Sharks have lived in the oceans for over 450 million years, long before dinosaurs appeared. There are now about 360 of sharks, whose size, behavior, and other characteristics differ widely.
Every year, we catch and kill over 100 million sharks, for food and for their fins. Dried shark fins are used to make shark fin soup, which sells for as much as $50 a bowl in fine Hong Kong . Other sharks are killed for sport and out of fear. Sharks are vulnerable(脆弱的) to overfishing because it most species 10 to 15 years to begin reproducing and they produce only a few offspring.
by movies and popular novels, most people see sharks as people-eating monsters. This is far from the . Every year, a few types of shark injure about 100 people worldwide and kill about 25. Most are by great white sharks, which often feed on sea lions and other marine mammals. They sometimes mistake human swimmers for their normal prey, if they are wearing black wet suits.

Sharks help human lives. In addition to providing people with food, they are helping us learn how to cancer, bacteria, and viruses. Sharks are very healthy and have aging processes similar to ours. Their highly effective immune system wounds to heal quickly without becoming infected, and their blood is being studied in connection with AIDS research.

Reuse means “use again”. Use things for possible. When we buy things, make sure that they a long time. We should take care of them they will last, and we should them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag.

It is interesting how NASA(美国航天航空局) chose their astronauts for landing them on the moon. They chose men 36 the ages of twenty and thirty-five. There were about fifty of them. Some were 37 air pilots, and 38 were scientists with two or three degrees. NASA telephoned each man they were going to choose, told him the plans and the 39 they might get into. They then asked him if he was willing to be trained as an astronaut, “How could any man 40 such an exciting job?” One of them said, “Dangerous? Of course. It’s dangerous 41 most exciting.”
The health and physical condition of the people was, 42 , very necessary. Only those in very good health and physical condition were 43 .
While being trained to be astronauts, they went through many 44 . They studied the star and the moon, and they also studied geology, the science of rocks. This was necessary 45 astronauts would have to look for rocks on the moon. They would try to find rocks which might help to tell the 46 of the moon. They were all 47 to fly in helicopters. There helicopters landed straight down to give them some 48 of the way the spaceship would actually land on the 49 . They were also taught the known facts about the 50 in space. They learnt about all the scientists and engineers who 51 spaceships. They visited the 52 where spaceships were repaired. They learnt how every 53 of a spaceship and its instruments work. They also learnt every detail of ground-control 54 .
In a word, to be chosen as astronaut, one must be in good 55 , well-informed in science and good at piloting.

We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different times of day. This is so 1 that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one 2 understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process is not as 3 as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant 4 . We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they 5 do. As a matter of fact, they 6 to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious(神秘的) way of knowing the 7 . Their sense of time does not 8 information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”.
This 9 may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also 10 , including man, have this “inner clock” which 11 the working of their bodies and influences their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious 12 . Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.
In the past, this did not really 13 because people lived in natural condition. In the 14 world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very 15 , then, to know more about the “inner clock”. Such things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.

Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know whether you think you are a 36 person or a coward (懦夫). But you will never really know the answer to this question 37 you are tested in real life. Some people think they are brave, but when they come face to face with real 38 , they act like cowards.

He 40 very calm and did a very dangerous thing. He jumped into the Potomac, 41 to the woman, and kept her head 42 the water. Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny, it was not 43 .

With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are 44 to fight or run away. However, when you are terrified greatly, the body can produce too much adrenalin. 45 this happens, the muscles become very hard. You are then paralyzed (麻木) with fear. This is why when we are extremely frightened, we sometimes say we are “petrified”. This word 46 a Greek word “petros”, which means “stone”. We are 47 frightened that we become stonelike.
