     It can be dangerous to travel by sea. Ships sometimes sink far away from land. When this happens,
the sailors (水手) have to get into small boats. If another ship does not come and help them and they do
not have enough food or water, they may die.
      Most people believe we must not drink sea water. They believe that if we do, we shall be very ill
because of all the salt in the water. A doctor called Alain Bombard did not believe this. He thought that
people could stay alive by drinking sea water and eating small fish, animals, and plants from the sea. On
19 October 1953, he set out in a small boat to cross the Atlantic Ocean. He did not take any food or water
with him. 
     Every day Dr. Bombard drank just a little sea water. He also caught fish and they had water in them.
He took small plants from the sea, which gave him more food.
     Dr. Bombard became hot, tired and quite ill, but after 65 days at sea he was still alive. He traveled
2750 miles from one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other, and on 24 December 1953, he reached
Barbados.
     He lost 20 kilos, but he showed that people could live on sea water and animals and plants in the sea.

1. What is this story mainly about?

A. Drinking sea water.
B. A dying sailor.
C. A clever doctor.
D. A happy journey.
2. Alain Bombard was _______.

A. an old sailor
B. a fisherman
C. a teacher
D. a doctor

3. He went across_________ in 1953.
A. many countries
B. a large ocean
C. a ship
D. a small town
4. He wanted to show that _________.
A. sea water was dangerous
B. fish and plants were good for people
C. people could drink seawater and not die
D. sailors often died when they were traveling on the sea

     It was already late when we started going to the next town. It was about 15 miles away on the other
 side of the hill. There we felt sure that we would find a bed for the night. Darkness fell along the narrow
  road to the hill. As we climbed higher, it became colder and rain began to fall. It was difficult at times to
  see the road, so I asked my friend John to drive slowly.
     We travelled for about 20 miles but we couldn't find the town. We were beginning to feel worried.
  Then the car stopped. We found that we were out of petrol (汽油), so we decided to spend the night in
  the car.
     After eating some bread, I tried to go to sleep at once, but John, a poor sleeper, got out of the car after
  a few minutes and went for a walk up the hill. Soon, he came running back. From the top of the hill he
 saw the lights of the town in the valley below. At once, we tried to push the car to the top of the hill. In
 less than an hour we were in the town, and we found a hotel there easily.
