With more and more people swimming at beaches every year, the problem of sharks takes on new importance. There are people who still insist that sharks never attack human beings unless they are bleeding or wounded, but this thought has not been clearly proved. In the past few years, on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, there have been cases of shark attacks which resulted in death. And just how many of the swimmers who have disappeared were victims of shark attacks will never be known. Clearly, these violent fish can be dangerous. Several species are known to attack human beings, and it is believed by some experts that certain    sharks,    once    having    tasted    human    blood,    develop    a    taste    for    it.    

The chances that one will come across a shark are small, but certain measures should be taken by everyone. Putting hands or legs over the side of a boat in warm water is to be avoided. Swimming far out from beaches is inviting trouble. No swimmer should go great distances from shore alone, or go into the water when nobody else is about. Skin divers, particularly those who go deep down in the water or among rocks and ledges(暗礁) that serve as hiding places for sharks, are taking unnecessary risks. 

If one is in a boat that is rubbed against by a shark, he should remember the creature is not trying to upset his boat; it is probably trying to rub off sea lice (海虱). A beat, especially on the nose, will scare it away. If a swimmer comes across a shark, he should swim away as quietly as possible, trying to avoid making it angry. He should also head for shore (岸) as quickly as possible.

When young, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn't understand and wondered why time had such a big influence 31 a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as a (n) 32 . But now, 33 I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel 34 to express my own 35 on this saying. I know that I'm just a high school student with very 36 experiences. There are still many things 37 me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.

I once read this sentence, "To make this world a happy place to live in, you'd better change yourself and your heart, instead of the whole world." I was 38 . It made me think about life 39 . There are so many things around us that 40 our will We can't force life to 41 our wishes. The earth won't stop turning no matter whether we accept it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves 42 the world. I think we learn to accept 43 life gives us, no matter whether it's the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be 44 .

Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to catch every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I can't catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more 45 that they slip by and leave you feeling 46 that I'm not just living 47 myself and that there are the others around me I 48 think of. They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it's just a little progress.

Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life positive or 49 . It doesn't matter, I think. There is one 50 that should be obeyed—and that's to make this world a better place to live in.

—But he ____!

—____. We all think you are the best.
