Dan s brother John offered to go instead though he did not know anything about sailing. Mark agreed and they set out to sea.Soon they found themselves in a thick fog.

As he was getting onto the buoy, however, he dropped the wet rope(绳子). The boat moved away in the fog, carrying John who didnt know how to use the radio. He: drifted about(飘泊) and was not seen until twelve hours later.Mark spent the night on the buoy. In the early morning he fell asleep. He was having a bad dream when a shout woke him up. A ship, Californian, came up and he climbed onto it and thanked the captain. The captain told him & at John had been picked up by another ship and the ships captain had sent out a message.

One out of every six Americans works at putting together :the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas(煤气). Americans won t live without cars!Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be without a car. However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. The polluted air is poisonous(有毒的) and dangerous to health.One way to get rid of(排除) the polluted air is to build a new kind of car. Thats what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.Another way is to take the place of the car engine(发动机) by something else. Engineers are now working on some new cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we11 have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their cars. They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean.But this change does not come easily - a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment(失业).Although cars have brought us a better life, they have also brought us new problems. 56.
