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.
If you are a typical ocean-goer, your         of being killed by an unprovoked (无缘无故的)attack by a shark are about 1 in 100 million. You are more            to be killed by a pig than a shark and thousands of times more likely to get killed when you drive a car.
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.
Sharks are among the few animals in the world that almost          get cancer and eye cataracts. Understanding why can help us improve human           . Chemicals extracted from shark cartilage have killed cancerous tumors in laboratory animals.

Elsa, the lioness, frequently         when George and I intended to visit her camp, even though it        180 miles from our home in Isiolo. On most          when we made our irregular visit she was waiting for us. By following the spoor(野兽的足迹),we          that she had sometimes walked 50 or 60 miles to meet us.
The same thing        when I took Elsa’s sisters to Nairobi to be flown to the Rotterdam zoo, Elsa’s zoo. Elsa stayed behind with George in Isiolo 180 miles          . He did not know when I was coming back, no person knew. But Elsa knew. On the morning of my          she sat down at the entrance and wouldn’t make any          until I arrived in the evening.
I have known this kind of thought-communication with the animal with whom I’ve lived. When Elsa died, I woke in the night, knowing what had happened, even though I was several miles away. The same thing          later with one of Pippa’s cubs.
I don’t          this sensitivity with my own kind. Feel far more in tune with what is going on when I am in the bush than when I am in London on Nairobi.
