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.

I started listening to the stories in English about different people’s lives in order to improve my English listening.

At first, I downloaded (下载) in my iPad very short stories. They were about one or two minutes long. But I quickly became bored of the same old topics and speakers. Then someone told me that there were free audio (音频) books. I was surprised because I knew that it was still difficult for me to listen to long passages. However, at that moment I suddenly realized that not so long ago I had read several wonderful stories by Somerset Maugham in Russian. And it would be a great idea to try listening to them in English, So, as I knew the ideas of those stories, it would be easier for me to understand these stories 69. ______ listening. I have been listening to Maugham’s works for one week every day while walking to college. I like these clever stories. In my opinion. it is a very useful way to improve my listening. Also, I started listening to the texts not only after reading them in advance (提前). but also I try to listen to new books. And it is very difficult for me to do so. There are many websites on the Internet with lots of different books of many types. You can use these sites to download books for free according to your choice.

The more you listen. the more easily you will learn English. The only way to study something is to do it. So if you want to develop listening, you have to listen to the things in English as much as possible.
