Haikou: A shark was killed after being dragged to shore at Yalong Berth beach in Sanya, South China’s Hainan Province, on Sunday afternoon.
It was the first time a shark had been caught in the beach area, a popular tourist site in Hainan.
Local fishermen said they caught the 3-meter-long, l-ton shark by chance when they were fishing in seawater 1,000 meters deep near the beach.
Police temporarily（暂时）protected the shark while oceanographers decided whether it was a species belonging to State protection.
Fishermen later killed and sold the shark after oceanographers confirmed that it was a whale shark and therefore not under State protection.
The shark was believed to have drifted into the area from the deep sea due to strong waves caused last week by Typhoon Imbudo. It had no open injuries but experts said they believed it suffered from internal（内部的）bleeding.
Local police officer Fu Chenggeng said beachgoers should not feel threatened by sharks because the fish never attack human beings on their own initiative. Fu said he had never heard of any shark attacks at the Sanya beach since he first started work there eight years ago.
However, police said they would improve the security system to safeguard tourists’ safety on the beach.
1. A possible title of the article should be.( )
A. Tourists in Danger B. Killing Whale Shark
C. Shark Caught in Beach Area D. Whale Shark in Danger
2. From the article it can be learned.( )
A. the shark was caught because of obvious injuries
B. the number of the whale shark may be small
C. Typhoon Imbudo may have brought the shark to the area
D. it’s not unusual to see a shark on the beach
3. The underlined word“confirmed”probably means.( )
A. said B. believed C. thought D. made sure

【励志故事】
人生最好的教育
一个还在上中学的女孩，因为母亲得了重病，为了减轻家庭负担，就希望利用暑假时间打工挣点钱。她来到一家公司应聘，那家公司看了她的简历没怎么考虑就拒绝了她。女孩收回自己的材料，用手掌撑了一下椅子站起来，觉得手被扎了一下。低头一看原来椅子上有一颗钉子露出了头。她见桌子上有一条镇纸石，于是拿起来用它将钉子敲平，然后转身离去。可是几分钟后，公司经理却派人将她追了回来。她被聘用了。
一个在爱中长大的人，他最好的回报也是爱。当爱促使一个人去做他很难做到的事情时，这足以证明爱的力量！
而在一件很细小的、与自己无关的事情上也能体现出对别人体贴和关心的人，他所受到的爱的教育无疑是成功的。
