Questions 31 - 35. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D OD your bswer sheet to

Most people are afraid of sharks, but they do not usually know much about them. For example, there
are about 350 species of sharks that live in oceans over the world. All of the sharks are carnivores, but most of
thern don't attack people. Some sharks are very small - the smallest shark is about 6 inches long - about as
long as your hand. But some sharks are very large. The largest species of sharks may be 60 feet long and
weigh 15 tons. Unlike many other kinds of fish, sharks do not have bones. Their bodies are made up of a kind
of tough white flexible material (called cartilage). Sharks do not have ears. However, they 'hear' sounds and
movements in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. Sharks can feel these vibrations,
and they help the sharks fmd food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food, too. Most sharks see best in low
light. They often hunt for food at dawn, in the evening or in the middle of the night.

Nowadays scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example, cancer is
common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare in sharks. Scientists want to find out why
sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this informa~n can help people prevent cancer too.
