Should we be afraid of sharks? Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks Should we be afraid of sharks? Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks (攻击) suggests that sharks don’t like the way humans taste! In fact, most people who are attacked by the shark didn’t die after receiving only one bite (咬). Why is this?
There are many opinions to explain why sharks sometimes attack people. One opinion is that sharks are just curious (好奇的). We know that sharks are the strongest animals in their environment, so they are not afraid of anything. Naturally, that means they are curious when they meet something unusual. Because they don’t have hands or feet, the only way they can find out an object is to bite it! It is thought that sharks sometimes bite humans for this reason, and then swim away.
Scientists also say that sharks would not waste energy trying to eat a human, as we have a lot of bones . It is hard for a shark to eat us because sharks don’t have hands, and they can’t pull the meat off our bones. Maybe that’s why they only bite us once. Unluckily, one bite from a large shark is serious enough to hurt people greatly!
Another opinion is that sharks attack humans by mistake. Some sharks may sometimes mistake humans for a seal. An example of this is when a shark attack attacks a surfer. A surfer lying on a surfboard looks like a seal when seen from below. Sharks like seals because they have thick fat.
Whatever the reason for shark attacks on humans, sharks should be afraid of us. Sadly, we kill almost 40 million of them each year.What happens to most people attacked by sharks?
| A．Most of them became blind． | B．Most of them became deaf. |
| C．Most of them died． | D．Most of them are still alive． |
According to the passage，sharks find out about an unusual object

| C．by touching | D．by killing |
The undertined word “bones” means in Chinese.
| A．骨头 | B．毛发 | C．脏器 | D．血管 |
From the passage we know ．
| A． sharks might mistake humans for seals |
| B．sharks pull meat off bones when they eat |
| C． sharks like to attck surfers because oftheir thick fat |
| D．one bite from a shark is nothing serious |
The main topic ofthe passage is that .
| A．surfers should stay away from sharks |
| B．people must stop killing sharks |
| C．the reasons for shark attacks on people |

Thoughts on Shenzhen Airport Traffic Accident
March 1 was a very sad day for everyone.
On that day a huge traffic accident happened at the Shenzhen Airport. Nine people lost their lives and 23 people were injured. For those people, it was a night- mare!
To learn a lesson, we must know who caused the accident and why.
The answer looks obvious. It’s the car owner’s fault because she drove her car into the people. However, is that true? Is that her fault? What about the dead and injured people? Did they have their own faults as well? The answer is yes.
According to news reports, at that time, many people were standing in the turning section of the viaduct watching the airplanes take off and land. Suddenly, a car appeared. Maybe the car owner got nervous, so she mistakenly stamped on the accelerator instead of the brake pedal, which caused the accident.
In my opinion, of course the driver should be blamed because she caused the accident. However, for those dead and injured people, although we feel sorry for them, they have their own responsibilities as well. They should have been aware of their own safety. They shouldn’t have been standing in a dangerous place to watch the airplanes take off and land.The accident happened on__________.
| A．March 1 | B．March 2 | C．March 3 | D．March 5 |
How many people died in this accident?
| A．23 | B．9 | C．32 | D．25 |
Which of the following shows the writer’s feeling about this accident?
| A．Angry. | B．Happy. | C．Sad. | D．Sorry. |
What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?
| A．We shouldn’t drive cars to the airport. |
| B．We mustn’t stand and watch the planes at the airport. |
| C．We should be aware of our own safety anytime and anywhere. |
| D．Driving a car is dangerous for the young people. |
