also tried his best to help them 2.

watching Shark Week, he 4 that people did away with many sharks just to
use their fins (鳍) for 5! It is estimated (估计) that more than 100 million sharks are 6 around the world each year. He could 7 believe this was happening. As Sean's interest

Massachusetts didn't have a10 that prevented shark killing! Sean wrote a
letter to his state representative, David Nangle, asking him to introduce a law
that would 11 shark killing in their state. In his letter,
Sean included a hand drawn shark with its fin 12 for eating. After a few 13,
he was able to speak to Representative Nangle, who agreed to 14 the bill (法案)

America that have forbidden shark killing. Since then, Sean has focused his 15on
helping sharks, working with Shark Biologist, Dr Greg Skomal.

state. And guess what Sean wants to be 17 he grows up. A shark biologist of course!

about something and if you believe you can do it, you should try your best to
