37、 home to visit, you could show them the way. You knowthe landmarksa big red house or a bus-stop sign. But what if you were swimming in themiddle of the Atlantic Ocean? Could you still find your way home? A loggerhead turtle（海龟）could.According to Dr. Ken Lohmann, loggerheads have a magnetic（磁力的）sense
38、 basedon Earths magnetic field. It helps them locate the best spots for finding food and theirhome beaches.Scientists already know that several other animals, such as whales and honeybees, candetect（探测到）magnetic fields. The difference between them and loggerheads, however,is the way they learn to us
39、e their magnetic sense. Young whales and honeybees can learnfrom adults. Loggerheads are abandoned as eggs.As newborn loggerheads have no adults to learn from, what helps them figure outhow to use their magnetic sense? Lohmann thinks one of the cues was light on the sea.Baby loggerheads hatch only a
40、t night. However, a small amount of light reflects offthe ocean. The light makes that region brighter. Heading toward the light helps them getquickly out to sea, where they can find food. Lohmann tested whether newborn英语（天津卷）笔试 第 7 页（共 12 页）loggerheads use this light source to set their magnetic “co
41、mpasses”（罗盘）. He and histeam put some newborns in a water tank and recorded which way they swam. Around thetank, the scientists created a magnetic field that matched the Earths. They set a weak lightto the east of the magnetic field. Then they let the newborns go.At first, the newborns swam toward t
42、he light. After the scientists turned off the light,the turtles that had seen the light in the east always swam toward east. When theresearchers reversed（颠倒）the magnetic field, these turtles turned around and swamtoward the new “east”.This and the follow-up experiments all showed that loggerheads us
43、e light from theoutside world to set their magnetic “compasses” and then remember the “correct” direction.If a turtle hatches on a brightly-lit beach, that would damage its magnetic sense forever andmake survival hard for the turtle.Lohmanns work has led others to protect the habitat of this endange
