Great white sharks have become well known in a bad way, for being scary. 【1】. However, you are more likely to be hit by lightning than attacked by a great white shark.

One reason why people don’t like great white sharks is that they are huge. They grow to be nearly 21 feet long and can weigh up to 5,000 pounds. That is about two cars long! But the size is not typical. Most great whites are smaller, about 10 to 15 feet long. 【2】 .

Great whites are called apex predators（捕食者）because they are at the top of the food chain. They have no predators and aren’t that picky about what they eat. Great whites are known to eat fish, squid, other sharks, otters, turtles, dolphins, whales, seals, and sea lions. 【3】 . Great whites also eat carrion, which is the remains of dead animals floating（漂浮）in the water.

【4】 . They have 3,000 teeth, and each is up to 3 inches long! Their very sharp teeth are shaped like triangles and have rough edges that tear into things. Great whites don’t even chew their food. They just swallow it down. 【5】 .

But, like other sharks, great whites don’t intentionally（主动地）eat or attack humans. So swim without fear.

A. That’s still longer than one car, though.

B. Those last two kinds are their favourite food.

C. Movies and popular stories make them scary.

D. A big meal can satisfy a great white shark for about two months.

E. Another reason why people fear great whites is their frightening teeth.
