Is the whale the world’s largest fish? No. It looks like a fish, but it is really a mammal . Then what’s the world’s largest fish? It’s the whale shark.

Although the whale shark is our biggest fish and lives in many oceans around the world, few people have ever heard of it. Scientists have not been studying whale sharks for very long. Much more needs to be learned about them.

A whale shark is sometimes called a “gentle giant”. It likes to be alone and doesn’t care a bit about divers or humans. The biggest whale shark weighed 24,250 pounds and was nearly 40 feet long. This makes it heavier and longer than a school bus.

Inside its huge mouth are great numbers of very small teeth. To count all of them, you’ll need to do some maths. The whale shark’s teeth are arranged in rows. There are between eleven and thirteen rows on each jaw and around three hundred teeth in each row.

However, the whale shark rarely uses its teeth. It does not chew or bite its food. Large amounts of water are pulled into its mouth and then pushed out through its gills .

For a few months every year, a group of whale sharks comes to Ningaloo Reef, off Western Australia. This gives scientists a wonderful chance to study the large fish. Whale sharks do live in other oceans of the world, but no one knows their population. It is possible that our biggest fish may need protecting. It is one of the reasons why scientists continue to learn all they can about these gentle giants.

( )35. Which sentence can tell us that whale sharks are gentle?

A. They have large mouths. B. They leave divers alone.

C. They have small eyes. D. They live in many oceans.

( )36. How does the writer help us know what the whale shark’s mouth looks like?

A. By giving reasons. B. By describing colours.

C. By comparing sizes. D. By using numbers.

( )37. The fifth paragraph is mainly about _____.

A. how a whale shark eats B. what a whale shark eats

C. how different fish use their gills D. what’s inside a whale shark’s mouth

( )38. Which of the following is the best title for the article?

A. The Largest Animal B. The Diary of a Sailor

C. Gentle Giants D. My Life on the Sea

There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.

I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I signed and sat down to read my Economics.

It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurr
