Ships
are often sunk in order to create underwater reefs
（暗礁）
perfect for
scuba diving
（
水肺式潜泳）
and preserving marine __26__. Turkish
authorities have
just sunk something a
little different than a ship, and it wouldn't
normally ever touch
water, an Airbus
A300. The hollowed-out A300 was __27__ of
everything potentially
harmful to the
environment and sunk off the Aegean coast today.
Not only will the
sunken plane __28__
the perfect skeleton for artificial reef growth,
but authorities
hope this new
underwater attraction will bring tourists to the
area.
The plane __29__ a
total length of 54 meters, where experienced scuba
divers
will
__30__
be
able
to
venture
through
the
cabin
and
around
the
plane's
__31__
Aydin Municipality bought the plane
from a private company for just under US $$ 100,
000,
but
they
hope
to
see
a
return
on
that
__32__
through
the
tourism
industry.
Tourism throughout Turkey is expected
to fall this year as the country has been the
__33__
of
several
deadly
terrorist
attacks.
As
far
as
sunken
planes
go,
this
Airbus
A300 is the largest __34__ sunk
aircraft ever.
Taking
a
trip
underwater
and
__35__
the
inside
of
a
sunken
A300
would
be
quite
an
adventure,
and
that
is
exactly
what
Turkish
authorities
are
hoping
this
attraction
will
make
people
think.
Drawing
in
adventure
seekers
and
experienced
divers, this new artificial Airbus reef
will be a scuba diver's paradise

Just
because they can't sing opera or ride a bicycle
doesn't mean that animals
don't have
culture. There's no better example of this than
killer whales. As one of the
most
__26__
predators
（食肉动物）
,
killer
whales
may
not
fit
the
__27__
of
a
cultured
creature. However, these beasts of the sea do
display a vast range of highly
__28__
behaviors that appear to be driving their genetic
development.
The
word
comes
from
the
Latin
which
__29__
means
cultivate.<
/p>
instinctive or natural. Among human
populations, culture not only affects the way we
live, but also writes itself into our
genes, affecting who we are. For instance, having
spent many generations hunting the fat
marine mammals of the Arctic, the Eskimos
of
Greenland
have
developed
certain
genetic
__31__
that
help
them
digest
and
utilize this fat- rich diet, thereby
allowing them to __32__ in their cold
climate.
|
Like humans, killer whales have
colonized a range of different __33__ across the
globe, occupying every ocean basin on
the planet with an empire that __34__ from
pole
to
pole.
As
such,
different
populations
of
killer
whales
have
had
to
learn
different
hunting
techniques
in
order
to
gain
the
upper
hand
over
their
local
prey
（猎物）
. This, in turn, has a
major effect on their diet, leading scientists to
__35__
that
the
ability
to
learn
population-specific
hunting
methods
could
be
driving
the
animals, genetic
development.

The
center
of
American
automobile
innovation
has
in
the
past
decade
moved
2,000
miles
away.
It
has
__26__
from
Detroit
to
Silicon
Valley,
where
self-driving
vehicles are coming to life.
^
In
a
__27__
to
take
production
back
to
Detroit,
Michigan
lawmakers
have
introduced __28__ that
could make their state the best place in the
country, if not
the world, to develop
self-driving vehicles and put them on the
road.
__29__
in
auto
research
and
development
is
under
attack
from
several states and
countries which desire to __30__ our leadership in
transportation.
We
can't
let that happen,
says
Senator
Mike
Kowall,
the
lead
__31__ of four
bills
recently introduced.
If
all
four
bills
pass
as
written,
they
would
__32__
a
substantial
update
of
Michigan's
2013
law
that
allowed
the
testing
of
self-
driving
vehicles
in
limited
conditions.
Manufacturers would have nearly total freedom to
test their self-driving
technology
on
public
roads.
They would
be allowed
to
send
groups
of self-
driving
cars on cross-state road trips, and
even set up on-demand __33__ of self-driving cars,
like the one General Motors and Lyft
are building.
Lawmakers in
Michigan clearly want to make the state ready for
the commercial
application of self-
driving technology. In __34__ , California, home
of Silicon Valley,
recently proposed
far more __35__ rules that would require human
drivers be ready
to take the wheel, and
ban commercial use of self-driving
technology.
