5.One part of the world is still largely unexplored.It is the deep sea.Over the years,many people have explored under the sea.But the first deep-sea divers(潜水员) wanted to find sunken treasure.They weren't really interested in studying the creatures of life there.Only recently have they begun to learn some of the mysteries of the sea.It's not easy to explore the deep sea.A diver must have a way of breathing underwater.He mus be able to protect himself from great pressure.The pressure of air is about 15 pounds or every square inch.But the pressure of water ii about 1,300 pounds on every square inch!
The first diving suits were made rubber.They had a metal helmet(头盔) with windows in it.The shoes were made of lead and weighed twenty pounds each!These suits let divers go down a few hundred feet,but they were no good for exploring the very deep waters.With a metal diving suit,a diver could go down 700 feet.Metal suits were first used in the 1930s.
In 1927,a diver named William Beebe wanted to explore deeper than anyone had ever gone before.He was not interested in finding treasure.He wanted to study the creatures and plants of the sea.His friend invented a metal ball called the Bathysphere.It weighed more than 5,000 pounds,but in it Beebe went down 3,028 feet.He saw many things that had never been seen by humans before.
