There is no doubt that the great white shark sits atop the ocean food chain. The world's largest fish can weigh at over 5,000 pounds and reach lengths of more than 20 feet. Great white sharks have about 3,000 teeth, which they typically sink into sea lions, seals and sea turtles. These sharks are responsible for a third to a half of the 100 shark attacks on humans every year.
The sea anemone (海葵) may look like the beautiful flower for which it's named, but fish that swim too close may regret it. The sea anemone, which lives on the sea floor, uses its poisonous tentacles (触须) to stab passing creatures with a kind of poison—making them helpless and fit to be eaten.
The surgeonfish (刺尾鱼) is an attractive reef fish that is poisonous. Scientists believe that the world’s seas hold some 1,200 different surgeonfish species and think that they injure about 50,000 people per year. But the surgeonfish poison can also bring great benefit—they are useful in the development of new drugs.
12. How many attacks on humans do great white sharks do every year? A. About 26. B. About 45. C. About 60. D. About 75. 13. The sea anemone is named for its_______. A. colour

We are not suggesting that you can reach a permanent state called “happiness”

and remain there. But there are many ways to turn the path of anxiety, anger, and sadness into a state of happiness. Here are four ideas to get you started. 16 .
● Laugh out loud
Just expecting a happy, funny event can raise levels of pleasure-causing hormones(荷尔蒙) and lower production of stress hormones. Researchers at the University of California tested 16 men, who all agreed they thought a certain videotape was funny. Half were told three days in advance they would watch it. 17 When they actually watched the video, their levels of stress hormones dropped greatly, while their levels of pleasure-causing hormones rose 27 percent.
● Do one thing at a time
Eduward Suarez, professor of medical psychology at Duck, found that people who do several things at the same time are more likely to have high blood pressure. 18 Instead of talking on the phone while cleaning the kitchen, sit down in a comfortable chair and turn your entire attention over to the conversation.
● 19
Although relationships help take away stress, sometimes you need time to recharge and reflect on your own. Take yourself out to lunch or to a movie, or simply spend an afternoon reading at home, or looking through books in a bookstore.
● Practice mindfulness
20 Instead of worrying about your check-up tomorrow while having dinner with your family, focus on the here and now—food, the company, and the conversation.
A. Spend time alone. B. Focus on the present. C. Take care of the soul. D. Take that finding seriously. E. Choose the ones that work for you.
F. They started experiencing biological changes right away.
