24、South Africa beach. Suddenly a huge shark appears off shore and heads for the bathers. Before it can get close to the swimmers, the shark, for some mysterious reason, starts swimming parallel to the beach. Then it turns away from the shore and heads out to sea, leaving the swimmers untouched.Such a
25、scene will soon become common along shark-in-fasted (鲨鱼成群的) shores. An electrical engineer from the University of Pretoria has developed an electrical system that repels (击退) sharks by controlling their movements. Confused by this action, the sharks end up turning away from the beach.In this unusual
26、 shark-repellent method, an insulated (绝缘的 ) cable is buried on the bottom of the sea around a beach where people swim. When an electric current is sent through the cable, an electric field is produced in the water above the cable.When shark swims into the electric field, nerve cells just below the
27、shark s skin will sense the field. The electricity produces a reflex (反射作用) action in the shark s muscles, causing the dangerous animal to swim parallel to the cable. Confused by increasing loss of control of its muscles, the shark suddenly changes its direction and heads seaward, away from the elec
28、tric field.In a test of the invisible new shark-repellent system, a cable was placed around a beach in St. Lucia, an island around the beach a long time ago to keep sharks away from swimmers, and a net was left in place during the experiment.When the electric field was left on for more than a year a
29、nd a half, no sharks were found in the net. However, when the power was turned off,89 sharks ended up in the net.Using the electric-wall method instead of net to protect bathers would avoid the needless death of many sharks, said biologists. Currently, thousands of sharks die each year when they bec

About 10 to 15 humans are killed by sharks annually.59Why doesn t the shark attack the swimmers according to the passage?ABecause there are so many swimmers in the water.BBecause the shark isnt so hungry as to eat
