There was an encunter that later sparked scientists’ investigatins int using jellyfish as a greater surce f fd, as well as a ptential ingredient in medicines and nutraceuticals. In the summer f 2013, while Stefan Pirain was wandering alng the rcky shreline, he nticed a washed-up jellyfish. Then, he tre ff a piece and put it in his muth. It was salty, crunchy and crispy frm the sun. “It was very tasty, ” remembers Pirain, a zlgist. After a few days f lying n the shre, their stinging cells (刺细胞) are deactivated, Pirain explains. Still, he warns that peple shuld nt eat jellyfish straight ut f the sea, because raw jellyfish cntains bacteria that can cause fd pisning.
Recently, there have been numerus reprts f jellyfish blms — seasnal events where there is a large and sudden increase in jellyfish numbers. These ppulatin explsins break the balance f cean ecsystems, and have the ptential t harm bidiversity and reduce fish stcks.
Sme scientists, such as Pirain, believe ne slutin is bradening ur palates (口味) since the wrld is in urgent need f sustainable fd resurces. Jellyfish can be integrated int traditinal recipes and lcal cuisine. Nt nly are they high in prtein, but the micralgae inside the cells f sme jellyfish are rich in fatty acids. In fact, jellyfish is already eaten acrss Asia. In China, jellyfish has been eaten fr mre than 1, 000 years, with jellyfish salad a ppular delicacy.
Jnathan Hughtn, a senir lecturer in marine bilgy, believes that jellyfish can be a better surce f cllagen (胶原蛋白). There are a number f cmpanies already using jellyfish as a substitute (替代品) fr cw and pig cllagen, which is ften used in medical treatments fr humans. One British cmpany says cllagen frm jellyfish ffers a better chice, because their cllagen can wrk with a wide variety f human cell types.
8. What did Pirain d with the washed-up jellyfish he fund n the shreline?
A. He just ignred it.
B. He ate a piece f it.
C. He tk it hme fr research.
D. He warned peple against tuching it.
9. Why des Pirain warn peple nt t eat jellyfish directly frm the sea?
A. Because they are tasteless when raw
B. Because their stinging cells are active.
C. Because they cntain dangerus bacteria.
D. Because they are t salty, crunchy and crispy.
10. What des the underlined wrd “blms” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Reductin
B. Transfrmatin.
C. Cntrl.
D. Rise.
11. What is the main idea f the passage?
A. Jellyfish is a tasty delicacy in Asia.
B. Eating jellyfish can be harmful t peple.
C. Jellyfish’s ppulatin affects cean ecsystems.
D. Jellyfish can be a fd surce and medical treatment.

In the summer f 2013, while Stefan Pirain was wandering alng the rcky shreline, he nticed a washed-up jellyfish. Then, he tre ff a piece and put it in his muth. It was salty, crunchy and crispy frm the sun. “It was very tasty, ” remembers Pirain, a zlgist. After a few days f lying n the shre, their stinging cells (刺细胞) are deactivated, Pirain explains.
