 \nAlvin began making trips in the 1960s.By nowit has helped scientists with more than 4,000underwater dives.It has helped people explorefamous shipwrecks like the Titanic.It has helpedscientists discover plants and animals.  \nAlvin was named after Allyn Vine,who helpeddesign and build the submersible.It is also namedafter a TV cartoon from the 1960s called Alvin andthe Chipmunks.  \nsubmarine:a kind of boat that goes underwater  \nAlvin's interior is so small that only one passenger at a timecan stand up.  \n# What Is It Like to Ride in Alvin?\n\nA big ship carries Alvin out to sea.Then Alvin andits passengers are lowered into the ocean.Alvin is12 feet(3.7 meters)high and 23.3(7.1 meters)feetlong.There is not much room inside.Scientists feelcramped.They do not even wear shoes!Shoes wouldjust get in the way.Passengers also feel cold as theytravel lower,or deeper,in the ocean.The cold oceanwater makes Alvin chilly inside.Passengers bringwarm layers of clothes.  \nAlvin usually takes one or two hours to travelto the ocean floor.Then Alvin can explore for fouror five hours.The voyage back up to the ship takesanother one or two hours.Alvin's missions,or trips,usually take between six and ten hours.  \n# How Does Alvin Work?\n\nScientists can see the bottom of the oceanthrough Alvin's big window.Alvin has several  \ncameras with lights.It needs lights because it is verydark so deep in the ocean.Alvin also has computers,an underwater telephone,and sonar,a piece ofequipment that helps people locate objects underwater.There are many measuring instruments suchas thermometers.  \nAlvin has two long robotic arms.These can reachmore than six feet.They can help collect samplesfrom the ocean,such as a deep sea octopus and a fishcalled a dragon fish.The arms can also hold Alvin'stools.The arms can lift as much as 150 pounds.  \nAlvin also has a large basket that can carry toolsand samples.The basket can carry around 1,000pounds.  \n# Who Is Alvin's Little Buddy?\n\nOne of Alvin's most useful tools is namedJason Junior.Jason Junior is a remote-controlledunderwater robot.It rides on Alvin in its ownspecial place.  \nJason Junior has its own light and cameras.It canexplore smaller spaces where Alvin could not fit.Forexample,scientists can send Jason inside a shipwrecksuch as the Titanic.Scientists inside Alvin use controlsto direct Jason from place to place.  \nJason can take photos and movies and send themback to Alvin.A long cable connects Jason and Alvin.Because of the cable,Jason doesn't get lost.  \nrobot:a machine with moving parts controlled by computer  \ncable:a strong rope or wires wrapped together  \n# What Adventures Has Alvin Had?\n\nAlvin had quite an interesting year in 1967.  \nDuring a dive in July,a swordfish attacked Alvin.Theswordfish's\"sword\"got stuck in Alvin.  \nLater that summer,Alvin was exploring underwatercanyons off the shores of New England.Scientistsspotted a wreck under the water.The wreck turned  \nout to be a United StatesNavy airplane that hadcrashed into the oceanin 1944.Luckily,the  \nairplane's pilot had safelyescaped the wreck.  \nIn 1977,Alvin exploredan area of hot springsdeep under the ocean'ssurface.The scientists onAlvin were amazed todiscover strange creaturesthere.They saw thingssuch as giant tube worms,huge clams,and spidercrabs.Before this trip,they did not know theseanimals lived there.  \nswordfish:a large ocean fish with a bone that looks like asword sticking out from its jaw  \ncanyons:deep narrow valleys  \nNavy:the nation's group of ships and s","cbCaie3JvZ4DpSgQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie3JvZ4DpSgQ","pdf",2898997,"English","# How Do Scientists Explore the Oceans?\n## What Is It Like to Ride in Alvin?\n## How Does Alvin Work?\n## Who Is Alvin's Little Buddy?\n## What Adventures Has Alvin Had?\n## How Did Alvin Get Lost?\n## What Is Happening to Alvin Today?\n# Talk About It\n## Extend Language","[{\"question\":\"How does Alvin help scientists explore the ocean?\",\"answer\":\"Alvin carries scientists deep underwater so they can observe the seafloor and collect samples.
