The boys had  3a lot of water and were tired, but in pretty good  4.

Within  10, they were far out at sea.

 “We  11our fishing equipment on the second day,” Driscoll said. “So we couldn’t catch any fish.”

The boys’ hopes faded  12each day. They stood on their boat  13they saw another boat,  14. One night they were woken up by  15coming into the boat. A large ship was very close to them.

 “  16was like some huge building in the water,” Driscoll said.

The boys got up and made some  19. This time, they were heard.

　　The sun can make the wind blow! The faraway sun can make air move across the earth in a wind.

　　First, sunshine heats the earth. Then the earth heats the air that is close to it. As the air gets warmer, it also gets lighter. Up it goes, while cooler air moves in to take its place. This is the kind of motion (运动) you can see in a turning wheelas one part is going up, another part in moving along the ground.

　　High above the earth, the warm air grows cool, and down it comes again. Once more the earth warms it. Again it rises, and the great wheel of air keeps turning.

　　You can feel it turning in a hot day at the seashore of beside a lake. The earth soaks(吸收)up more heat from the sun than the water does. This means that the air above the earth grows warm and light, while the air above the water stays cool. The warm, light air rises. Offshore, the cooler air begins to move. It flows in over the land to take the warm air's place. That is why you are likely to have a cool breeze at the shore on a sunshiny day.

　　Some winds are caused by the spinning (旋转) of the earth itself.

1．When the wind blows, it gets through the following steps except ________.

[　　]

A．the earth spins by itself

B．sunshine heats the earth

C．the earth heats the air that is close to it

2．Which of the following plays an important part in making the wind blow?

A．

B．

C．

D．
