  John Perry stood up and looked around again.The island had been a good place to find shells.But now how could he make the   1   move out to sea…?If they swam out to sea he could jump in and get to shore   2   they saw him.

  He saw the sharks rolling and playing.Their   3   was now gone and they were killing for fun.How could he make them move away?

  He drew his knife from his belt.Sharks can   4   blood, he thought.He put the knife against his leg and cut deep into the   5  .The blood ran out and he caught it on his white shirt.When the shirt was red and wet, he tied some cloth around his leg to   6   the flow of blood.He then tied a long piece of cloth to the shirt, threw it into the water and   7   it with the piece of cloth.

  The sharks smelled the blood and came   8   toward the shirt.He ran down the sand reef, pulling the shirt and the sharks raced after it.He was   9   them away from shore.Suddenly he dropped the cloth, turned toward the   10   and ran as fast as he could.He jumped in the water and swam.

  He was halfway across   11   he turned to look back.A high bony fin(鳍)was   12   through the water toward him.He put his face in the water and kicked and splashed(拍打)himself   13   as fast as he could.The shore was near now.

  He lifted his head again to   14   and he saw the shore very near.From behind he felt the water rush toward him, almost pushing him, helping him.And then a great gray body hit him and almost rolled him over in the water.He touched the shore with   15   and he pulled himself up the stones.The shark,   16   by the smell of blood and the chase(追逐), went wildly after him.Its great body crashed against   17  

  The end came quickly and the water was covered with the shark's blood.The injured shark was eaten up   18   by others as it tried to escape.

  Perry slowly struggled   19   his feet.

  “So,”he said,“you did not get me.”And he looked down at the sharks still eating   20   they weren't hungry.He climbed up the stones and walked toward the village.

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So fishing boats went farther than ever.but If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste.
Then fishing companies equipped their boats with freezers. They would freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. 
So fishing boats were equipped with fish tanks. They would  stuff  fish in the tanks(水槽),fin( 鱼翅)to fin .After a little thrashing(颠簸) around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.
To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged.
Have you realized that some of us are also living in a tank but most of the time tired & dull, so we need a Shark in our life to keep us awake and moving.  If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are regularly defeating those challenges, you are Conqueror. You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. You are alive! Here is some advice for you :
1. Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them and enjoy the game. If your challenges are   too large or too numerous, do not give up. Instead, reorganize. Find more determination, more knowledge, more help.
2. God didn't promise days without pain, laughter(笑) without sorrow, sun without rain, but he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.
3. Disappointments are like road blocks, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don't stay on the bumps too long. Move on!

To support the recent Earth Day, a small group of HELP University College students from the

Greens Club, a nature society, did their bit for the hard situation of an unlikely mistreated group: sharks (鲨鱼). 

Nearly 100 million sharks are killed every year for their fins (鳍),which are made into shark fin soup that is referred to as the delicacy.

Some members of the club spent one month gathering research materials for a show. “I thought I already knew how sharks were treated—I never thought it could be so cruel,” admitted Hui zhi, who helped set up the “shark murder” TV corner for the club and was one of the first to watch the video materials. “It’s very beneficial to anyone who watches it”, said Clarence meanwhile. “And watching it probably does a lot to get people to stop eating shark fin soup and stop the demand for it.” He is right. Watching the poor sharks killed at the hands of human is not different from watching one’s beloved household pet killed unmercifully(无情地) just for something God gives them, like fins, or fur.

“Young people can influence their parents’ thinking. We wanted to screen Shark Tale to show the human side of sharks, the human side that every animal has.” added Ee Ling, who founded the Greens Club three years ago.

Fortunately, there is the good sense of young hearts and minds like Ee Ling and friends who are able to see and value the soul in natural things before they become exploited (不正当地利用) for our own pleasure.                                                                            

1. Why are so many sharks killed every year?

  A. People hunted them for their fins.      

B. Because they are dangerous to fishermen.

  C. Because people want to screen “Shark Tale”.

  D. Because they are not like our beloved pets.

2. Form the passage we can infer that______.

  A. shark fin soup is the best delicacy in the world

  B. people who watched the video materials about sharks would stop eating shark soup at once

  C. people don’t like sharks

  D. many people aren’t able to see and value the soul in natural things

3. How does the writer feel about the present situation?

  A. depressed   B. angry     C. sad but hopeful    D. disappointed
