    The Native American tribes (部落) are famed for their impressive totem poles (图腾柱), each of which is carefully carved and painted. Some may tell a tale about a tribe or a family.1.Constructing totem poles falls on the shoulder of skilled workmen. They spend hours selecting the right tree, cutting it down and carving it, and finally painting it with the proper colors before building it outdoors.

2.The people who desire to make one decide on the design they want. Based on their demands, the workman then selects the best tree. Cedar (雪松) trees are the most commonly used to make totem poles. They are tall and have large diameters (直径), but fewer branches than other trees.3.These characteristics combine to make cedar trees ideal for carving into large, wide totem poles. An additional benefit is that they are so durable that some totem poles are still standing more than a century after being carved and raised.

Once the selected tree has been cut down and had its branches removed, it must be carried to the workman’s workshop.4.The planned design is then carved into the tree trunk.

A typical totem pole is designed in three sections: the bottom, middle, and top. Following the completion of the design stage, the workman carves the designs by starting at the bottom.5.Many totem poles have unusual parts such as the wings of birds attached to their tops, so it is the final part to be done. After the carving is finished, the totem pole is painted. Finally, the person who required it raise it during a special ceremony.

A.And they have softwood.

B.Every totem pole begins with a plan.

C.The top section often requires extra labor.

D.They serve many purposes beyond their beauty.

E.Others may describe the deeds of a person or people.

F.Totem poles can be got from the largest online selection at e-Bay.com.

G.The workman and his assistants then remove the bark and smooth the large trunk..

    When humans make friends, we often choose companions who share similar characteristics to us or enjoy participating in the same activities that we enjoy. Interestingly, it turns out that dolphins (海豚) may not be so different, according to a study which found that the animals form strong social ties with those who have similar interests. In some ways, this may not be surprising, if we know dolphins live in groups characterized by complex social activities. However, the latest findings are yet another powerful example of the intelligence that these creatures possess.

For the study, an international team of scientists studied a unique group of bottlenose dolphins, who live in the World Heritage area of Shark Bay, Western Australia. They are particularly interesting because the females are known to use sea sponges (海绵动物) as foraging (觅食) tools, a behavior that hasn’t been perceived anywhere else. The behavior known as “sponging,” helps the dolphins to find food in deeper waters and is socially-learned, being passed down from mother to baby.

Previous studies have shown that females in this group who use sea sponges to find food often like to hang out with other females who do the same. However, studies of this behavior in males are lacking, leaving a gap (空白) in our knowledge. To try and address this gap, the researchers collected data on 124 male dolphins in Shark Bay over a 9-year period between 2007 and 2015. Among these dolphins, some had the sponging behavior, while others did not. After analyzing their data, the team came to the conclusion that those males who used sponges for foraging associated significantly more often with other “spongers,” no matter how related they were to their companions. Interestingly, male spongers spent significantly more time foraging and less time resting than non-spongers.

According to the lead author of the study, Manuela Bizzozzero, the findings cast new light on the social ties between male dolphins at Shark Bay.
