The game he liked best was to fly down into the sea and frighten all the fishes. The fishes became very tired of his game. They asked Hemi, the God of the sea, to help them.So Hemi tried to catch Ratu the next time he flew into the sea, but he was too slow. Ratu laughed at Hemi as he flew past him. This made Hemi angry and he had an idea. He asked the fishes to bring him a lot of seaweed. Hemi tied it all together and made a large net from it. Soon Ratu flew down and Hemi threw the net over him. Ratu fought and fought but could not get free. He was caught.Ratu promised (保证) never to frighten fishes again if Hemi would set him free.

They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin. In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened. “Who did this? ”my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen. “This is all your fault, Katharine, ”my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke. From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other.We set a place for blame at the dinner table. But the Whites didnt worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died. In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new drivers license（驾照），Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met. The big sisters shared the driving of Sarahs new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didnt see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car. Jane was killed immediately. I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that Ive ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child. When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amys leg was broken. They hugged（拥抱）us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches（拐杖）. To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “Were so glad that youre alive. ”I was astonished. No blame. No accusations (谴责).Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign. Mrs. White said, “Janes gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sisters death? ”They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. Shes also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.61. The author of the passage is _. A. Mrs. Whites niece B. Janes school friendC. The Whites cousin D. Sarahs friend from college62. How did the authors parents differ from the Whites? A. The authors parents were less caring. B. The authors parents were less loving. C. The authors parents were less friendly. D. The authors parents were less understanding. 63. How did the accident occur? A. Amy didnt stop at a crossroads and a truck hit their car. B. Amy didnt know what to do when she saw the stop sign. C. Amy didnt slow down so their car ran into a truck. D. Amy didnt get off the highway at a crossroads. 64. The accident took place in _. A. Florida B. CaliforniaC. South Carolina D. New York65. The Whites did not blame Amy for Janes death because _.A. they didnt want Amy to feel ashamed and sorry for the rest of her life B. Amy was badly injured herself and they didnt want to add to her painC. they didnt want to blame their children in front of othersD. Amy was their youngest daughter and they loved her best DYi So-yeon, an engineer from Seoul, returned to Earth on Saturday after 11 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS), along with Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and US astronaut Peggy Whitson.A technical problem turned a routine (常规) return to Earth into a sharper than usual descent (下降) that tested the group members stamina and courage. They landed in the Kazakh steppes ( 大草原) about 420km (260 miles) wide of their target.During the descent there was some kind of fire outside the Soyuz capsule because we were going through the atmosphere, Yi said.At first I was afraid, but the two other guys looked okay, so I tried to look okay too.Yi smiled and joked her way through a 10-minute news briefing at Star City, the wooded Sovietera cosmonaut training centre on the edge of Moscow. However, Malenchenko and Whitson looked tired and thin after nearly six months in space. Their answers were short and Whitson needed support to balance when she walked. The 29-year-old Yi has become famous in South Korea since the take-off but she brushed this aside and said she has had little contact with friends or family since returning. In fact, they are the heroes right now, Yi said, referring to Malenchenko and Whitson. Im just a beginner and a little ashamed to say that I am a hero. She did, though, relate a more light-hearted incident on the ISS.I sang Fly Me to the Moon Yi said about the 1950s pop song. Its my favorite song from university although at that time I didnt know I would be an astronaut. The capsules so-called ballistic re-entering made the group members face twice the usual pull from the centre of the earth. The flames Yi described may have been caused by friction (摩擦) heating the capsule as it fell through the atmosphere.Whitson told reporters that Saturdays ballistic landing, was irregular but not an emergency.The Soyuz has been through its history very reliable and there has obviously been some issue in the last couple of descents which went ballistic, but Im sure the engineers will determine what the problems are and get them fixed, she said.In October, a Soyuz capsule carrying Malaysias first space tourist touched down about 200 km (125 miles) off course in a similar ballistic landing caused by a technical problem.The Soyuz is the worlds longest-serving manned space capsule. An early version of the craft, the Vostok, carried the first person into space in 1961.Whitson, 48, has become the American with the longest amount of time in space with 377 days.66. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. Flight in space is very dangerousB. Not everybody can go into spaceC. Fearful landing tests the Korean astronautD. Yi di
