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 ( 骨头 ). 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.
