听力原文:W: Hello, Kevin. I haven't seen you for many days. What's the problem with you?
M: Actually I'm a little embarrassed about coming here. I feel fine right now. (23)But you know, every year around the holidays I would come down with something.
W: (24)So you're interested in prevention. What symptoms do you usually get?
M: You know, cough, fever, runny nose, my head and bones ache etc. I usually feel weak and it ends up ruining my holidays.
W: Sounds like a typical flu to me. (25)Influenza often strikes when people are overtired, stressed and not eating nutritious food. And also you increase your exposure to a virus when you're in big crowds where lots of people are coughing and sneezing.
M: (25)I certainly spend a lot of time in department stores around the holidays buying gifts for my family.
W: (25)Yes. And so you increase your exposure to viruses in the air just when your body's resistance is already low.
M: So what can I do to prevent from the flu?
W: Actually it's fairly simple. Get a lot of rest and eat well. That way your body will become stronger. And you'll be more able to fight off illness.
M: All these things make sense. But one more question. Am I bound to get sick anyway if there's an outbreak in the dorm?
W: I'd also suggest you get immunized. It prevents the three main types of influenza.
M: I'll do it right away. It will be nice to feel well during the holidays for once. Thank you so much, doctor.
W: That's all right.

Sharks
Sharks are amazing fish that have been around since long before the dinosaurs existed. They live in waters all over the world, in every ocean, and even in some rivers and lakes.
Sharks and bony fish
Unlike bony fish, sharks have no bones; their skeleton is made of cartilage (软骨), which is a tough, fibrous substance, not nearly as hard as bone. Cartilage, a strong fibrous (纤维的) substance, is softer than bone; our nose and ears are made of cartilage. Sharks also have no swim bladder (unlike bony fish).
Size
There are many different species of sharks that range in size from the size of a person's hand to bigger than a bus. The Whale shark is the largest fish in the world; the basking shark is the second largest fish. Fully-grown sharks range in size from 7 inches long (the Spined Pygmy shark), up to 50 feet long. Most sharks are intermediate in size, and are about the same size as people, 5-7 feet long. Half of the shark species are under 39 inches long.
Variety of sharks
There are about 368 different species of sharks, which are divided into 30 families. These different families of sharks are very different in the way look, live, and eat. They have different shapes, sizes, color, fins, teeth, habitat, diet, personality, method of reproduction, and other attributes. Some types of shark are very. rare and some are quite common. The spiny dogfish shark is the most common shark.
Body shapes
Sharks have a variety of body shapes. Most sharks have streamlined (流线型的), Some sharks have an elongated body shape (e. g., cookiecutter sharks and wobbegongs). Sawsharks have elongated snouts, thresher sharks have a tremendously elongated upper tail fin which they use to stun prey, and hammerheads have extraordinarily wide heads. The goblin shark has a large, pointed protuberance (突出) on its head; its purpose is unknown.
Teeth
The teeth of sharks are also striking. Sharks may have up to 3,000 teeth at one time. Most sharks do not chew their food, but swallow it down whole or in large pieces. The teeth are arranged in rows; when one tooth is damaged or lost, it is replaced by another. Most sharks have about 5 rows of teeth at any time. The front set is the largest and does most of the wok.
Diet
Sharks vary greatly in their diets, but they are all carnivores (食肉动物). Some eat fish, other sharks, and marine mammals; some eat shellfish from the ocean floor; and others eat tiny bits of plankton (浮游动物) and small animals from the water as they swim with open mouths. They eat huge amounts of these tiny animals and plants.
Sharks' attacks
When some sharks (like the Great White or the Gray Reef shark) turn aggressive prior to an attack, they arch their back and throw back their head. They also move their tail more acutely (probably in preparation for a chase).
Sharks do not normally attack people, and only about 25 species of sharks are known to attack people. Sharks attack fewer than 100 people each year. Many more people are killed by bees or lightning.
The sharks that are the most dangerous to people are the great white shark, the tiger shark, the bull shark, and the oceanic white tip shark. The bull shark is the most frequent attacker of people as it swims in very shallow waters where people swim and is a very plentiful shark. Some of the other sharks that are known to have attacked people include the gray shark, blue shark, hammerhead shark, mako shark, nurse shark, lemon shark, blacktip reef shark, wobbegongs, sandtiger, spitting sharks, and the porbeagle. Some people believe that sharks mistake people (especially people swimming on surf boards) for seals and sea lions, some of their favorite foods.
Occasionally, a group of sharks will attack a food source (for example, a school of fish) in a maniacal fashion. They will wildly attack the food and anything in th
