It was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an
English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna
in eastern Libya, heard a loud noise that sounded like an
explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna
had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the
next four days, they had no power or Internet, and it was only

recently that they started to fully understand the damage
caused by the flood.
“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mum's relatives,
my friends, my co-workers—they are all gone. Now we, the
survivors, are just ghosts in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose
sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.
Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna.
Libya's Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people
have died, while the city's mayor believes the number of deaths
could be as high as 20,000.

Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi
Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the
river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in
on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin
Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling”
(令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate
change.
Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they
face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power,

water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that
the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and
there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and
thousands of people who lost everything—these people now
need comfort; they need company; they need psychological
support.”

Dolphins love to play around, doing things like surfing,
playing with stuff, and running after each other. However, have
you ever been to a wildlife park and seen dolphins opening
their mouths wide? Researchers uncovered that dolphins use the
“open mouth” facial expression to show their cheerfulness,
instead of attack.
Other animals use their faces to show they want to play,
but it wasn't known if sea creatures do the same thing.

This led the team to carry out this study. They recorded videos
of 22 dolphins that lived at two wildlife parks. The dolphins
were recorded when they were playing in pairs, playing with
their human trainers and playing on their own.
During the 80 hours of video footage, the scientists
counted 1,288 times when the dolphins used the “smile”
expression. The team said 92% of those happened when
dolphins were playing with each other. They seldom used the
expression when they were playing on their own or with

humans. Nearly 90% of the expressions happened when a
dolphin could see their playmate's face. If other dolphins
spotted their “smile”, they returned the expression around a
third of the time. Elisabetta Palagi, a biologist, said that the
relaxed open mouth “is a universal sign of playfulness, helping
animals and us signal fun and avoid misunderstanding”.
The research focused on dolphins in parks. Those living in
the wild could behave differently when playing. It's possible that
while playing in more open spaces, dolphins might prefer to

communicate using sounds instead of facial expressions. “Future
research should study eye-tracking to explore how dolphins see
their world and take advantage of acoustic signals (声学信号) in
their communication during play,” added Livio Favaro, a co-
author and zoologist, in the press.
This research throws light on the unique communication
skills used by these intelligent sea creatures as well as the
importance of facial expressions to set the right intentions (意图).
