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.

Have you ever seen a movie in which a building was burned down or a bridge was destroyed? Have you seen films in which two trains crashed or a ship      into the ocean? If     , you may have wondered how these things could happen without         the actors and actresses in the film.
The man who knows the          is the “special-effects” man. He has one of the most important      in the film industry. He may be ordered to          a flood or to make a battlefield explode.

Then he rapidly reduced the amount of         , allowing the fish to be free. Thus he got the humourous effect the        wanted.
In other parts of movie making there are also special-effects men who have developed        skills in creating certain kinds of effects. Jim White, who has been a special- effects man for thirty-two years, is best known for his          with ships and airplanes.

Imagine the first days in a new time zone. Slow to respond to the          , your body clock is confused. You’re sleepy all day, but when it’s time for bed, you can hardly fall asleep. Obviously you are    jet lag(时差反应).
Travelers have traditionally fought this          with sleeping pills or alcohol. There are actually healthier ways that can work just as 31.
For example, the moment you get on the airplane, start           your biological block to the destination’s time. If it’s daytime in your destination, try to stay           . Walking around the cabin(客舱) can be of help. When it’s nighttime, try to sleep. In that case, eat before the flight,          an empty stomach will prevent you from sleeping. These tips will help you start a new        of sleep and wakefulness.

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’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them       .

Another secret of animals’ survival is telepathy(心灵感应). This sense becomes atrophied(衰退) in man, but a(n)      thought-communication functions in 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. We don’t know much yet about this telepathy from which gland(腺体) it comes, or how it        . But if men could awaken or       it in themselves, and then cooperate by trusting each other,         fearing and treating one another        , the world would be a far better place.
