Question

The Johnson family from England believe they are lucky to be alive after surviving an incredible incident off the coast of Australia. The Johnsons had been 1 that they might see some whales when they were 2 a yacht—a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing 3 around the Whitsunday Islands. 4, they had no clue just how 5 their viewing would be. Two hours into their journey a nine-meter-long humpback whale 6 out of the ocean and crashed into their boat before returning to the water.
　　Mark Johnson，the eldest son，was sailing the yacht when he heard an immense bang and a thud (重?fù)袈?. He 7 thought the yacht had hit a rock. But when he looked up, he saw the whale 8 down the deck of the boat. He told the reporters, “We were staring into its right eye. It was a very 9 moment. The eye was about the 10 of a dinner plate. It was huge!”
　　11 for the Johnson family, no one was hurt, but the yacht suffered 12 damage. The whale had ruined the mast and rigging—the pole and ropes which hold the 13 —and so the family was left with no way at sea, 10 miles from the shore. The 14 equipment was also damaged, but fortunately they had a cell phone and were able to call for help.
　　Why the whale jumped onto the yacht is a 15，but the family thinks that maybe the boat had not 16 sailed between the whale and its baby calf. Perhaps the whale was trying to 17 its calf when it jumped, and hit the yacht by accident.
　　18 the reason, people are completely 19 that this incident happened. There is over 135 million square miles of ocean, so what are the 20 of a whale jumping onto a 30-foot-long yacht? The possibility of something like this happening is extremely small, but it just shows that life is full of surprises.
