For many years, lots of great white sharks were killed.But thanks to peoples efforts, the population of these sharks is rising again in the US, according to two recent studies.Why is their growing population something to celebrate?

In 1997, a law was passed in the US to stop the hunting of great white sharks. Gradually, the numbers of sharks started to increase.The law wasnt the only thing that has helped great white sharks. Environmental protection groups have also played a part. The research group, OCEARCH, puts an electronic device(装置) on a sharks fin and then tracks(追踪) its movements. Just as important, they let the public follow each shark as it travels the worlds oceans. OCEARCH also gives each shark a name. The groups most famous shark is a shark named Katharine. Thousands of people have tracked Katharines movements on the website. This helps people see sharks in a new way - not just as the dangerous killers seen in movies. Learning about sharks makes people want to do more to protect them.62.

Students are usually very rich; Prince William and Harry both went to Eton, a school which has produced 19 British prime ministers (首相).One of the most important things for these schools is sport. Cricket (板球), rugby (英式橄榄球) and rowing (赛艇运动) are played nearly every day. These games build teamwork and discipline (纪律). There is a famous saying in English, “The British Empire (帝国) was built on the playing fields of Eton.”Boarding schools often appear in English books and films. The young child without parents growing up in a boarding school is found in hundreds of stories, although the most famous now is Harry Potter.
