In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean,preparing for the worst,adventurer Peter Seiter wrote a farewell note to his family,put it in a wine bottle and threw it overboard. With a sense of bad feeling he wrote, " The ocean has a personality of its own. The place can be such a peaceful en?vironment to be in,yet it can be frightfully violent. I've experienced both."

"I included my geographical coordinates (地理坐标) so if anything happened to me,they'd know my last place when I threw the bottle into the ocean”，says Peter. He also included some money with his message,asking whoever found it to use the money to post the letter to his family.

Seventeen days later he reached his destination,having survived the dangerous seas. But he never thought that his message in a bottle could be found on shore,11 years later！

Recently,American woman Katherine and a friend came across the bottle on a deserted beach in the Bahamas. Alongside it they found a life jacket. Assuming the worst,they broke the bottle open and spent 24 hours drying it out so they could read an adventurer's story and write to his family like he had requested.

"I couldn't believe it―that after all these years my bottle turned up with its contents still undamaged," Peter said. Overjoyed,he wrote to the pair,saying he was alive and living in Australia with his wife and kids.

Katherine posted him his letter,money and some broken glass from his bottle,placed in a tiny box as a special souvenir. The special souvenir now shares pride of place among photos of Peter's Atlantic voyage. "I can't express what this old letter means to me," Peter says, "It gives me a sense of hope and belief. It's something special to share with my children as they grow up."

I have had a strange knock on my front door asking for money for the bus so he could get to the hospital. I have had strangers asking for a donation. I have had strangers at my door looking for work or a ride. And I have managed to say no to just about everybody.

A teenager from Thousand Oaks received a warm welcome as he sailed into Marina Del Rey on July 16,2009,becoming the youngest person to circle the globe by sea alone.

Zac Sunderland arrived in Marina Del Rey with his 36-foot boat Intrepid at about 10 a. m. local time. During his 28,000-nauticaI-mile journey,he braved storms,equipment failures and a conflict with suspected pirates.

"It's great to be back," Sunderland,of Thousand Oaks,California,said after he was wel?comed home by a group of friends.

Fewer than 250 people have sailed around the globe alone,according to the American Sail?ing Association,which certified Sunderland's feat.

He left Marina Del Rey,just south of Los Angeles,on June 14,2008,and celebrated his 17th birthday at sea while off Africa's Cape of Good Hope.

His return was delayed near the end of his voyage when his boat had a broken bulkhead in rough seas off Mexico,forcing him to stop at Puerto Vallarta long enough to wait for his father to fly there to make repairs.

Another tense moment occurred in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia where the Intrepid was approached by a suspected pirated boat.

"The intruders fled after a plane flew overhead and Sunderland climbed onto its deck with a gun to keep them off," said Cilarlie Nobles,executive director of the association.

Sunderland,who remained in contact with his father by satellite telephone during the voy?age,threw the gun away before entering Mexican waters,where it is illegal to carry private fire?arms.

He becomes the first person under 18 to travel around the globe by sea alone,and the youngest to date. The previous recordholder was David Dicks of Australia,who completed his voyage in November 1996 at the age of 18.

( ) 1. Which statement about Sunderland's voyage is true?

A. He completed his voyage in about 13 months.

B. He is the first one to travel around the globe by sea.

C. His father flew a plane to drive the pirates off.

D. On June 14 ,2008,he reached the Cape of Good Hope.

( ) 2. Why did Sunderland stop at Puerto Vallarta?

A. To avoid the terrible weather.

B. To delay the time of his return.

C. To wait for help from his father.

D. To avoid the intruders.

( ) 3. The youngest person who sailed around the globe alone was .

A. Charlie Nobles B. David Dicks

You can hardly avoid TV talk shows when you turn on the TV in the daytime. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content,while at the same time standing out above the rest than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk". The contents on his show are as surprising as possible. For example,the show takes the forevercommon talk show titles of love,sex,cheating,and hate,to a different level. Clearly,the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society,yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.

Like Jerry Springer,Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top,but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and the quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons,managing your work week,to getting to know your neighbors.

Compared with Oprah,the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured in?to society. Jerry ends every show with a " final word". He makes a small speech about the main idea of the show. Hopefully,this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

Clean as it is,the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main viewers are middle? class Americans. Most of these people have the time,money,and ability to deal with life's tough problems. Jerry Springer,on the other hand,has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love,rela?tionship,sex,money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show's exploitation.

( ) 1. Compared with other TV talk shows,both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are .

A. more inspiring B. more popular C. more positive D. more negative

( ) 2. What is the audience's reaction about the social problems that Jerry Springer talks about?

A. They are interested in them.

B. They are not ready to face them.

C. They are cold to them.

D. They want to get away from them.

( ) 3. Which of the following topics is a probable one for the Oprah show?

A. Cheating. B. Drug deal.

C. Single mum's happy life. D. A traffic accident.

( ) 4. From the passage we learn that the two talk shows .

A. have their own viewers

B. are the only ones of their kind

C. appear at different times of the day

D. explore weaknesses in human nature
