On a hot day，many people like to go to the beach.Some beaches，however，are not safe for swimming.
At some beaches，there are sharks in the water.So people put out shark nets.They help stop too many sharks from getting close to the beach.Sharks can still swim under or around the net.But if they try to swim through，they will get caught.Sharks can die if they are not cut free.
Shark nets don't just catch sharks.They can catch other animals，too.They have caught dolphins，stingrays and turtles.Even a whale has been caught in a shark net.I took many people to get it free.
Some animals are not so lucky.They are killed in the nets.One day，a whale was swimming with her calf.The calf got caught in a shark net.The mother whale tried to get the calf to come with her.The calf was caught in the net.It couldn't get free.The mother had to watch it die.
Many people think shark nets should not be used.Sharks are important to the ocean.They eat sick and dead fish.They help to keep the ocean clean.Sharks are the lions and the tigers of the sea.
Some people think there are other ways to keep beach safe for people.Sharks potters are people who watch for sharks.They go to a high place.Then they can look down on the beach.If they see a shark，a siren（汽笛）will sound.They put up a white flag.Then people get out of the water.
After all，the water is a shark's home.

Once an Englishman named Jack Brown went to Russia for a holiday. He stayed there for several months and then came home again. Some of his friends visited him a few days after he got back. “I had a very dangerous trip while I was in Russia,” Jack said to them. “I wanted to see a friend of mine in the country and the bad weather made me very late. So I was still traveling through a forest in a sleigh(雪橇) when the sun went down. It was a long way from my friend’s house when about twenty wolves began to follow my sleigh. It was very dark in the forest. There was thick snow on the ground. It was cold, and there were no houses for miles and miles. First I heard the wolves. The noise was terrible! The horses heard them, too. They were frightened and began running faster. Then I saw long, gray forms among the trees, and soon the wolves were near us. They were running very fast, and they didn’t seem to get tired like the horses.”
“What did you do?” one of Jack’s friends asked.
“When the wolves got very near,” Jack answered, “I put up my gun and shot the first wolf. The sleigh was moving about, but I hit the animal and killed it. Then all the other wolves stopped and ate it, so our sleigh got away from them for a few minutes.”
“Then they finished their meal, and I heard them coming again. The moon was shining brightly on the snow now, and after a few minutes I saw them running among the trees once more. They came nearer again, and then I shot another of them, and the others stopped once more to eat it.”
“The same thing happened again and again, and my horses became more and more tired and ran slower and slower until, after about two hours, only one wolf was still alive and following us.”
“Wasn’t it too fat to run?” one of his friends asked. Jack told his friends what happened to him when he was _________.
| A．in England one winter evening |
