Sharks? Sharks!

By Robert Young

I'm visiting the USA at the moment, and I'm writing this article in Orlando, Florida. I've been lucky to visit the Marine Institute here and learn many interesting facts about sharks.

P.S. There are two words with American spelling in my article. Can you find them?

Sharks have existed for millions of years. In fact, many sharks have existed longer than dinosaurs. There are about 400 different types of sharks in the world. Many of them are named after the way they look or where they live. For example, the hammerhead shark has a head shaped like a hammer; the whale shark is as big as a whale; and the reef shark lives on coral reefs. Sharks range from a few centimeters to many meters (up to 13!) in length.

Sharks have the senses people have: smell, taste, touch, eyesight, and hearing. They, like many fish, do not have outer ears. Their inner ears are so good, that they can hear a moving fish up to 2 km away! Sharks' wonderful sense of hearing is the most important method they use to find their food.

Most sharks live for about 25 years, but some of them can live to be a 100 years.

Sharks perform a very important job in the ocean by eating weak and sick animals, they help to keep the population of animals in the sea fit and healthy.

Sharks are hunted by people. People catch sharks for food or for medicine. But people kill too many sharks, and shark numbers are declining. About 100,000,000 sharks are killed by man each year, and many species are in danger of extinction. In fact, sharks are in far more danger from us than we are from them.

Ответ:

1 The hammerhead shark and the whale shark are named after the way they look. (Акула-молот и китовая акула названы так из-за своей внешности.)

2 The reef shark is named after where it lives. (Рифовая акула названа так по месту своего обитания.)

3 Sharks share the senses of smell, taste, touch, eyesight, and hearing with human beings. (Акулы разделяют с людьми такие чувства, как обоняние, вкус, осязание, зрение и слух.)

4 Yes, their hearing is very powerful. The text says that they can hear a moving fish up to 2 km away! (Да, их слух очень мощный. В тексте сказано, что они могут услышать движущуюся рыбу на расстоянии до 2 км!)

5 The longest lifespan of a shark can be up to 100 years. (Максимальная продолжительность жизни акулы может достигать 100 лет.)

6 Sharks help to keep the sea life balanced by eating weak and sick animals. (Акулы помогают поддерживать баланс морской жизни, поедая слабых и больных животных.)

7 Sharks should be protected because many species are in danger of extinction due to hunting. (Акул нужно защищать, потому что многие виды находятся под угрозой исчезновения из-за охоты.)
