If a man in a spaceship looked down at the earth, he would see mainly water. He might think that the earth was one giant ocean with little land.

  Nearly seven-tenths of the earth's surface is covered by water. One ocean, the Pacific (太平洋), has an area of 63 million square miles.

  Many years ago people thought that the land under all this water was flat. Now they know that this is not true. There are as many mountains under the sea as there are on the land.

At first, there was very little salt in the sea. The salt was brought into the, sea by rivers. It is possible to measure the age of the earth by measuring the amount of salt in the sea. Scientists can calculate how many years it took for this amount of salt to be carried from the land into the sea.

     On June 30, 2009, a Yemenia airplane from Paris to Comoros, Africa, crashed into the Indian Ocean.
There were 153 people on the plane, including some French officials. Though people have been searching
since the plane went down, the result looked unpleasant, for most of the passengers might be in bad luck.

(漂浮的) by holding a piece of wreckage (残骸) from the plane tightly fo over 13 hours. When they found
her, the girl was too weak to catch he lifebuoy (救生圈) thrown to her, instead, a Comoran police officer,
said Abdilai, jumped into the water to pull the child onto the boat.
     Bahia Bakari was injured, especially her collarbone (锁骨) her father was pleased to see his daughter
although his wife had gone away in this tragedy. He said that his daughter could hardly swim. It was really

had experienced."I was thrown out of the plane and then I saw the plane fall into the water. Next I found
myself in the water. I couldn't swim very well and I caught something but I didn't know what is was," said
the girl.
