There are many dangerous sea creatures in the world.The following are some examples.

The needlefish are commonly seen living near the surface of tropical (热带的) waters.But they can also break__cover the water，and once in the air they can become dangerous flying swords.Though it is rare，people have been seriously hurt and even killed when stabbed by the fish's sharp and long jaws (下巴)．Night fishermen in small boats are at particular risk because their lights may attract the fish.

Saltwater crocodiles are the world's largest crocodiles，sometimes reaching 23 feet in length and topping 2，200 pounds.Yet these crocodiles hunt quietly，lying in wait below shoreline waters to attack crabs，turtles and thirsty animals that have come to drink.Saltwater crocodiles kill a number of people each year.

There is no doubt that the great white shark sits atop the ocean food chain.The world's largest fish can weigh at over 5，000 pounds and reach lengths of more than 20 feet.Great white sharks have about 3，000 teeth，which they typically sink into sea lions，seals，small toothed whales，and sea turtles.These sharks are responsible for a third to a half of the 100 shark attacks on humans every year.

The sea anemone (海葵) may look like the beautiful flower for which it's named，but fish that swim too close may regret it.The sea anemone，which lives on the sea floor，uses its poisonous tentacles (触须) to stab passing creatures with a kind of poison—making them helpless and fit to be eaten.

The surgeonfish (刺尾鱼) is an attractive reef fish that is poisonous.Scientists believe that the world's seas hold some 1，200 different surgeonfish species and think that they injure about 50，000 people per year.But the surgeonfish poison can also bring great benefit—they are useful in the development of new drugs.

A pair of new couple (夫妇) has proved how easy it is to get married on a budget，by celebrating their wedding for ￡1.Georgina Porteous and Sid Innes organized their perfect day for family and friends，complete with rings，flowers，a cake and even a photographer to capture (记录下) the great occasion，who showed up to record the occasion after Georgina，...a part－time film editor，offered to work for him in return.

They also hosted a reception with a picnic，drinks，jazz music and dance，all on their unbelievably low budget.However，apart from the ￡ 70 they had to pay by law for their marriage fees，their only expense was a pound on Georgina's second－hand wedding gown (礼服)，with everything else donated or sourced for free.

It's reported that the average cost of a wedding in the UK is up to ￡20，000.However，Georgina said，“I didn't see the point in spending a huge amount of money on weddings，considering the day was supposed to be about marrying the person you loved and for us all that mattered was that we were becoming husband and wife.We didn't want or need a big，fancy affair.”

Georgina met singer－songwriter Sid at an art celebration in 2009，proposed (求婚) in Berlin last year，and then they started planning their big day.As they are both crazy about recycling，they decided to keep their wedding as simple as possible.Georgina said，“We wanted a small and cheap wedding，which was a natural thing for us.We enjoyed doing something a little different from everyone else，being excited to plan it all.”

Their wedding took place in a barn (农屋) behind the couple's cottage.Georgina looked pretty in her wedding gown.Georgina' s mother Susanne，a church reader，conducted the ceremony in front of 70 guests；each of them had been asked to bring food and drink.After the wedding picnic，everyone partied the night away.
