一、阅读理解

　　　 A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty-six days in a life raft (救生艇)in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.

　　　Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, in Simony, they met some whales (鲸)." They started to hit the side of the boat," said Bill," and then suddenly we heard water. " Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life raft and watched the boat go under the water.

　　　For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water-two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的).Then the line broke. "So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks(鲨鱼) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands."

　　　About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn't stand up. So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.

　　　 One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the wonderful works.

　　　A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided she was doing all the talking. I admired his patience for tolerating her constant words. Disturbed by their noise, I moved on.

　　　I encountered them several times as I moved through the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant talking, I moved away quickly.

　　　I was standing at the counter of the museum gift store doing some shopping when the couple approached the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He turned it into a long cane (手杖) and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife's jacket.

　　　"He's a brave man," the clerk at the counter said, "Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise that his life wouldn't change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there's a new art show."

　　　"But what does he get out of the art?" I asked, "He can't see."

　　　"Can't see! You're wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do," the clerk said, "His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head."

　　　I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life.

　　　And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away arm in arm.

　　　4．Which of the following statements is true?

　　　A．The husband was doing all the talking when the couple viewed the works.

　　　B．The husband tapped his way to the coatroom to get his own jacket.

C．The husband was considered a brave man by the clerk at the store.
