二、阅读理解。
Most people don’t know blobfish (水滴鱼). They are the world’s ugliest animal.
Blobfish live in the sea near Australia. Most of the time, they stay in the water from 600 m to 1,200 m deep. When some little fish swim past them, they try to catch them for food. They can grow up to 30 cm long. They have very large heads, small bodies and thin tails. They look like a large jelly (果冻). So they get their name.

People don’t eat blobfish, because they are not good for people to eat. But fishermen kill thousands of them each year when they catch other fish in the sea. Scientists are worried that this will put the blobfish on the list of animals in danger.
