Arnold Pointer, a professional fisherman from the south of Australia, set free (释放) a big female white shark that was 　 16　 in his large fishing nets. He thought she would have more and more babies. But now the fisherman is facing a(n) 　 17　 problem. The white shark is so 　 18　 to him that for nearly 2 years she hasn’t left him 　 19　 . She even follows him everywhere. 　 20　 this, Arnold Pointer can’t do fishing — all the fishes are scared at her, and he doesn’t know 　 21　 to do anymore.

It is hard to drive away such an almost 17-feet-long shark for Arnold Pointer. We all know the white sharks are protected 　 22　 the wildlife conservation. At the same time, some special feeling has been 　 23　 between Arnold and “Cindy”, the name the fisherman has given the white shark.

Arnold says, “Every time I stop the boat, she always comes to me, turns on her back and lets me pet (抚摸) her body and neck. She sings, turns her eyes, and moves her fins (鳍) up and down, hits the water 　 24　 .”

Cindy is 　 25 an interesting animal that Arnold has to try to go fishing in different places. Doesn’t Cindy know what her action means? Maybe she really doesn’t understand.
