【題目】

It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise.

Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”

“I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits ( 潛水服)

that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.

Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were in the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.

We were about ten meters under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colorful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colors of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred meters under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.

At one hundred meters deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs ( 灌 木 ) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.

We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.

Millions of people in China are taking part in live-streaming ( 直 播 ) quiz shows after they download apps like Chongdingdahui, Huajiao Zhibo and Xigua Shipin. Different from TV quiz shows, anybody with a smartphone can take part in the shows every day, interacting ( 互 動 ) with other players at the same time.

The shows have hosts to present the questions and make the show more lively by telling jokes or giving some background for the questions. Each online player has 10 seconds to answer a question, with each show taking around 20 to 30 minutes. Players can win prizes as small as 1 yuan and as high as more than 40,000 yuan, depending on the total amount ( 數(shù)量) of prize money and the number of winners.

The questions are chosen from a wide range of topics, including literature, geography, maths, biology and so on. For example, players may be asked how many legs crabs have, or what Australia’s national flower is.

To draw new users, the apps offer “redo cards ( 復活卡)” to new players, as well as to those who have invited new players to join. These cards allow players who give wrong answers an extra chance to compete on the show. Millions of people downloaded these game show apps in January. The number of people Huajiao Zhibo attracted was as high as over 4 million.

Players are enjoying turning their knowledge into a chance to win cash prizes. They have also found that they are learning a lot during the process. “I found them really attractive, as I can learn and play at the same time,” said Cao Lei, a 25-year-old user / player from Beijing. “These are all free apps and I stand to win some money. Why not try them out?” It’s not just the questions－and the joy of winning － that have drawn users.
