Tim Welford, aged 33, and Dom Mee, aged 30, both from England, were keen on (=like...

very much) rowing boats. They made a plan to row across the Pacific Ocean from Japan to

San Francisco. The name of their rowboat was “Crackers”. It was about seven meters long.

They set out from Japan on May 17,2001. They had rowed nearly 5,500 miles when

their boat was hit by a fishing ship on September 17,2001. Luckily they both escaped

unharmed, but their boat was badly damaged and they had to abandon( = stop)their

journey.

In a radio interview, Dom expressed his disappointment and explained how the

accident took place.

“A fishing ship came towards us with nobody on the bridge and ran us down. It all

happened so quickly. I managed to dive into the water. Tim felt it would be safer to stay on

board. He was trapped inside as the boat was driven under the water. Finally some people

appeared on the ship and saw me in the water. I shouted at them to stop the ship and to get

Tim out. When the ship stopped, I eventually saw Tim, and I was very, very disappointed

that we were still alive. We were very disappointed that we couldn't reach San Francisco.

But we are alive. That above everything is the most important. ”

My husband had just bought a new washing machine for me. I decided to use it the very

day and I washed a lot of things.

Everything worked well, but I found one of my husband's socks(短袜) missing.

I looked

everywhere for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students

came in. I greeted them and told them what we were going to do that day. When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class burst into a roar (大笑声)!

They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid
