The undersea world is very beautiful. Now more and more people want to dive(潜水) in deep sea to find the secrets(秘密) there. Diving is a new sport today. It can take you into a wonderful undersea world.
You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are as large as a school bus. Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth.
In the daytime, there is much light. Here under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have bottles of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. However, you can't dive too deep. And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water.
The deep sea isn't an easy place to live in. It is cold, and it is dark, too. The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is. At about 3,000 feet deep under the sea, there is no light at all. It is dark in the sea. Many fishes have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one side.
Besides the cold and darkness, deep sea animals face a third danger—other animals.
Like human beings, sea animals also eat! They must find food to eat. Some of them eat plants. However, some eat meat. This means these sea animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals as food, and they have to try not to become other animals' meal.

The world's largest radio telescope was finished on Sept.25, 2017 in China.
FAST is a five-hundred-meter telescope. It is also called Tian-yan("The Eye of Heaven"), with a dish size of 30 football grounds, deep in the mountains of southwest China's Guizhou Province. The giant dish is built on a bowl-like valley.
The surrounding area has "radio silence" as there are no towns and cities within a 5-kilometer radius(半径范围) and only one county center within 25 kilometers.
FAST is made up of 4,450 panels(面板). The second largest radio telescope is in Russia. The bigger dish will be able to pick up weaker signals(信号).
The radio telescope is like an ear, listening to meaningful radio messages from white noise in the universe. With the help of the telescope,we can receive weaker and more radio messages far away in space. It will help us to search for intelligent life outside of the Galaxy(银河系) and explore the origins(起源) of the universe."Any of its discoveries will lead to a Nobel Prize," said Joseph Taylor, a Noble Prize winner.
The FAST project began in 2011. And the telescope is expected to remain the global leader for the next 10 to 20 years.

A．In China. B．In Russia. C．In America. D．In Japan.
