根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。 Great white sharks have become well known in a bad way, for being scary. 1 . However, you are more likely to be hit by lightning than attacked by a great white shark. One reason why people don’t like great white sharks is that they are huge. They grow to be nearly 21 feet long and can weigh up to 5,000 pounds. That is about two cars long! But the size is not typical. Most great whites are smaller, about 10 to 15 feet long. 2 .

Great whites are called apex predators(捕食者)because they are at the top of the food chain. They have no predators and aren’t that picky about what they eat. Great whites are known to eat fish, squid, other sharks, otters, turtles, dolphins, whales, seals, and sea lions. 3 . Great whites also eat carrion, which is the remains of dead animals floating(漂浮)in the water. 4 . They have 3,000 teeth, and each is up to 3 inches long! Their very sharp teeth are shaped like triangles and have rough edges that tear into things. Great whites don’t even chew their food. They just swallow it down. 5 .

But, like other sharks, great whites don’t intentionally(主动地)eat or attack humans. So swim without fear.

A. That’s still longer than one car, though B. Those last two kinds are their favourite food C. Movies and popular stories make them scary D. A big meal can satisfy a great white shark for about two months E. Another reason why people fear great whites is their frightening teeth B

Students in the US don’t begin their spring break at the same time. It

depends on where they live. While students from one town are on vacation, their neighbors in the next town may have classes as usual.

You may have heard of it from many hit US TV shows and movies. It’ s usually in the middle of March, when characters on shows like Gossip Girl get a week off from classes, go to the beach and throw big parties. It’s spring break or"party time"!

Unlike our semester, which starts in late February or early March this year, American schools begin as early as January. So in late March and April, most American schools, ranging from kindergartens to colleges, give students one to two weeks off school.

College students often take planes to places like Florida or Cancun, Mexico. They relax on the beach, enjoy cold drinks and get a tan.

Younger kids take trips with their parents, visiting a new state or even a new country. Sometimes teachers lead overseas trips for groups of students. On a ten-day trip, for example, students may go on a tour through Spain, France, and Italy, which gives them a great chance to see different parts of the world.

Having a "staycation", which means being a tourist in your own city, is another popular trend (趋势). You can visit local art galleries (美术馆), museums or have a big meal in a nice restaurant. For those who are not in the mood to go out, spring break is a good time to catch up with hit TV series or play video games.

There are also students who want a different kind of spring break experience. Instead of partying, they choose to do community service, help with disaster-hit areas and do other volunteering work. No matter how they’ve spent the break, one thing is for sure — students return to school feeling refreshed (恢复活力的) and ready to finish the school year.

1. Students in the US begin their spring break at a different time, don’t they? . 2. How long does the spring break usually last?
