Captain Nemo seemed very sure that that savages could not harm us. I slept well. When I went outside the next morning, I saw that there were many more natives on the beach. It was low tide, and many of them had come quite close to the Nautilus. I asked Conseil to get a net, and we used it to get some shells from the water. They were very pretty shells. Suddenly, I saw a very rare and beautiful shell. We looked at it together. One of the savages threw a stone at us and broke the shell. Conseil was very angry. He fired his gun at the savage. Then, we noticed that the savages had come very close to the Nautilus in their canoes. A few moments later, they began to shoot their arrows at us. We went inside and told Captain Nemo about it. He ordered his men to close the doors.

“But what will happen tomorrow?” I asked. “You will have to open the doors to get more air, and the savages will come in.”

“Do you think they will dare?”

“I am sure they will.”

“We have nothing to fear,” he said again.

Captain Nemo asked me about our trip to the island. I told him what we had seen and done. We talked about another French sailor called D’Urville, whose ship was wrecked in the Torres Strait. He told me again that the high tide the next day would lift the Nautilus off the reef.(选自《海底两万里》)

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响)on the poor,but once a person has a rich life,a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.

If money was everything,all millionaires would have true love, true friendship,good health and a long life. However,this is not always true.

Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought?I’m afraid not. Love means to give,not to take. To every person,health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的)things. Well,can health and a long life be bought with money?The answer is “No”.

Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word,Where money is worshiped(崇拜),money can cause brothers to quarrel,lovers to hate,strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have,it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with,no one to cry for.
