Today ,more and more sharks(鲨鱼)die because of humans' activities .Sharks are facing hard living conditions these days. As we know, sharks are among the oldest animals on earth. There are over 500 kinds of sharks living in the oceans. Most of them are quite large and they are about two meters long. Yet some are small, for example, the dogfish shark is less than 20cm long. The shark has a strong sense of smell. This sense helps sharks find their food. Sharks eat fish and plants in the ocean.
Sharks grow slowly. About forty percent of all sharks lay(产) eggs. The others give birth to baby sharks. Some sharks carry their babies inside their bodies as humans do. Some sharks are not able to have babies until they are twenty years old. And each of them gives birth to at most ten baby sharks.
People kill sharks for food, medicine and their skin(皮肤). Experts say the market needs much more sharks. In Asia, people enjoy a kind of food made from shark fins(鱼翅).
For the reasons above, some sharks are endangered.

In English, people use many expressions(表达) with the word "dog". People in the west love their dogs and treat them well. Dogs without owners to care for them lead a very different kind of life: The expression' to lead a dog's life" means living an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing the same things, like good jobs. They say if a person wants to be successful he has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, this situation would be even worse if they became ill as a dog.
Sometimes we should let a sleeping dog lie, which means we'd better not trouble a person who may cause problems. And if someone says you are a lucky dog, he is just saying you're very lucky.
Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people Often have to learn new skills(技能) . Yet, some people say that it's always impossible to teach an old dog new skills. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
There are also some other dog expressions. The dog days of summer are the hottest of the year. A rain in summer may cool the weather. But we do not want to have a very heavy rain. In other words, we do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
