
association
of
beach
combers
and
ocean
experts||
，
with
500
subscribers from West Africa to New
Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects
ranging from potatoes to golf
gloves.

Cold
weather
can
be
hard
on
pets
||
，
just
like
it
can
be
hard
on
people.
Sometimes owners forget that their cats
are just as used to the warm shelter
(
住
所
)
as
they
are.
Some
owners
will
leave
their
animals
outside
for
a
long
period
of
time||
，
thinking
that
all
animals
are
used
to
living
outdoors.
This
can
put
their
pets in danger of serious illness.
There are things you can do to keep your animal
warm and safe.
Keep your pets inside as much as you
can when the weather is bad. If you
have to take them
out||
，
stay
outside with them. When
you're cold
enough to go
inside||
，
they probably are too. I you must leave
them outside for a long
time
||
，
make sure they have a
warm
||
，
solid shelter against the
wind
||
，
thick bedding||
，
and plenty of non-frozen water.
If left alone
outside||
，
dogs
and cats can be very smart in their search for
warm
shelter.
They
can
dig
into
snow
banks
or
hide
somewhere.
Watch
them
closely
when
they
are
left
outdoors||
，
and
provide
them
with
shelter
of
good
quality.
Keep
an
eye
on
your
pet's
water.
Sometimes
owners
don't
realize
that
a
water bowl has frozen and their pet
can't get anything to drink. Animals that don't
have clean and unfrozen water may
drin
k dirty water
outside||
，
which
may contain
something unhealthy for
them.
