The undersea world is very beautiful． Now more and more people want to dive in the water to find the secrets there． Scuba diving is a new sport today． It can take you into a wonder-ful 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．During the day， there is enough 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 is not an easy place to live in． It-s cold， and it，s dark， too． The deeper it is， the less sunlight there is． At about 3，000 feet， there is no light at all． It is very dark in the sea． Many fishes have no eyes． Some have big eyes． A few have eyes on one side． Besides the cold and the darkness， deep-sea animals face a third danger-other animals．

Animals eat! They must find food to eat． Many animals eat plants． However， some am-mals 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．

Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well. Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “push back”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?” Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.
