Read the passage and answer the questions below.

The shark is a meat-eating fish and one of the most feared animals of the sea. Scientists identified about 250 species of fish as sharks. These fish live in oceans throughout the world, but they are most common in warm seas.

Sharks vary greatly in size and habits. Whale sharks, the largest kind of shark, may grow 60 feet long. A whale shark weighs up to 15 tons, more than twice as much as an African elephant. The smallest shark may measure only 4 inches long and weigh less than 1 ounce. Some kinds of sharks live in the depth of the oceans, but others are found near the surface. Some species live in coastal waters, but others dwell far out at sea. A few species can even live in fresh water.

All sharks are carnivores ( meat-eaters). Most of them eat live fish, including other sharks. A shark’s only natural enemy is a larger shark. Sharks eat their prey whole, or tear off large chunks of flesh. They also feed on dead or dying animals.

What is the length and weight of the largest kind shark?

1. 60 feet long and 15 tons
2. 65 feet long and 10 tons
3. 70 feet long and 15 tons
4. 65 feet long and 15 tons

Many people now think that teachers give students too much home­work. They say that it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not prop­erly plan the homework tasks they give to students. The result is that students have to repeat tasks which they have already done at school.

Recently in Greece many parents complained about the difficult home­work which teachers gave to their children. The parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted to stop it. Spain and Turkey are two countries which stopped homework recently. In Denmark, Germany and several other countries in Europe, teachers cannot set homework at weekends. In Holland, teachers allow students to stay at school to do their homework. The children are free to help one another. Similar arrangements also exist in some British schools.
