As dangerous as sharks may have seed to people after watching Jaws, which was released on June 20,1975, the recent disastrous decrease in their numbers show that people have proven far more dangerous to sharks.
This disastrous decline is due in large part to commercial fishing of sharks. “The market for
shark fins(鱼翅)in East Asia opened up thanks to changes in their economy, increasing their
ability to spend money on things such as shark fin soup,” Burgess said.
However, the biggest worry for sharks and their relatives, the skates and rays, which are suffering a similar fate, “is how they are killed incidentally when fishermen try and take other fish—the problem of bycatch(渔业混获),” Burgess explained. “They may be thrown back afterward, but they’re still dead.”
The key of the problems behind bringing sharks back is that “they’re not the same as other fish,” Burgess said, “Sharks are slow growing and slow to reach maturity. Sharks are live bearers, which means females keep their young in their body just like us, but instead of nine months, it takes 12 to 18 months or more in sharks. Also, sharks generally can’t give birth again until a year after they’ve given birth—sometimes they’re on a three-year cycle. So once you get a shark population knocked down, this ‘life in the slow lane’ means that recovery is measured in decades rather than years.”\
Burgess said, “I’m on the recovery team for it, but the recovery plan for that is over the course of 100 years. So I won’t see them recover, nor will you, nor will your children. That’s what it means when these animals go down—they’re down a long time.”
Any measures aimed at saving sharks must not only consider byeatch, “which is the real killer right now,” but also encourage interactional cooperation, Burgess said.
“Sharks are very migratory, and many species cross borders,” he said. “We can protect them only by getting many govemment to come aboard. That’s the hardest part about this.”

Dr.Ferguson energetically pushed the preparations for his departure,and in person directed the construction of his balloon.For a long time past he had been applying himself to the study of the Arab language and the various Mandingoe idioms,and,thanks to his talents in language,he had made rapid progress.
In the meanwhile,his friend,the sportsman,never let him out of
his sight-afraid,no doubt,that the doctor might take his departure,without saying a word to anybody.On this subject,he tried to discourage him with the most persuasive arguments,which,however,did NOT persuade Samuel Ferguson,and wasted his breath,by which the latter seemed to be but slightly moved.In fine,Dick felt that the doctor was slipping through his fingers.
? The poor Scot was really to be pitied.He could not look upon the
blue sky without a wild terror: when asleep,he felt dizziness(眩晕)that made his head turn around;and every night he had visions of crashing down from immeasurable heights.
We must add that,during these nightmares,he once or twice fell out of bed. His first care then was to show Ferguson a severe bump(肿块)that he had received on the fall.“And yet,”he
would add,with warmth,“that was at the height of only three feet一not an inch more一and such a bump as this! Only think,then!”
This appeal,full of sad meaning as it was,did not seem to touch the doctor's heart.Not even the shadow of a doubt was ever suggested;and Samuel made an intolerable misuse of the first person plural:“‘Our’balloon,‘our’ car ;‘our’expedition.”
???? Dick trembled at them,although he was determined not to go ; he did not want to annoy his friend.Let us also disclose the fact that,without knowing exactly why himself,he had sent to Edinburgh for a certain selection of heavy clothing,and his best hunting-tools and fire-arms.
1.Why did Dr.Ferguson start to learn new languages?
A.To keep himself occupied.
B.To get ready for the departure.
C.To show his talent in language.
D.To Know more about? balloon construction.
2.We Call infer from the passage that Dick ____.
A.suffered from a disease during the nights
B.got hurt in a fall from the balloon in the evening
C.decided to take the adventure with the doctor at last
D.equipped himself with arms to frighten his friend
3.Which word best describes Dr.Ferguson’s attitude towards his balloon flight?
A.Excited.???? B.Optimistic.? C.Worried.??? D.Determined
4.What’s the writing pattern of the passage?
A.News.?????? B.Fiction.???? C.Journal.?? D.Biography.
