25、ars off shore and heads for the bathers. Before it can get close to the swimmers, the shark, for some mysterious reason, starts swimming parallel to the beach. Then it turns away from the shore and heads out to sea, leaving the swimmers untouched. Such a scene will soon become common along shark-in-
26、fasted (鲨鱼成群的 ) shores. An electrical engineer from the University of Pretoria has developed an electrical system that repels (击退 ) sharks by controlling their movements. Confused by this action, the sharks end up turning away from the beach. In this unusual shark-repellent method, an insulated (绝缘的
27、 ) cable is buried on the bottom of the sea around a beach where people swim. When an electric current is sent through the cable, an electric field is produced in the water above the cable. When shark swims into the electric field, nerve cells just below the shark s skin will sense the field. The el
28、ectricity produces a reflex (反射作用 ) action in the shark s muscles, causing the dangerous animal to swim parallel to the cable.

29、ew shark-repellent system, a cable was placed around a beach in St. Lucia, an island around the beach a long time ago to keep sharks away from swimmers, and a net was left in place during the experiment.
