We know that every year less than 100 people are attacked by sharks and about 5 to 10 of these people die But, let's look at the other side of the story - How many sharks do people kill? Well, I think you already know this: People kill many more sharks Every year, people hunt and kill thousands of sharks One reason people kill sharks is for sport; they hunt them just for fun Some people started to have contests to see who kill the most sharks or the biggest sharks Another reason that people kill sharks is for food In some countries, such as the United States and Great Britain, shark meat is a popular food In other countries, such as China, people use shark fins to make soup Because
so many people like to eat shark, fishing boats catch a lot of sharks to sell for food
So, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks Some biologists are getting worried that the number
of sharks is getting too small That's why many biologists think we should stop killing so many sharks, and instead try to protect them - or else some day they may all be gone Some countries have already passed some laws to help protect sharks The United States, for example, has passed laws that limit the number of sharks that people can kill for food or for sport So even though some people like to hunt sharks, we do need to protect them
36 How many sharks are hunted and killed every year?
37 People want to kill sharks because
C they get their enjoyment from killing sharks D B and C are correct
38 The number of sharks in the world is _
A not getting worried by some biologists B being killed
39 Why do biologists want to protect sharks?
A Because they want to learn more about sharks B Because of the number of sharks that were killed
C Because they are afraid some day sharks may no longer exist
D Because shark fins can be used in medicine
40 Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage?
A The governments prohibited people from killing sharks
B Laws have been passed in sharks' defence
C People like to hunt sharks D People are killing many sharks for some reasons
