21、t goldfish have a three-second memory（记忆力）. In fact, goldfish have very good memories for fish. They can be trained to react in many ways to certain colors of light and different kinds of music. Researchers have successfully taught goldfish to play fetch, push levers（控制杆）,and even play football.Arou
22、nd a certain person the goldfish are very familiar with, they will often be much more active and even sometimes stop considering the person any kind of danger,even if that person sticks their hand in the water and tries to touch them. Around strangers, on the other hand, the goldfish will often hide
23、. Blind goldfish also show this same type of behavior, except they react to the voice of their owner, similarly to how the non-blind goldfish react to the sight of their owner.In one experiment,researchers even got the goldfish to learn that if they pushed a certain lever at a certain time of day, t
24、hey would get food. If the lever was pushed any other time of day, nothing would happen. In very short order, these goldfish learned to only push the lever during the time of day it would produce food; the rest of the time, they took no notice of it.In another experiment, researchers trained young g
25、oldfish to connect a certain sound with feeding time. They then released（放走）them into the sea. About half a year later, when the fish were fully grown, the researchers played the sound over a loudspeaker and the fish swam from wherever they were in the sea, back to where they were released. This has
26、 been suggested as a method to cut down the cost of raising fish. Teach them to come when they are young and then release them into the sea and lakes to grow to adulthood naturally. Its better for the environment and less cruel（残忍的）to the fish（relatively speaking）.28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly te
