Pituco is a special dog from Brazil. Why do I say so? Because he can go shopping all by himself. Every day, Pituco goes to Agro Pet to get his food. That makes him popular. “Everybody knows Pituco. ” says the animal doctor of the shop.

“Sometimes, when he can’t reach what he wants, he barks(吠叫) until we hand in to him. ”

After Pituco gets his food, he goes home. Of course, the shop doesn’t just give Pituco his food for free. Agro Pet puts everything Pituco takes on a notebook, and later his owner(主人) comes by to pay.

But as a good boy, Pituco does not only care about himself and his own food. Sometimes his owner calls Agro Pet for food for his other pets. And Pituco is more than happy to go to the shop and bring the food back home for the other pets in the family.

It was around noon when the shark struck. Arthur Medici, a 26-year-old from Brazil, was attacked on Sept. 16 just off Cape Cod’s Newcomb Hollow beach. Although a friend pulled him from the water, he soon died because he was terribly hurt.1.. After just weeks, a 61-year-old was sent to hospital for the same reason a few miles up the beach. The whole area was in fear.

The first accident happened in 1916, when a great white attacked several times and killed four in two weeks. 2.. And the deaths were big news. Since that, the attacks happened two or three times per year for decades. From the 1950, the number rose with the human population growth and more people preferred to be in the water, but even that, you are far less likely to be killed by a shark than by lightning. Thanks to beach safety and hospital service, only five of last year’s attacks caused death in the whole world.

3.. “If sharks were mean to hurt people, we’d see far more accidents.” Instead, great whites are usually looking for seals, which helps explain the situation. The effects of the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act(海洋哺乳动物保护法) make the numbers of seals climbing fast. 4..

In fact, sharks have far more to fear from us than we do from them---fishery collects 100 million ton of sharks each year, and climate change and other human activity make a big difference to their habitats, sending their population to drop quickly.5..

A. At that time, people knew little about the beast from the deep sea.

B. It was the first death in Massachusetts since 1936.

C. However that doesn’t make it any less painful when they bite back.

D. As the seals take the adventure to be closer to beaches, so do the sharks.

E. We now know that the attacks were probably not on purpose.
