This American came

30、from London, and he wanted to do something good for the old town. And ,I have heard,you cant apply if your hair is light red, or dark red,or anything but real bright,blazing,fiery red.

43、sland. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”“I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits(潜水服) that used special air tanks.

47、quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical(垂直的).

48、 large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy.
