At a few minutes past five, Dave noted that the blanket of darkness was lifting．He was just able to make out the heavier masses that eventually appeared as the familiar trees that lined the road at the base of the hill．The upper reaches of the sky showed lighter shades of gray．
Dave got out of bed quietly and dressed quickly．He mixed a spoonful of instant chocolate into a glass of cold water, and his impatience forced him to finish the drink in gulps．
As he walked down toward the lake, Dave paused to reach for the fishing pole and gear box on the bench where he had left them the night before．
By the time he reached the small boat, a thick white mist(雾)had spread over the surface of the water．He stepped into the boat, sat down, and rowed out of the weed beds that lined the edge of the shore．
The outer fringe(边缘)of the lake disappeared as the boat moved forward noiselessly．All he could see was the enveloping whiteness．He could not tell where the boat and the surrounding air met the surface of the lake．
Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying on a mental picture of the surroundings．Then the mist began to rise, slowly．It soon rested inches above the still surface of the lake．The heavy silence was now being broken by the fish breaking through the surface as they leaped out of the water for low-flying insects．

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the lake behind his house．He swam toward the middle of the lake, not realizing that a crocodile was swimming toward him．His mother, who was in the house, was looking out of the window and saw the two．In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could．Hearing her voice, the boy became alarmed and swam back．It was too late．Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him．The mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile snatched his legs．The crocodile was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go．A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the crocodile．

After battling hard times and danger for over nine months, British teenager Mike Perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail solo around the world．
The 17-year-old made the record after he cleared the Panama Canal and then sailed through the Caribbean and got home across the Atlantic．
Mike is only three months younger than Zac Sunderland, the 17-year-old American boy who had taken the crown as the youngest solo around-the-world sailor in July．
The two youngsters met in Cape Town in South Africa as they crossed the globe in different directions．Mike insisted they were not rivals(竞争对手)．“No．It's two teenagers going out there, living their dream and having the adventure of a lifetime,” he said．
Mike may be young, but he is no stranger to sailing adventures．He picked up the hobby at the age of 6 when his father took him out in a small boat on a local lake．Father and son sailed separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14, making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo．That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge．
On the recent journey, the scariest moment for Mike came when his sailboat was hit by storms in the southern Indian Ocean．
“We were picked up by what felt like a 60-foot wave and threw down on our side at 90 degrees,” he said．
“It felt like I was going right over．Stuff was flying around and I just thought ‘Oh no'．”
At other times, he had to dive into the Pacific and fix problems．He tied himself to the boat, jumped into the water and went to work with a knife in 30-second dives underneath the boat to cut a rope away．
Mike said he felt proud that he made his dream come true．“You've got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it,” he said．
