25、人类。鲨鱼(对人类)的攻击有三种方式。在主要的情形中,鲨鱼攻击你是因为它把你错当成了鱼,但当它发觉是人肉的味道时,就会决定放弃并游开。在第二种情形中,鲨鱼会用鼻子推搡你,以弄清你是否适合被食用,如果它觉得适合,便会咬你。在第三种攻击中,鲨鱼只等你游过它身边,随即猛地发起攻击。后两种攻击方式经常导致人类的死亡。为了减少被攻击的危险,你应谨遵以下建议:不在黑暗处游泳。(在黑暗处)鲨鱼可以看见你,而你无法看见它们。如果你有新伤口,就不要在海里游泳。即使隔着很远的距离,鲨鱼仍能嗅到血腥味。不要穿鲜亮的服装或佩戴珠宝,因为色彩和发光的物体对鲨鱼很有吸引力。和大家待在一起,因为鲨鱼通常会避开人群。最近,随
26、着水上运动越来越受人们青睐,鲨鱼攻击(人类的事件)也在持续增长。如果遭到鲨鱼攻击,请尝试以下一些建议进行自救:保持镇静不要惊慌失措。用拳头击打鲨鱼的鼻子。用手指戳鲨鱼的眼睛。不要惧怕鲨鱼:你被闪电击中的几率要比遭受鲨鱼攻击的几率大30倍。鸽子的奇妙世界万籁俱寂的夜晚,除了警卫员在监守敌军外,所有士兵都已睡去,突然传过枪声和火光,他们被偷袭了!数百敌军向他们冲来。除非他们得到援助,否则他们将面临死亡。他们应该怎么办?一个军官在一张纸片上迅速写下简短的信息:“被偷袭!赶快支援!”他把纸片卷起来,放进一个小盒子里,然后伸手探入一个笼子里,捉出一只鸟来。把信息系到它的腿上,然后把鸟放飞。它立刻飞向高空
27、消失在黑暗中。那只鸟能否及时到达?他们会得救吗?虽然这似乎令人难以置信,但那名军官所用的鸟儿和我们常在公园里看到的一种鸟是同样的鸽子。鸽子有奇妙的方向感,并且能在长距离之外找到回家的路。确实,鸽子以能从1 800千米之外飞回家而著名。那就是鸽子从古代就被用来传递信息甚至邮件的原因。然而,正是在战争期间他们发现了它们的最大用途。在一战和二战中,鸽子被军队用来在前线之间传递信息。因此,拯救了许多士兵的生命,甚至帮助一些重要战争取得了胜利。鸽子是如何找到它们的方向的?鸽子体内似乎有一只罗盘,告诉它们何处是北方。这个罗盘究竟是如何工作的仍然是个谜。当然,仅仅靠这个罗盘并不能让它们找到方向,它们似乎也利
28、用它们的视觉和嗅觉来辨别它们应该怎么飞。和人类不同的是,它们从不迷路,它们总是能找到回家的路。1(教材P18)Contrary to what many people might assume, evidence shows that sharks seldom attack humans.与许多人所想的相反,证据表明鲨鱼很少攻击人类。contrary adj.相反的n.相反的事实或情况What he told me was the contrary of what you told me.他告诉我的和你告诉我的正相反。(1)be contrary to与相反(2)to the contrar
