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.

Everything is made of something.Nothing is made of nothing.
Chemistry is about the smallest things that other bigger things are made of，and what happens when theychange.The word chemistry comes from chemical，which is an example of one type of the very small things that other bigger things are made of.The words you are reading now are made of a dark liquid called ink （墨水），which is written on paper.The paper itself is made out of the chemicals that wood is made out of.Both the ink and the paper were made by different chemical processes.A chemical process is what happens when chemicals come together to make other chemicals，and therefore other things.
Cooking makes chemical changes.Your different ingredients are made of different chemicals，and when you put them together and make them hot and cook them，the chemicals change into new chemicals and the different ingredients make something new.That tomato sauce you're making is made of tomatoes，onions，garlic，salt and pepper.Those ingredients each have their own chemicals and their own flavors，but now with your sauce you've made something different，something that has its own flavor，all the ingredients mixed together，all the chemicals mixed together，something new.
You can smell the chemical changes，too，as they go up into your nose，especially when you forget about your sauce and it doesn't just cook but bums and becomes black and has a really bad flavor.You can't make it better，either，because once chemicals change，they can't be changed back again.
