It lives in very cold water near the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean. In these icy waters, the Greenland shark swims only about one mile per hour. That is slower than many human swimmers! The fastest shark, the shortfin mako shark, can swim up to 45 miles per hour. Why is the Greenland shark so slow? Scientists think that it all has to do with their cold water home. When fish are in cold waters, their bodies slow down. Their bodies become cold and their muscles (肌肉) cannot work as well. They cannot move as fast as they can in warm water. Human beings do not experience this because our bodies stay warm even in cold weather. The Greenland shark is also the one that survives the longest. In fact, Greenland sharks don’t even become full adults until they are about 150 years old! Scientists have learned that they live about 400 years. How can Greenland sharks live so long? These sharks eat small amounts of food for their size. A Greenland shark weighing 500 pounds would needless than 7 ounces (盎司) every day! That is less than half a pound of food. They need small amounts of food because they use up energy very slowly. The way we use up energy from food is called metabolism (新陈代谢). 第 3页 共 8页 第 4页 共 8页 ( they know the grammar rules but in fact, they don’t. 64.Students need to learn a lesson from mistakes so that they won’t make them next time. 65.
