The sea has always interested man. From it he can get food, minerals, and treasure.      But he could not go far beneath its surface.

        However, he is not a fish. He must breathe air, so he can’t stay under the water’s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.

　　A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases.      He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea.    

When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles(氣泡). The diver is then suffering from the bends(潛水夫病). The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain.     

A. His body is under great pressure.

B. Scientists are trying to find more about the sea.

C. For thousands of years, he could sail on it.

D. They can even kill him.

E. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above.

F. The water pressure can cause a diver to breathe with difficulty.

G. Man wants to explore deep into the sea.

The long, lonely voyage of the Japanese ghost ship is over.
A US Coast Guard cutter poured cannon fire into an abandoned Japanese ghost ship that had been drifting since last year’s tsunami (海嘯), sinking the vessel into waters more than 305 meters deep in the Gulf of Alaska and removing the danger it posed to shipping and the coastline on Thursday.
The cutter’s guns tore holes in the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru, and then it began to take on water and lean to one side. In about four hours, the ship disappeared into the sea, said Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow.
The ship had no lights or communications system, and its tank was able to carry more than 7,570 liters of diesel fuel. Officials, however, didn’t know exactly how much fuel was aboard.
“It’s less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships,” coast guard spokesman Paul Webb said.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate and pollute the sea environment.
Ryou-Un Maru was probably among the first wave of the 1.5 million tons of garbage of refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, roofs and fishing nets heading toward North America since last March when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck Japan.
As the coast guard was ready to fire on the vessel, a Canadian fishing vessel, the 19-meter Bernice C, claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters.
Plans to sink it were paused so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship. A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to drag it.
Then the Canadian boat left, and once it was about 10 kilometers from the Japanese vessel, the Coast Guard began to fire, first with 25 mm shells, then a few hours later with ammunition (彈藥)twice that size.
State officials have been working to test the danger of garbage including materials affected by a damaged nuclear power plant, to see if Alaska residents, seafood or wild animals could be affected.
【小題1】The plan to fire on the Japanese ghost ship was paused because ____________.

A．the ghost ship was beyond the reach of the Coast Guard’s guns
B．state officials worried the ghost ship might give out radiation
C．the shells were not powerful enough to sink the ghost ship
D．a(chǎn) Canadian fishing boat wanted to save the ghost ship
【小題2】What’s the right order of the events related to the ship of Ryou-Un Maru?
a. Its long, lonely voyage came to an end.
b. The US Coast Guard sank it into the sea.
c. The ship began to float across the Pacific Ocean.
d. A big tsunami was caused by great earthquakes.
e. Bernice C claimed rights to save the ghost ship.
A．d, c, e, b, a B．a(chǎn), b, d, c, eC．c, e, d, a, bD．b, a, d, c, e
【小題3】Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A．Japanese ghost ship arriving at US
B．Tsunami garbage heading to US
C．Japanese ghost ship polluting the Pacific
D．Cannon fire sinking Japanese ghost ship
