4．What do you expect when you go on holiday？Probably to relax，have a good time and above all，stay safe．
Sometimes natural disasters，such as a hurricane or an erupting volcano，may put a stop to your holiday plans．But holidaymakers at the Red Sea resort of Sharmel-Sheikh in Egypt are facing a problem of a different kind．
The resort is popular with British tourists who go there for the golden sands，warm sea，and for the excellent scuba diving．But at the moment they are not adventuring into the water for fear of a series of attacks by sharks．One person has been killed and several others have been injured in the attacks over the last few weeks．According to Ian Fergusson，a shark biologist，"these sharks frequent the region but it was unusual for swimmers to meet them in shallow waters"．
What has attracted them into these waters and attack people is still a mystery but experts agree that attacks are extremely rare and that they are not the man-eaters shown in Hollywood films like Jaws．One thought is that animal bodies were recently dumped into the sea from a ship close to the shore．Ian Fergusson says："If you start dumping those carcasses，you couldn't ask for a better way of attracting sharks．"He also says that"they are opportunistic and it could just be a case of people being in the wrong place at the wrong time"．
The thought of a shark attack might make you think twice about taking a dip in the sea but the research by the University of Florida found there are estimated to be between 70and 100attacks on humans per year and only a small number are deadly．Mark Murphy，who runs a scuba diving company，is worried about how the government will control these sharks in the Red Sea，He points out that"over 70million sharks a year are killed by humans and they are an essential part of the ocean ecosystem"．
What is clear is that finding the predators（食肉动物）behind these attacks in Egypt is going to be very difficult．

17．There are thousands of coral reefs（珊瑚礁） in the world； Unfortunately，however，they are now in serious danger．More than one-third are in such bad shape that they could die within ten years．（36）BHere are the three main causes discovered．
The first cause is pollution on land．The pollutants run with rainwater into rivers and streams，which carry the poisons into the ocean．（37）ESo they will be easily infected（感染） with diseases．
（38）AHigher ocean temperatures kill the important food source（来源） for the coral-the algae，the tiny greenish-gold water plants that live on coral．（39）GThis process has happened more and more frequently in recent years．
The last factor contributing to the disappearance of coral reefs is people．People sometimes crash into reefs with their boats，breaking off large blocks of coral．（40）CMoreover，some people even break coral off to collect for souvenirs since it is so colorful and pretty．

A．Global warming is another reason．
B．Many might not even last that long!
C．Divers who walk on reefs can also do serious damage．
D．Reefs provide a home for 25% of the fish in the ocean．
E．Chemicals from the poisons kill reefs or make them weak．
F．Steps must be taken now to stop over-fishing and pollution of the oceans．
G．When the algae die，the coral loses its color and it also dies in the end．

16．Teenage boys，regardless of race，are more likely to die from gunshot wounds than from all natural causes combined，
By the time the average American child leaves primary school，he or she will witness 8，000 murders and more than 100，000 acts of violence on televisionYouth are becoming involved in violence at an alarming rate． In fact，the young arrest rate for murder doubled，from 6 arrests per 100，000 youth aged from 10 to 17 to over 12 per 100，000For the many youth who have not been directly exposed to violence in their own communities，the entertainment media （television，movies，music and video games） provides many opportunities for children to see and hear violent exchanges． Research shows that there are about 5～6 violent acts per hour on prime time and 20～25 violent acts on Saturday morning children's programming． In its report，the American Psychological Association （APA） reported that viewing violence on television hurts children in many ways． In particular，the APA concludes that children may become less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others，be more fearful of the world around them，be more likely to behave in aggressive or harmful ways toward others，and gradually accept violence as a way to solve problems．
Another form of violence involving youth is physical punishment in the schools． This form of discipline （纪律） still remains legally supported in 23 nations in America． The Office for Civil Rights in the Department of Education reported that 555，000 students were physically punished in the schools during this school year． Although such punishment has been regarded as an effective method of discipline by those who apply it，the findings are obvious that physical punishment does not work and that children who are victims of physical punishment are subject to potential long-term physical and emotional damage．

15．The story began on a downtown Brooklyn street corner．An elderly man had collapsed while crossing the street，and an ambulance rushed him to Kings County Hospital．There，when he came to now and again，the man repeatedly called for his son．
From a worn letter located in his pocket，an emergency room nurse learned that his son was a marine stationed in North Carolina．Apparently there were no other relatives．
Someone at the hospital called the Red Cross office in Brooklyn，and a request for the boy to rush to Brooklyn was sent to the Red Cross director of the North Carolina Marine Corps camp．Because time was short---the patient was dying---the Red Cross man and an officer set out in an army vehicle．They found the young man walking through some marshes （沼泽） in a military exercise．He was rushed to the airport in time to catch the only plane that might enable him to reach his dying father．
It was dusk when the young marine walked into the entrance lobby of Kings County Hospital．A nurse took the tired，anxious serviceman to the bedside．
"Your son is here，"she said to the old man．She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened．The medicine he had been given for the pain from his heart attack made his eyes weak and he could only see the shadow of the young man in Marine Corps uniform standing outside the oxygen tent．He reached out his hand．The marine wrapped his strong fingers around the old man's weak ones，squeezing a message of love and encouragement．The nurse brought a chair，so the marine could sit by the bed．
Nights are long in hospitals，but all through the night the young marine sat there in the dimly lit ward （病房），holding the old man's hand and offering words of hope and strength．Occasionally，the nurse urged the marine to rest for a while．He refused．
Whenever the nurse came into the ward，the marine was there，but he paid no attention to her and the night noises of the hospital---the banging of an oxygen tank，the laughter of the night staff exchanging greetings，the cries and breathing of other patients．Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words．The dying man said nothing，only held tightly to his son through most of the night．
It was nearly dawn when the patient died．The marine placed the lifeless hand he had been holding on the bed，and went to inform the nurse．While she did what she had to do，he smoked a cigarette，his first since he got to the hospital．
Finally，she returned to the nurse's station，where he was waiting．She started to offer words of sympathy，but the marine interrupted her．"Who was that man？"he asked．
"He was your father，"she answered，shocked．
"No，he wasn't，"the marine replied．"I never saw him before in my life．"
"Why didn't you say something when I took you to him？"the nurse asked．
"I knew immediately there'd been a mistake，but I also knew he needed his son，and his son just wasn't here．When I realized he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son，I guessed he really needed me．So I stayed．"
With that，the marine turned and left the hospital．Two days later a message came in from the North Carolina Marine Corps base informing the Brooklyn Red Cross that the real son was on his way to Brooklyn for his father's funeral．It turned out there had been two marines with the same name and similar numbers in the camp．Someone in the personnel office had pulled out the wrong record．
But the wrong marine had become the right son at the right time．And he proved，in a very human way，that there are people who care what happens to their fellow men．
