66 Days at Sea

A couple 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，in 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 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(船长)carried them onto his boat and took

them to Costa Rica．Their two months at sea was over．

( )52．Bill and Simone were traveling when they met some whales．

(C)

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money．Some of them even lose their

lives for it．Money does have its most useful effect(影响)on the poor，but once a person has a

rich life，a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness．

If money was everything，all millionaires(百万富翁)would have true love，true friendship．

good health and a long life．However，this is not always true．

Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are“I love you”．But can 1ove

be bought ?I’m afraid not．Love means to give，not to take．To every person．health and long

1ife are probably the most precious(宝贵的)things．Well，can health and a long life be bought

with money ?The answer is“No”．

Of all the longest living people in the world．few of them are millionaires．True friendship

can’t be bought either．In a word，where money is worshiped(崇拜)，money can cause brothers

to quarrel，lovers to hate，strangers to fight and so on．No matter how much money you have，it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with，no one to cry for．

( )55．According to the passage，which of the following do you think is right？

A．Money is everything．

C．Money is important，but not the most important．

D．With no money，with no success．

B．You may live a long life even if you are poor．

C．Every year many people die in the world because their family is poor．

D．If you are rich．you will have less friendship．

A．have much money B．die earlier

C．love their money D．have true love
