We see a woman swimming at night in a dark sea. Suddenly, she is pulled underwater. She surfaces, cries in fear, then disappears forever. This is the opening scene from the 1975 film Jaws, showing a shark attack. It tells the story of a great white shark that attacks and kills swimmers. Jaws was a great success, attracting huge audiences and winning many awards. It strengthened people’s long-held idea of the great white shark as a dangerous animal.
People have always been scared of sharks, but Jaws made things worse. It made people frightened of sharks, especially of the great white shark. Many people who saw the film started to believe that sharks were bad animals that ate humans. Some people stopped swimming in the sea, afraid of the horrible creature from the film. Other people started fishing for sharks, killing as many as they could. At that time, nobody cared if sharks were killed, or how many were killed. People just wanted them killed.
After 1975, the number of large sharks around America fell quickly, and soon fell around the world. This was not only due to fear of sharks, but also finning. Finning is a type of fishing where sharks are caught and their fins cut off. The sharks are thrown back into the sea where they die slowly and painfully. The fins are used in shark fin soup. Finning kills millions of sharks a year.
Finning would have an unexpected effect upon Peter Benchley, the man who wrote the book the film Jaws was based on. In 1980, Benchley was diving when he came across an awful sight, It was an area where fishermen were finning, and the sea floor was covered with dead sharks. Benchley saw sharks being killed and this caused a deep change in him.
He came to see people as a danger to sharks, rather than the other way round. From that day on, he fought to protect sharks. He admitted that his book was wrong about sharks’ behaviour.“Sharks don’t target humans,”he said. Experts have proved that sharks do not see people as food, and they attack us by mistake. Only around six people are killed by sharks every year.
Fortunately, not everyone who watched the film Jaws became afraid of sharks - some became interested in understanding them. Today, as we learn more about sharks, more people than ever want to protect them from extinction.

Think & Share
1 How do you think Peter Benchley felt after diving in 1980
He might feel sad for the sharks being killed; he might feel regretful for depicting the great white shark as a dangerous animal in his book; he might also feel angry about finning.
2 What other films or books do you know that feature wild animals Do they “paint”a good or bad picture of these animals Say how the animals are described.
A film—March of the Penguins（《帝企鹅日记》）. It“paints”a good picture of penguins. This is a film that really reflects the life of the penguins. The climate of the north of the Antarctic continent is mild and the food is adequate; while the south is covered with snow, the climate is cold and the food is short. But the southern part has its advantages. There is no natural enemy. In order for the penguins to grow up healthily, the penguins’ parents are coming from the north to the south to hatch the little penguin eggs every year. The penguins’ parents take turns to work for hatching eggs and looking for food. How hard we can imagine the weak penguins are doing these tasks every year.
A book—My Wild Animal Friend（《我的野生动物朋友》）. It“paints”a good picture of many wild animals in Africa. It tells the moving story and personal experience of Tippi Degre when she returns to Paris at the age of 10. At the same time, more than 130 rare pictures taken by her parents，the famous wildlife photographers, are included, which can not only be appreciated，but also arouse people’s awareness of protecting natural wildlife.
