Michael Muller’s day job is photographing Hollywood stars, like Brad Pitt, but his hobby is much more exciting: He
chases big sharks with his camera! When he was eight years old, Muller, using his first camera, took a picture of a shark
he found in Life magazine. “My friends thought that I took it myself. I never forgot the horror in their eyes when they saw
the shark.”
Now, aged 42, he is down with the sharks as often as he can be.
“You have to look them straight in the eye and touch their nose and mouth with the camera,” he says, of his close-up
technique. “That irritates them. Then you’re safe.” He admits to being scared sometimes. On one shoot, a member of his
team suddenly disappeared underwater, and Muller, visibly unsettled as he recalls the moment, “ really thought he was
dead,” but it was a false alarm.
His dealings with sharks have also helped Muller to put into perspective a group of predators he encounters working

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species(CITES) took place in Doha, Qatar, between March
12 and 25, 2010. The representatives of 175 member nations discussed several animal species that are in danger of
becoming extinct because of trade, both legal and illegal. CITES secretary-general Willem Wijnstekers said, “If we use
tiger numbers as a performance indicator, then we must admit that we have failed miserably.” Human encroaching and
illegal trade in tiger parts have contributed to the fall in their numbers from 100,000 at the beginning of the 20th century
to around 3,600 today.
Bans were proposed on legal trading in certain species. Japan is the largest importer of the Atlantic bluefin tuna. The
fish is the key ingredient in sushi, a Japanese delicacy. Stocks of this fish have fallen by 75% due to widespread
overfishing. Monaco, a European nation, proposed a ban on fishing. The World Wildlife Fund world call for restaurants,
retailers, chefs and consumers around the world to stop selling, serving, buying and eating the endangered fish.
The USA proposed a ban on the international sale of polar bear skins. Their population, now between 20,000 and
25,000, could go down by one-third by the year 2050. This is because climate change is destroying their natural habitat.
CITES members opposed the ban saying the threat to the habitat was not connected with trade. They also said that polar
bear hunting was a regulated activity and that it was a source of livelihood to many people.
【題組】46 How long did the CITES meeting in Doha last?
(A) 12 days (B) 14 days (C) 20 days (D) 25 days
【題組】48 What is the article mainly about?

【題組】50 Which of the following is NOT a view held by CITES about polar bears?
(A) Hunting of polar bears should be banned.
(B) Many people earn their living by hunting the bears.
(C) Polar bear hunting is under control.
