　　When I crossed a small road on my first day in Kolkata, I was surprised because I heard a bell-not a horn (喇叭), It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw, He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and pulled them to school．For many people, the rickshaw in Kolkata has many advantages．When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find a way through the traffic．If your miss your bus and there aren't any taxis, you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata．Rickshaws are from your house to the market and waits for you．Then he loads (裝載)all your things, drops you off outside your home and helps you unload, No other type of public transport offers this kind of service．

　　From June to September, Kolkata gets heavy rain．Sometimes it rains for 48 hours without a break．In some parts of the city, the roads flood (水淹), and anything with an engine(發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)) is useless, But the rickshaw drivers never stop working, even with water all around them．

　　But not everyone thinks rickshaws are a good thing．The local government want to ban rickshaws．They believe it is wrong for one man to pull another person when there is modern transport in the city．However, there is a problem with this plan．Many of the rickshaw drivers come from the countryside．The only job they can find in Kolkata is pulling a rickshaw, If the city bans rickshaws, these men won't have a job．So for the moment, the people of Kolkata still go by rickshaw．

　　Should we be afraid of sharks? Maybe not．New research into the reasons for shark attacks (攻擊) suggests that sharks don't like the way humans taste! In fact, most people who are attacked by the shark are still alive after receiving only one bite (咬)．Why is this?

　　There are many opinions to explain why sharks sometimes attack people．One opinion is that sharks are just curious (好奇的)．We know that sharks are the strongest animals in their environment, so they are not afraid of anything．Naturally, that means they are curious when they meet something unusual．Because they don't have hands or feet．, the only way they can find out an object is to bite it! It is thought that sharks sometimes bite humans for this reason, and then swim away．

　　Scientists also say that sharks would not waste energy trying to eat a human, as we have a lot of bones (骨頭)．It is hard for a shark to eat us because sharks don't have hands, and they can't pull the meat off our bones．Maybe that's why they only bite us once．Unluckily, one bite from a large shark is serious enough to hurt people greatly!

　　Another opinion is that sharks attack humans by mistake．Some sharks may sometimes mistake humans for a seal．An example of this is when a shark attack attacks a surfer．A surfer lying on a surfboard looks like a seal when seen from below．Sharks like seals because they have thick fat．

　　Whatever the reason for shark attacks on humans, sharks should be afraid of us．Sadly, we kill almost 40 million of them each year．

(1)

[　　]

A．

Most of them because blind．

B．

(2)

How do sharks find out about an unusual object according to the passage?

[　　]

A．

By biting．

B．

By smelling．

C．

By touching．

D．

By killing．

(3)

Which sentence about sharks is true?

[　　]

A．

Sharks pull meat off bones when they eat．

B．

Sharks might mistake humans for seals．

C．

Sharks like to attack surfers because of their thick fat．

D．

One bite from a shark is nothing serious．

(4)

What would the author write the passage mainly for?

[　　]

A．

To tell surfers to stay away from sharks．
