34、his idea of sharks, however, contains many misconceptions.First, there are about 350 species of shark, and not all of them are large.A second misconception concerns the number and type of teeth, which can vary tremendously among the different species of shark. A shark can have from one to seven sets
35、 of teeth at the same time, and some types of sharks can have several hundred teeth in each jaw.

36、 holding than for cutting and slashing.Finally, not all sharks are predatory animals ready to strike at humans without warning. In fact, 31 only 12 of the 350 species of shark have been known to attack humans, and a shark needs to be provoked in order to attack. The types of shark that have the wors

40、lish worry because they usually called on the Tong household about once a week to deliver a speeding ticket or to serve him notice to appear in court. 33 Most of his accidents were caused by his carelessness.
