Days at Sea
Two brothers from Miami, Bill and Simone Bultler, spent sixty-six days in a life-raft (救生艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.
Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Siboney, they met some whales. “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water — two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw (生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks (鲨鱼) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”
About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up. So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.

Our surroundings（环境） are being polluted faster than man’s present efforts to prevent pollution. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities and the growing use of man-made materials（材料）. What can explain and solve the problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man─by his desire（欲望）for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialisation（工业化) our chief aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant (连续不断的) flow（流动） of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of our modern society. But as our technological achievements (成就) have grown in the last twenty years,
pollution has become a serious problem. Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going─and why? It makes one think of the story of the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we are making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we are lost and can’t know where we are going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when we speak of our modern society.

Nowadays, most of us live a busy life. What do you do to keep yourself relaxed? Besides spending time with family, having a glass of wine with friends or reading a book, how about a hobby?
Personally, I’m a collector. I like blue and white pieces the best—blue and white anything! Plates, jars(罐子), vases, cups, bowls— I find collecting to be a fun and inspirational（鼓舞人心的） hobby. In many ways, it’s like a puzzle I’m never tired of solving. I look high and low for new pieces to add to my collection. I can often be found visiting Marshell’s, looking over their inexpensive offerings. In fact, I found one of my favourite pieces there.
I’ve mixed inexpensive pieces from Marshell’s with more expensive finds. A lot of times, it’s the piece I’m not looking for that falls into my lap; I find a way to make it part of my blue and white family. What I love about my collection is that when I get inspired, I can move them around the house, mix and match and make things look fresh and new. Ever since I was a little girl, blue has been my favourite colour. I think I got it from my aunt in Mexico. Some of my earliest memories are visiting her in Mexico and sitting on a chair in her kitchen, which had blue and white tiles (瓷砖) from the floor to the ceiling. I would spend countless hours admiring all the beautiful blue and white plates and shiny blue tiles around her kitchen. Once I had a home, I began to build my own blue and white collection.
9. We can infer（推断）that in the writer’s opinion, _______.
A. having a hobby can help us relax
B. reading a book alone is really boring
C. keeping a hobby is not easy for most of people
D. having a glass of wine with friends is not a good idea

D. Once you start collecting things, it’s hard to stop.
11. If something falls into your lap, it means you _______.
A. have been looking for it
C. get it unexpectedly B. don’t know what it is D. like it very much
12. What’s the last paragraph（段落） mainly about? _______
A. When the writer started collecting things.
B. When the writer started liking blue and white things.
C. What kind of things the writer collected first.
D. Why the writer liked the blue and white things so much.

A few months ago, millions of people in London heard alarms all over the town. The Emergency（紧急情况） Services, the Fire Departments, the Police, hospitals, and ambulances（救护车） stood by, ready to go into action. In railway underground stations, people read notices and maps that told them where to go and what to do in the emergency.
This was Exercise Flood Call, to prepare people for a flood emergency. London wasn’t flooded yet, but it is possible that it would be. In 1236 and in 1663, London was badly flooded. In 1928, people living in Westminster, the heart of London, drowned （溺水）in floods. And in 1953, one hundred people, living on the eastern edge of the London suburbs were killed, again, in the floods.

If it happens, 50 underground stations will be under water. Electricity, gas and phone services will be out of action. Roads will be drowned. It will be impossible to cross any of the bridges between north and south London. Imagine London will look like the famous Italian city, Venice. But this Exercise Flood Call didn’t cause panic among Londoners. Most people knew it was just a warning. One lady said, “It’s a flood warning, isn’t it? The water doesn’t look high to me. ”
