AMany people believe sharks (鲨鱼)are dangerous and will always try to hurt or even kill humans. In fact, 94 percent of the world’s 400 species are harmless to humans.A shark exhibition at the National Aquarium (水族馆) in Baltimore, US proves this. Visitors can touch young sharks, see their eggs develop and watch a dozen different species swim smoothly around a huge tank.Most people fail to realize that shark attacks don't happen very often. Humans are more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark.And to make this point clear, the museum has set up a special touching pool for children. There, kids can learn, from an early age, not to fear sharks. They can watch them develop inside the eggs and feel the skin of the older swimmers."People fear what they don't know," said Nancy Hotchkiss, an organizer of the exhibition, which runs till December. "Sharks have been round for 400 million years and play an important role in the ocean's food chain. We want people to discover that sharks are amazing animals that need our respect and protection."A shocking 100 million sharks are killed every year by humans around the world.A study, published in January in the US magazine Science, found that almost all recorded sharks species have fallen by half in the past eight to fifteen years~ Thousands of sharks are hunted in Asia for special foods, such as shark fin (鱼翅) soup. And many others get caught in nets, while fishermen are hunting other fish. More than half of all sharks are smaller than one metre long."Some fishing methods are actually cleaning out the ocean," said Dave Schofield, the manager of the aquarium's ocean health program. "The fishermen threw them away like rubbish."It is a worrying situation and some areas have put measures in place to protect these species of fish.36.

But now a lot of websites are springing up, providing free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of.In one sense, these "how-to" sites represent (代表) a part of the growing world of online learning. This tradition found one of its earliest forms in the FAQs--or Frequently Asked Questions files (文件夹)--that began on Usenet, the Internet's global, discussion group. These FAQs, many of which still go round continuously, took a specific subject--and explained it to complete novices.But "how-to" sites take the FAQs idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that aren’t necessarily related to discussion forums (论坛). These sites take the style of a written teaching period and a tone of friendly advice. Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is (www. ).

It is not that our friends are all very busy, it is just that we have no television. People think that we are very strange. "But what do you do in the evenings? They are always asking. The answer is simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We always spend our eveningsin classes for foreign languages. This is very useful. I collect stamps and am always busy with my collection (收集). Both of us enjoy listening to music and playing cards.Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us as we just light candies and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends are lost--no television! So they don't know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full as they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games. Yes, life is possible without television!根据文意回答问题,每空一词。
