Captain(船长)Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred

the sea to being on land.”

“I do,” replied the captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” 

After going through a door, we were about ten meters under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We were going deeper and deeper. At 100 meters deep, we could see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their “branches” were vertical(垂直的).We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest.

Suddenly, I saw a large sea spider about a meter tall. It was going to attack me. Captain Nemo’s man killed it with his gun, but it reminded me that the sea could be as dangerous as it was beautiful. When we reached 150 meters, it was dark. The sun’s light could not reach this depth(深度). We turned our lights. We could see about 20 meters around us. Finally, we found Crespo Island—where a steep rock wall rose in front of us.

We could go no further, so we walked back toward the Nautilus. Suddenly, Captain Nemo stopped and shot an animal with his gun, it was a beautiful and rare sea otter. At last, we could see the Nautilus. Several large sharks swam over us. Luckily they didn’t see us. We re-entered the Nautilus safely. I was tired but amazed by what I had seen.

If you need to call your parents but your phone is not with you,can you remember their numbers?

To remember11numbers is not difficult.However,because of the smart phone(智能手机), many of us are losing this ability, Record Japan reported.

What’s more, smart phones weaken our skills at giving directions as well as skilling face-to-face communications .Even when friends are having a meal together,it’s common for most of them to check their phones. According to a report by Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers,an American company,Chinese people spend on average170 minutes on their smart phones daily.

For students,an addiction to smartphones does no good for studying. Research by Japan’s Education Ministry shows that children who spend more than four hours a day on their phones perform much worse in school tests than those who play with their phones for 30 minutes a day.

It’s true that the smartphone has made our lives easier. But many also think they spend too much time on it, and this is bad for their study or work. People are trying to change that.

A new app called Forest was introduced this month. It lets users plant a seed(种子) that grows into a tree over the next 30 minutes . During the half hour, users cannot use their phones, or the tree will die.

A restaurant in Los Angeles, US, gives people a 5 percent discount(折扣) if they don’t check their phones during a meal. Owner Mark Gold said that he hoped it could give people a way to enjoy their meal and actually talk with friends and family in person.
