At 2:30 December 5, 1945, five US Navy training planes took off in clear weather from the base Lauderdale, Florida. The planes flew east over the coast… and disappeared. The group was Flight 19, on a run between
Florida and Bahamas. Tailor was the group leader. At about 3:40, Tailor reported that his compasses (指南针)
were not reading properly. The other planes followed their leaders aimlessly, first east, then west, then
northeast over the ocean, as Tailor tried to make sure of the direction by radio. Then, suddenly Tailor was
heard to give orders to dive…
Quickly, two giant Martin seaplanes were sent up to search for Flight 19. Several hours later, the wind
became strong and visibility (能见度) dropped. A return to base was ordered. But only one of the Martin
seaplanes landed. Four days later, the Navy and Coast Guard combed a 100,000 square-mile area with more
than 100 planes and ships. No sign was ever shown of the missing planes.
Today, people have noted the disappearance of many ships and planes in the southwest part of the North
Atlantic and began to call this area the Bermuda Triangle.
The points of the triangle are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and a particular place in the Gulf of Mexico, west of
Florida. It is a two-faced water world of tiny islands, bright beaches and beautiful waters. Yet thick fogs,
powerful currents (激流) and sudden storms are hidden behind this smiling surface.
B. In the northeast part of the Atlantic Ocean.
C. To the southwest of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.
D. To the northeast of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.
B. Six
C. Two
D. Only one.
B. fly over
C. do up one's hair with a comb
D. search all over

1. Why did Flight 19 disappear?
A．Because the wind became strong and visibility dropped
B．Because Tailor was given wrong orders to dive.
C．Because Tailor couldn’t reed his compasses correctly.
D．Because something unknown made the compasses unable to work as usual.
2. In what position did Flight 19 disappear?
A．In the southeast part of the Atlantic Ocean.
B．In the northeast part of the Atlantic Ocean.

3. How many planes disappeared altogether that day?
A．Five.
B．Six.
C．Two.
D．Only one.

Scientists used to explore(探测)on the surface of the ocean. Now they are exploring below the surface， too. They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.
In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3 000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 August Piccard dived 10 330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35 800 feet.
All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below surface. Gradually they succeeded.Cousteau，a Frenchman，was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.
Now scientists are developing even better equipment. With this new equipment，men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then，in 1964，he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea.This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.
Many countries are now studying undersea living. The former Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea.The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans for the use of its resources. Scientists hope to find enough mineral，vegetable，and animal wealth there to provide food for the entire world.
