There were two lovers. The man was 41  cowardly(膽小的) that he always let the girlfriend try first everything   42  they would do. His girlfriend was not so  43  with that.

Once they went out to sea. After returning , their boat was  44  by the storm. Luckily, the girlfriend held a  45  to save their lives. The girlfriend asked her boyfriend, "Do you  46 ?" The boyfriend  took out a fruit knife and said, "Yes, but if any shark comes I can  47  it with this." His girlfriend only shook her head with a cold smile.

Soon a great number of people on a  48  found them. Suddenly a group of sharks appeared. His girlfriend  49  , “Let's swim hard together and we'll be all right.”

But her boyfriend suddenly pushed the girl into the sea, held the wood and shouted to the ship by himself, "Let me try  50  this time!"

51  ,his girlfriend looked at her boyfriend. The sharks were drawing near, but they were not interested in the girl and swam  52 to the boy. When he was torn and bitten fiercely by the sharks, the boyfriend 53  shouted to his girlfriend, “ I love you!”

The girl was saved. All the people on the deck（甲板） were standing in silence. The captain sat beside the girl and said, "Miss, he is the  54 man I have  55  seen. Let's pray（祈禱） for him."

"No! He is a  56  , "said the girl coldly.

"How could you say like this? I have just been watching you 57  the telescope(望遠(yuǎn)鏡). I saw clearly he  58  his wrist（手腕） with the knife after pushing you away. The sharks are very sensitive to the 59 .  If he hadn't done this to  60  time. I'm afraid you would never appear on this ship…"

    I went to my house and made everything   1   for the battle as before. Then I decided to  2   myself to the three prisoners, and    3   something about them.

    “Gentlemen,” I said again, “don’t be   10   at me; perhaps you may have a friend near you when you didn’t   11   it.”

    “The friend must be sent from   12   , then,” said one of them   13   , “because no man can do anything to help us.”

    “I’m an Englishman,” I said, “and I want to help you. I have one servant only,   14   we have guns and powder. Tell me freely. Can we help you? What has   15   to you?”

    “I was the captain of that ship,” replied one of the prisoners. “My man   16   up against me. At one time they meant to kill me, but now they have   17   me on shore in this   18   place, and these two men with me. One of these men is my office, and   19   is a passenger on this ship.”

    “Have they any guns?” I asked．He answered that they had only two guns and one which they had left in the boat—that is, three  20

語篇理解

　　A warm,dusty wind was blowing over the harbour(海港) from the south.Where it stopped,it left a thin layer of fine African sand,a bit of unwanted Africa,and also unwanted by France.

　　Clive stood with Dick,a racing driver,in the ship,watching the cars being taken from the land.Some of the cars were already in the ship.

　　‘I hope this wind will have changed by the time we get there,’the driver said,staring up at the cream-coloured sky.‘These conditions wouldn't be any good for racing’.

　　‘Don’t worry,’Clive said with a smile.‘It'll hardly trouble us,since Argentina is about 7,000 miles away.’

　　Surprise came over the driver’s face.‘Is that so? We should leave it behind then,shouldn’t we?’

　　They talked for a while about Argentina.Clive was going on business,but Dick was to take part in a motor-race.It was his first important event outside Europe.He mentioned the date of the race December 30,and added,‘I’ve never raced in cold winter before.’

　　Their conversation was then turned to the young driver.He was an engineer,twenty-six years old.Motor-racing was his great love,and he was recently driving a car made in France.He spoke well enough,so Clive thought he must have had a good education.However,something seemed to have gone wrong or was different these days.Here he was ,going to Argentina,but without much idea where the country was .When he spoke of a cousin of his who worked in South Africa ‘Is there any chance of this ship calling there?’ Clive realized that the young man had no map of the world in his mind.

　　He had plans to race in South Africa and in Japan.To him,they were places on the earth,and probably that was all.Clive was interested because the man seemed cheerfully unconscious of his lack of knowledge.What was worse,he even thought everyone else was as foolish as him.

　　Dust blew into their faces.“This wind from Africa…”but he did not go on .Was there any point of his saying so?To the young man,it might have been the same as a wind from China.Were there many people,he wondered,who did not know where they were going,or even where they were?
