There seems to be two main views on sharks. Those that think there are hundreds of Great White Sharks waiting to eat people at the shoreline and those that think that sharks are not really dangerous and want to pet them. I think a view somewhere between these two would be more realistic. It should be remembered that all sharks can bite, just like all fish can bite. Apart from any actual damage, just the fright of getting bitten by a large fish can panic a diver. If you don't touch them and don't chase them you should have no problems. Moreover, when you think about the millions of surfers, swimmers, snorklers, and divers that go into our oceans, it is amazing that not more people are attacked. It really goes to show that most sharks are not interested in attacking us.
48- From the passage it's clear that the author ...
A) has an opinion that absolutely agrees with the two main views on sharks B) does not believe that sharks are so
lovely as to be pet
C) has an opinion that differs thoroughly from the above-mentioned views an sharks
D) supports those who regard sharks as extremely frightening creatures E) has an opinion that roughly coincides
with the two main views on sharks 49- The controversy between the two main
views mentioned in the passage... A) has arisen as a result of the unreliable
information gained about sharks B) centres on whether sharks are
dangerous to humans or not C) intensified because of the author's
statements on the subject
D) erupted when a swimmer was reported to have been attacked by a shark E) quietened down thanks to the
statements made by some experts 50- Considering the tact noted about the millions
of surfers, swimmers, snorklers, and divers, A) sharks arc lucky to find their dinner ready B) swimmers arc really at a tremendous risk

One likely reason is that men hate to think about a malignancy in that vital and an exceedingly sensitive part of the body. The treatment -surgical removal of the testicle - is even worse to contemplate. But another reason is that testicular cancer is relatively rare: only 7400 cases will be diagnosed in the US next year, representing one percent new male cancer.

A) men's not liking to speak about such an illness
B) human beings dislike thinking about grave illnesses
C) Lance Armstrong had never mentioned anybody about his condition
D) that people find it embarrassing to speak about their illnesses
E) indifference of mass-media to such critical problem
53- One can understand from the passage that A) testicular cancer is not a kind of illness that
should be feared so much
