Most people are afraid of sharks，but they usually do not know very much about them．For example，there are 350 types of sharks，and all of them are meat eaters．Some sharks are very big．
The whale shark is 50 to 60 feet long．But some sharks are very small．The dwarf（侏儒）shark is only 6 inches（英寸）long．Sharks are 100 million years old．In fact，they lived at the same time as dinosaurs．Today，sharks live in every ocean on the earth，but most sharks live in warm water．They keep the oceans clean because they eat sick fish and animals．Most sharks have four to six rows of teeth．When a shark's tooth falls out，another tooth moves in from behind．Sharks do not have ears．
However，they "hear" sounds and movements in the water． Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate． This helps sharks find food． Sharks use their large eyes to find food，too． Most sharks see best in low light． They often hunt for food at dawn（黄昏），in the evening，or in the middle of the night． Scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons． For example，cancer（癌症）is common in many animals，including people． However，it is rare（罕见的）in sharks． Scientists want to find out why sharks almost never get cancer． Maybe this information can help people prevent cancer，too．

Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it.We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.

There are two main kinds of sports. These two kinds of sports are team sports and individual (个人的) sports. Team sports are such sports as baseball, basketball, and volleyball. Team sports need two separate (独立的) teams. The teams play against each other. They compete against each other to get the best score. For example, in a football game, if team A gets 8 points and team B gets 4 points, team A wins the game. Team sports are sometimes called competitive (竞争性的) sports.
Another kind of sports is individual sports. In individual sports there are no teams. There isn’t any competition. People play individual sports in order to get some exercise, not to win a game. Individual sports are such sports as swimming, skiing, and running.
