I missed my boat and decided to travel on an old ship. I knew that it would not be a fortable journey but I had no time to wait for another boat. Hardly had we left the port when I saw the dog Gulliver, the captains favourite dog, for the first time. What a big dog it was! I had never seen one that could frighten me so much! On the third day the ship caught fire. Nobody tried to put it out. The ship began sinking and all the men rushed to the life-boats. I saw no chance of getting away in a boat. Suddenly I remembered there was a life-raft on the ship. I had no time to lose, so I immediately rushed towards the raft and pushed it overboard.In jumping down onto the raft I hurt myself badly and was unconscious for some time. When I came to, I found there was no sign of a life-boat. Every man who had been on board the ship must have gone down with her. I was the only one who was saved.Then I saw Gulliver was ing fast towards the raft. He struggled a long time before he managed to get onto it. I wanted to push him back into the water but did not dare to move. The dog shook himself, went to the other end of the raft and lay down. I didnt dare to sleep that night. I must watch him. In the moonlight I could see his eyes were open. He was watching, too.25. In what situation did the author first meet the dog?A. While waiting for the boat. B. While travelling in the city.C. Upon leaving the port. D. Upon getting onto the ship.26. What did the author manage to do when the ship was going down?A. Get away with a raft. B. Board a life boat.C. Jump into the water. D.

Failing to order the right food and struggling with chopsticks are only parts of the adventure every time I sit down in a restaurant. In one of our favorite Sichuan restaurants, it took 3 waiters and 15 minutes for us to order only our drinks. I simply wanted water, but my dad wanted to try the fresh juice they had listed on the menu. There were two problems, however. There were neither pictures nor English on the menu. After several hand gestures, he ended up ordering just a coca cola to simplify things.One of our most embarrassing moments was at Xiabuxiabu, a very famous hotpot chain. As soon as we walked in, the entire restaurant seemed to stare at us. Unfortable already, we had the most difficulty ordering our meal, since there were so many steps to the whole process. Fortunately, the waitress was very patient and successfully gave us our food. Although it was not the best food I had in Beijing, it was certainly entertaining dropping things into the boiling pot of soup. Once, I tried picking up a dumpling to show my father and dropped it onto his pants. I looked behind me, and people were laughing secretly at my chopstick skills.No matter how many difficulties we have regarding food, our experiences give the best stories to tell. The servers are always understanding of our situation and their friendliness is exceptional. They always greet us with a big smile even when they realize they have to clean up the noodles slipped through our clumsy chopsticks. 29.
