Sharks frighten most of us,but Daniel Weaver,a shark scientist,swims with them for a living!We asked him some questions about this unusual job.

So Daniel,what's it like to be a shark scientist?

Well,itJs a great job. I often travel to faraway places like South Africa and Fiji to study sharks. On the other hand,a shark scientist sometimes does boring desk work,such as writing reports. Also,shark scientists don't usually get paid a lot.

What qualities (品质) do you need to become a shark scientist?

Shark scientists need to be wise and strong. They enjoy working outdoors and they have to be cool and patient. They also have to be quite brave!So do you think it's a dangerous job?

Well,sharks have up to 15 rows of sharp teeth. However,sharks hardly attack (攻击) humans. There are over 350 kinds of sharks in the world and only about 10 kinds of them are dangerous to us. In fact,dogs kill more people every year than sharks!Humans kill over 12 million sharks a year for food and sport!

How do you become a shark scientist?

A shark scientist usually studies marine science or zoology at university. It's also good to get some work experience in an aquarium. In my opinion,I have the best job in the world!

A Dolphins are our friends. They can use tools to solve problems although they don't have hands. For example,scientists have ever found that a dolphin can make a shy eel (鳗鱼) come out of its hole with a dead fish.

Dolphins use different sounds to exchange information with each other. Scientists in Hawaii have developed a sign language to give instructions to dolphins,and the results are amazing. They find that dolphins not only understand the meaning of individual (个别的) words,but also understand the impor-tance of word order in a sentence.

Most animals enjoy playing —but dolphins seem to like making their games as challenging as possible. On a beautiful day in 1997,scientists at a beach watched a little dog going into the sea and swimming towards the dolphins. To their surprise,the dolphins came up to the dog and then started throwing it into the air. The dog seemed to enjoy the “game” and continued playing with the dolphins for more than an hour.

Dolphins live in a very different world from ours,but they are very good at our “IQ tests”. For example,they will jump out of the water when they hear a whistle (口哨) noise. They do this because they will get a fish as a prize.

There is still much to learn about these cute problem-solvers,but it is certain that watching a dolphin show is fun.

() 1. What can a dolphin use to make an eel come out of its hole?

   A. Its mouth. B. Its head.

   C. A dead fish. D. A little dog.

() 2. How do dolphins exchange information with each other?

   A. By using tails.

   B. By using tools.

   C. By using words.

   D. By using sounds.

() 3. The dolphins throw the dog when playing.

   A. onto its back   B. into the air

   C. onto the beach   D. into the water

() 4. Why do the dolphins jump out of the water when they hear a whistle noise?

   A. Because they want to get a fish as a prize.

   B. Because they enjoy playing in the water.

   C. Because they want to play with other dolphins.

   D. Because the dolphin keepers want them to come out.

() 5. Which of the following is TRUE accord ing to the passage?
