Finally, in March of 1703, the Adventure set sail for India. The winds were good until we got near Madagascar, an island off the east coast of Africa. Then a strong wind began to blow. We were trapped in the wind for twenty days. After many hours, the wind finally stopped and the sea became quieter. The storm had blown the Adventure hundreds of kilometers to the east.

"Where are we?" I asked the captain(船长).

"I can't tell for sure." He said, "we are running out of water. We must reach land soon to fill our water barrels(桶). " Many days passed and we saw nothing but the sea. One morning, before everyone died of thirst, a sailor cried out, "Land!" Everyone on the ship was silent for a second. And quickly the ship sailed closer to the land. The sailors suddenly became tumultuous and all cheered.

"You men," said the captain to the sailors, "take the rowboats(划艇) and go. Fill the water barrels with fresh water."

"Captain," I said, "may I go with them to take a look at this place?"

"Of course," he replied. "You can tell me later what it is like."

When the rowboats reached the coast, one of the sailors said, "we will have to walk along the coast to look for fresh water."

"I'm going to take a little walk," I told them. "I will meet you back here in an hour."

I walked about a kilometer, enjoying being on land again. Then I turned and walked back to meet the sailors.

When I arrived on the beach, the sailors were not there. They were in the rowboats, rowing as fast as they could toward the Adventure. I was going to shout out to them when I saw a very huge man walking through the sea. I was trying to catch up with the rowboats. The sailors were almost at the ship, and I could see that the huge man would not be able to catch them. Instead, it was coming towards me. Great fear went through my mind.

47. What happened when they got near the east coast of Africa?

A. They decided to set sail for India.    B. The captain lost his sense of direction.

C. A storm came and blew the ship heavily.   D. The captain couldn't tell where they were.

48. What does the underlined word "tumultuous" most probably mean?

A. sad    B. excited    C. bored     D. relaxed

49. Why did the writer get off the ship after reaching the land?

A. Because he planned to help get fresh water for everyone.

B. Because he got tired of travelling and decided to live on the land.

C. Because he wanted to take a walk and look around.

D. Because he was looking for the huge man on the land.

50. What would most probably happen next?

A. The writer saw the sailors were caught by the huge man.

B. The sailors failed to get on the ship because it was too far away

C. The writer tried to run away as fast as possible.

D. The huge man caught the captain and controlled the ship.

Firstly, it's important for everyone to take care of the environment. For example, it's good manners not to drop litter everywhere. We should also remember not to pick flowers.

Secondly, everyone should do something to save natural resources, such as taking shorter showers and turning off the lights when leaving a room. Otherwise, our natural resources will soon run out.

Finally, all the members are encouraged to help each other. Chinese people believe that it's luckier to have helpful neighbors than relatives living far away. We can live through difficult times more easily by helping our community members.
