If you were bringing friends home to visit, you could show them the way. You know the landmarks—a big red house or a bus-stop sign. But what if you were swimming in the middle 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 based on Earth’s magnetic field. It helps them locate the best spots for finding food and their home beaches.

Scientists already know that several other animals, such as whales and honeybees, can detect (探测到) magnetic fields. The difference between them and loggerheads, however, is the way they learn to use their magnetic sense. Young whales, honeybees can learn from adults. Loggerheads are abandoned as eggs.

As newborn loggerheads have no adults to learn from, what helps them figure out how to use their magnetic sense? Lohmann thinks one of the cues was light on the sea.

Baby loggerheads hatch only at night. However, a small amount of light reflects off the ocean. The light makes that region brighter. Heading toward the light helps loggerheads get quickly out to sea, where they can find food. Lohmann tested whether newborn loggerheads use this light source to set their magnetic “compasses” (罗盘). He and his team put some newborns in a water tank and recorded which way they swim. Around the tank, the scientists created magnetic field that matched the Earth’s. They set a weak light to the east of the magnetic field. Then they let the newborns go.

At first, the newborns swam toward the light. After scientists turned off the light, the turtles that had seen the light in the east always swam toward east. When the researchers reversed (颠倒) the magnetic field, these turtles turned around and swam toward the new “east”.

This and the follow-up experiments all showed that loggerheads use light from the outside 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 and make survival hard for the turtle.

Lohmann’s work has led others to protect the habitat of this endangered species. Yet many questions about these ocean creatures remain unanswered, and researchers have a lot to study.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Taking on a part-time job while pursuing a degree is hard work, but there are great benefits from that. Students with part-time jobs can earn their own money, develop good time-management skills, and gain experience in the workplace.

36 As they come into adulthood, earning an income can increase their confidence. Some students need to work through school to afford tuition. 37 Still, the money will be theirs to spend as they wish, and they may appreciate it more because they worked for it.

Students taking on a job on top of their studies will have less free time than non-working students. 38 They learn to skip fun activities to finish their responsibilities. This prepares them for life after school when they can’t find excuses for work that’s not finished in time,

Often, students take jobs that introduce them to their preferred career after school is over. 39 Even students who work in places not connected to their majors will look more impressive to potential employers. Employers look for employees who understand the work environment and work well as part of a team. 40 That will make it much easier for them to change their roles after leaving school. A. Others will set the money aside to pay back student loans. B. Other students may have to get help from their parents. C. Students having part-time jobs usually get employed easily after graduation. D. Having a part-time job helps students to get accustomed to the professional world. E. They tend to be better planners as they make sure they complete every task on deadline. F. Students who take part-time jobs will have more money than they would have otherwise. G. This allows them to gain experience in the business and begin meeting people in that field.
