My father was a man of some wealth, able to give me a good home and send me to school. It was his wish that I should be a lawyer but my head began to be filled very early with thoughts of travel, and I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea. One day, being at Hull, I met a school-fellow who was about to sail for London in his father’s ship, and he invited me to go with him, and without telling my father, I went on board.‎ On the way to London, our ship was destroyed by a storm, and we almost lost our lives. I went on foot to London, where I met with the master of a large ship which did business with countries on the coast of Africa. He offered me a chance to go with him , which I gladly accepted.‎ A great storm came up, and the ship was tossed (被颠簸) about for many days, until we did not know where we were. Suddenly we struck at bank of sand, and the sea broke over the ship in such a way that we could not hope to have her hold many moments without breaking into pieces. So we used a boat instead. After we had been driven four or five miles, a mountainous wave (波浪) hit us so hard that it overturned the boat at once. I swam well but the waves were so strong that I was pushed against a rock with such force that it left me unconscious. But I recovered a little before the waves returned, and, running forward, got to the mainland safely. I never regretted my decisions.‎ ‎4.

He did business with African countries.‎ C Instagram(照片共享应用程序), is a social networking app made for sharing photos and videos from a smartphone. However, some people argue that Instagrm is harmful to teens.‎ ‎ Essena O’Neill seemed to have a perfect life---- at least online. The Australian teen had 500,000 Instagram followers. He Internet fame led to a modeling contract. Companies paid her to show their clothing in her photos.‎ ‎ But in November 2015, Essena, then 18, shut down her Instagram account. She ‎ deleted(删除) more than 2,000 photos. “I’ve spent the majority of my teenage life being addicted to social media, ”she wrote. “I’m leaving Instagram.”‎ ‎ Essena left a few photos online, and told the truth behind the photos she created. For example, she didn’t eat all day before taking a picture in a bikini(比基尼泳装). She took that photo 100 times to make sure her stomach looked perfect. “Social media is not real life!” she says now.‎ ‎ Seeing perfect-looking Instagram photos can make teens feel like they don’t measure up. And if your photos don’t get many “likes,”you might take it personally. Even Essena worried all the time about what others thought of her. Trying to appear perfect online made her feel alone. One day, she wrote, “I had never been more miserable(痛苦的).”‎ Not everyone thinks that Instagram is harmful, though. Some people say it might even be good for teens. Why? Unlike many ads and magazines, Instagram includes photos of all different kinds of people. That means you’re more likely to see a photo of someone who looks like you.‎ ‎ Plus, studies show that many people who use social media feel more connected to friends. And social media users are more likely to know about big events in the lives of friends and family. So maybe it’s OK to love Instagram... as long as you love yourself too.‎ ‎ 8. According to the text, Instagram brought Essena________.‎ A. a healthy lifestyle B. fame and money ‎ C. many true friends D. a perfect teenage life ‎9. Why did Essena shut down her Instagram account at age 18?‎ A.Because she was too busy. B. Because her shape changed.‎ C. Because she faced great pressure. D. Because her photos were deleted.‎ ‎10. What’s the author’s attitude towards Instagram?‎ ‎ A. Worried B. Curious. C. Surprised D. Supportive.‎ ‎11. What does the text mainly discuss?‎ ‎ A. Should you be on a diet to look perfect?‎ ‎ B. Should you make friends on social media?‎ ‎ C. Should you give others “likes” on Instagram?‎ ‎ D. Should you shut down your Instagram account?‎ D Reach for the stars at the Euro‎ Space ‎Center.
