maybe not. new research into the reasons for shark attacks (攻击) suggests that sharks dont like the way humans taste! in fact, most people who are attacked by the shark are still alive 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 dont 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 (骨头). it is hard for a shark to eat us because sharks dont have hands, and they cant pull the meat off our bones. maybe thats 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 attacks a surfer(冲浪运动员). 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.38. what happens to people attacked by sharks? a. most of them because blind. b. most of them because of deaf. c. most of them died. d. most of them are still alive.39. how do sharks find out about an unusual object according to the passage? a. by biting. b. by smelling. c. by touching. d. by killing.40. which sentence about sharks is true? a. sharks pull meat off bones when they eat. b. sharks might mistake humans for seals. c. sharks like to attack surfers because of their thick fat. d. one bite from a shark is nothing serious.41. what would the author write the passage mainly for? a. to tell surfers to stay away from sharks. b. to ask people to stop killing sharks. c. to let us know the reasons for shark attacks on people. d. to show that humans are much stronger than sharks.dnathan sawayas childhood was a lot of fun. he drew cartoons, wrote stories, and played with plastic toy bricks (积木). his grandparents bought his first set of toy bricks when he was five years old and hes been building with toy bricks ever since. he even took his building bricks to college with him! instead of books and a computer, he had a model of greenwich village made of bricks on his desk. nathan started as a lawyer but gave up his highly-paid (高薪的) job to become an artist that uses toys in his art. he uses toy bricks to build everything from the statue of liberty(自由女神像) to superman! he has more than 1.5 million colored bricks in his working room in new york which he uses to make pieces of art. he started by building small models but then decided to do something big and created a self-portrait (自画像). it took him two days just to build the eyes. nathans work has appeared in museums around the world. children love his art because it is made out of the same toys that they play with at home and adults love his work because it is fascinating. since it began in2007, nathans exhibition the art of the brick has been very popular with museum visitors everywhere. im proud that i took a dream i had as a child, to become an artist, and i have actually made a job out of it, says nathan. to do what you love in life is the most important thing. 42. what did nathan put on his desk at college?
