The ocean is home to tens of thousands of fish. You can see fish swimming freely in the water. But you may not know that fish cannot explore every part of the ocean.
Recent studies have found that the deepest depth(深度)a fish can swim is 8,200 meters.(1) This is because of a chemical(化学物质)in fishes' cells(细胞)that is called Trimethylamine N﹣oxide(TMAO).
For example,if you take a ping﹣pong bal 10 meters underwater,the pressure turns it into a tiny piece of plastic.(2) TMAO warns fish of this danger at about 8,200 meters. If fish swim deeper,the TMAO chemical stops working and starts to damage(破坏)the fishes' brain cells.

Depending on yourself
Growing up is not always easy. When we face difficulties, a spirit of depending on yourself is more useful than crying for help. That's what Hong Zhanhui's story of growing from boy to man with family hardship tells us.
Hong was born in 1982in a poor family in Xihua County (县), Henan Province. When he was only 11, his father became badly ill and one day he came back with an unwanted baby girl. A year later, Hong's mother left home. She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick husband. So everything hard fell onto the young boy's shoulders: to take care of his father and the sister Chenchen, and to go on to study.
Although his life was hard, Hong didn't go away from his father and sister. He worked in part﹣time jobs to feed his family. He climbed tall trees to get birds' eggs for his sister. He walked two hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school. A few years later, he studied at a college. To take care of Chenchen, he worked hard to rent (租) a room near his college for her, and sent her to school.
After Hong's story went public, he became a hero in people's eyes. But Hong refused offers from others. He said he felt encouraged by kind offers, but he could depend on his own work.
Through his hard life, he has grown up from boy to man.
