§Lesson 10 The loss of the Titanic “泰坦尼克“号的沉没
What would havehappened if only two of the sixteen water-tight compartments had been flooded?
The great ship,Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th, 1912. She wascarrying 1316 passengers and a crew of 89l. Even by modern standards, the46,000 ton Titanic was a colossal ship. At that time, however, she was not onlythe largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, forshe had sixteen watertight compartments. Even if two of these were flooded, shewould still be able to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner willalways be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss oflife.
Four days aftersetting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the NorthAtlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a look-out. After the alarmhad been given, the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision. TheTitanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice whichrose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly, there was a slighttrembling sound from below, and the captain went down to see what had happened.The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the ship had been damaged.Below, the captain realized to his horror that the Titanic was sinking rapidly,for five of her sixteen watertight compartments had already been flooded! Theorder to abandon ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into the icywater. As there were not enough life-boats for everybody, 1500 lives were lost.

§ Lesson 11 Not guilty 无罪
Q: What was theCustoms Officer looking for?
Customs Officersare quite tolerant these days, but they can still stop you when you are goingthrough the Green Channel and have nothing to declae. Even really honest peopleare often made to feel guilty. The hardened professional smuggler, on the otherhand, is never troubled by such feelings, even if he has five hundred goldwatches hidden in his suitcase. When I returned from abroad recently, aparticularly officious young Customs Officer clearly regarded me as a smuggler.
'Have you anythingto declare?' he asked, looking me in the eye.
'No,' I answeredconfidently.
'Would you mindunlocking this suitcase please ?'
'Not at all,' Ianswered.
The Officer wentthrough the case with great care. All the things I had packed so carefully weresoon in a dreadful mess. I felt sure I would never be able to close the caseagain. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up. He had spotted a tinybottle at the bottom of my case and he pounced on it with delight.
'Perfume, eh?' heasked sarcastically. 'You should have declared that. ' Perfume is not exemptfrom import duty.'
'But it isn'tperfume,' I said.' It's hair-oil.' Then I added with a smile,' It's a strangemixture I make myself.'
As I expected, hedid not believe me.
'Try it!' I said encouragingly.
The Officerunscrewed the cap and put the bottle to his nostrils. He was greeted by anunpleasant smell which convinced him that I was telling the truth. A fewminutes later, I was able to hurry away with precious chalk-marks on mybaggage.

§ Lesson 12 Life on a desert island 荒岛生活
What wasexceptional about the two men’s stay on the desert island?
Most of us haveformed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. We sometimes imaginea desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun always shines. Lifethere is simple and good. Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have towork. The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. Life on a desertisland is wretched. You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, waitingfor a boat which never comes. Perhaps there is an element of truth in boththese pictures, but few of us have had the opportunity to find out.
Two men whorecently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer.They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to haveit repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly loadeda small rubber dinghy with food, matches, and tins of beer and rowed for a fewmiles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. Therewere hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did notprove to be a problem. The men collected rain-water in the rubber dinghy. Asthey had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat. They caughtlobster and fish every day, and, as one of them put it 'ate like kings'. When apassing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry thatthey had to leave.
