There’s just a 1-in-3,700,000 chance that a person will be killed by 1 shark, but the fear is still enough to have swimmers worrying about 2 (be) seen as prey (捕获物). Now, new research supports the long-standing theory 3 when great whites go in for a bite, it’s a case of “mistaken identity”.

A team of biologists 4 (compare) videos of seals swimming with those of humans swimming. They then edited the clips to simulate a great white’s vision and found that from the ocean inhabitant’s point 5 view, humans do indeed have a strong resemblance to seals.

“Usually, great white sharks 6 (regard) as ‘mindless killers’ and fond of human flesh. However, this does not seem to be the case; we just look like 7 (they) food,” Laura Ryan, lead author of the study, told Live Science.

“They eat seals every day and bites on people are 8 (extreme) rare,” said Catherine MacDonald, a marine scientist at the University of Miami. “So if they’re not solving the problem visually, then how do we think they’re solving it? 9 (hit) the right targets, sharks could be relying on other senses, like the scent. If that’s the case, 10 (addition) studies on how great whites use those senses could help prevent further attacks.”

Living Jewels

Before I went to the British Koi Keepers Annual Show, I didn’t understand 1 people could take fish so seriously. However, the more I learned about koi, the more interested became. As one expert told me, "Collecting koi is far more addictive than you might think. They’re as beautiful as butterflies and very calming to watch." Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, would have agreed the pool in his specially-built Japanese garden was home to 89 koi, 2 cost up to $10,000 each.

At the show I met koi enthusiast Jean Kelly. “Koi are getting more and more expensive,” she told me. “One recently sold for $250,000.” I was shocked that's almost as much as I paid for my house. Well, that was a record, 3 (admit) Jean. The normal price is nowhere near as high as that.

Nevertheless, serious collectors can pay up to $15,000 for a fully 4 (grow) koi, which is nearly as expensive as a new luxurious car, and the bigger they are, the more they cost. The cheapest I 5 find was $75 each, but they were only about twice as big as my goldfish.

Jean wasn’t impressed by one of the koi on sale either. “Actually, these koi aren’t any nicer than 6 ,” she commented. “ 7 they are slightly bigger than the ones I’ve got, I paid considerable less than this.”

I wasn’t quite as enthusiastic as Jean, but I did consider 8 (buy) one. Then I remembered that all but 5 of Freddie Mercury's koi died when someone accidentally turned off the electricity supply to their pool. Jean assured me that with all the new equipment available the survival rate was getting better and better, and that looking 9 koi was no harder than taking care of any other pet. However, in the end I decided to stick with my goldfish. They’re not nearly as beautiful as koi ——but they’re a great deal cheaper 10 (replace) !
