题目内容:
In the waters off Brisbane, Australia, a sevenfootlong sand tiger shark swims in pain. A twofootlong spike sticks out of her side. It’s a piece of fishing equipment that the shark ate carelessly. After traveling into her body, the spike punctured(刺) through the shark’s stomach.
A man swimming in the water notices the shark. Then, he warns Sea World Marine Park in the nearby town of Gold Coast. Sea World sends a 12person team from its rescue center to where the shark was discovered in Moreton Bay Marine Park. Soon, they find her lying on the seafloor. “She’ll die without help,”says Trevor Long, leader of the rescue center.
Using an onboard crane(吊车), the rescuers move the shark into their boat’s 13footlong tank(缸). Then Dr. David Blyde gives the shark pain medicine and performs an operation to remove the spike. After that, the team sails with the shark to Sea World 33 miles away. They place the fish in a 49footlong tank and wait to see if she gets better.
To give the shark's stomach time to get better, she isn’t fed for the first few days. A week after her operation, Long offers the shark a small, dead fish. The animal refuses to eat. But days later when he drops another fish into her tank, the shark enjoys her meal. By now the shark’s wounds are getting better.
Two weeks after her rescue, they take the shark back to the boat and return her to Moreton Bay Marine Park. As the fish is lowered by the crane to the water’s surface, two rescuers jump into the ocean and guide her into the sea. From the boat, Long watches her swim away.“The shark has another chance,” Long says.
