Ambient divers, unlike divers who go underwater in submersible vehicles or
pressure resistant suits, are exposed to the
pressure and temperature of the surrounding (ambient) water. Of all types of diving, the oldest and simplest is
free diving. .Free divers may use no
equipment at all, but most use a face mask, foot fins, and a snorkel. Under the
surface, free divers must hold their breath. Most free divers can only descend 30 to 40 feet , but some
skilled divers can go as deep as 100 feet .
SCUBA diving provides greater
range than free diving. The word SCUBA stands for Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. SCUBA divers Swear metal tanks with compressed air or other breathing gases. When
using, open-circuit
equipment, a SCUBA diver simply breathes air from the tank I through a hose and releases the exhaled air into the water. A
closed-circuit breathing device, also called a rebreather, filters out carbon
dioxide and other harmful gases and automatically
adds oxygen. This enables the diver to breathe the same air over and over.
In surface-supplied diving, divers wear helmets and
waterproof canvas suits. Today,
sophisticated plastic helmets have replaced the heavy copper helmets used in the past. These divers get their air from a hose connected to compressors on
a boat.
Surface-supplied divers can go deeper than any other type of ambient diver.

Text
There are certain people who
always like to take their vacations in the same place. They return from a vacation and ask themselves, "When can I
go back there again?" There are other people who like to go many places.
They like to do many different things on their
vacations. When they return from a vacation, they ask themselves, "Where can I go next?"
My parents are perfect examples of the first kind of
people. They always like to go to the lake
in the mountains where they went on their honeymoon. They bought a vacation cabin there several years after
they were married. They have gone there two or three times a year for
over twenty-five years. My parents have made friends
with the people who also own cabins there. They enjoy getting together with
them. Both my parents enjoy sailing and swimming and my father likes to go fishing! My parents enjoy variety, but they
say they can get variety by going to their
cabin at different times of the year. They particularly like to go there in the
autumn when the leaves are beautiful.
I am an example of a person who
likes to go to different places for her vacation. When
I was a child, I went to my parents' cabin, but when I got older, I wanted to
travel to many different places. I spent a lot of time and money learning how to ski, so I wanted to travel to places where I could
ski, such as Switzerland Egypt
because I want to see the pyramids and to Rome
Although I enjoy going to familiar places, I find
that going to strange places is more
exciting. The world is so huge and exciting that I don't want to go to the same
place twice. Still, I understand my parents' point of view. They believe that you can never get to know a place too well.

Text
The process of domesticating
animals started long ago. The first animal to be domesticated was the dog. No
one knows when or where the dog was first domesticated.
It's believed, however, that the process took place more than 10,000 years ago. The remains of what is thought to be an early example
of a domesticated dog were found in a cave in Idaho
All of the dogs you see today, from Chihuahuas
Dogs apparently first served as
guards! With their keen sense of smell and hearing, dogs made it almost impossible for strangers to approach a
sleeping village by surprise. And later, humans
took advantage of dogs' hunting instincts. Dogs learned to help humans procure meat and skins from wild animals. Then,
after humans domesticated herd animals such as goats,
cattle, and sheep, dogs helped round these herd
animals up and move them from place to place by barking and nipping at their heels. Take a look at this fresco from the wall of a
sandstone grotto in the Sahara .
It's probably about 5,000 years old. The herders are driving their oxen home from the field, while their "best friend" is
apparently helping them.
Of course, after that, at some
unknown time, dogs began to take on a new role, the role
that most of them have today. They began to be valued not so much for the work they did as for the company they
provided.
