C
Three Mexican fishermen have been rescued after drifting for about nine months across thousands of miles of the Pacific Ocean in a small boat, a had experience they survived by eating raw birds and fish and drinking rain water.
The shark fishermen said on Wednesday they
left their home town of S
an Blas on Mexico’s Pacific coast in November
and were blown 5,000 miles off course after their 25-foot fiberglass boat ran
out of gas and they were left to the mercy of the winds and the tides. Their
families had given them up for dead.
“We ate raw fish, ducks, sea gulls. We took down any bird that landed on our boat and we ate it like that, raw,” said Jesus Vidana, one of the three survivors.
The odyssey finally ended when Vidana and the other two men, Salvador Ordonez and Lucio Rendon, were rescued a week ago by a Taiwanese fishing boat in waters between the Marshall Islands and Kiribati.
The three men were sunburned but otherwise in good health. Vidana said they always believed they would be found.
“We never lost hope because we were always seeing boats. They passed us by, but we kept on seeing them. Every week or so, sometimes we’d go a month without seeing one, but we always saw them so we never lost hope,” he said.
They were lucky to be picked up in the end because they were fast asleep and only noticed the rescue boat was coming for them when they heard its engine.
“There are no words to express it. The emotion here is very strong because we thought they were dead,” said Efrain Partida, a fellow fisherman in San Blas, which was once a Spanish port and is known for its bird life, tropical jungle and mosquitoes and sand flies.
San Blas is home to thousands of fishermen and many have old boats without radios or life-saving device.

D On the President’s Program
President Arling has put his long awaited economic restructuring program before the Congress. It provides a coordinated program of investment credits, research grants, education reforms, and tax changes designed to make American industry more competitive. This is necessary to reverse the economic slide into unemployment, lack of growth, and trade deficits that have plagued the economy for the past six years.
The most liberal wing of the President’s party has called for stronger and more direct action. They want an incomes policy to check inflation while federal financing helps rebuild industry behind a wall of protective tariffs.
The Republicans, however, decry even the modest, graduated tax increases in the President’s program. They want tax cuts and more open market. They say if federal money has to be injected into the economy, let it through defense spending.
Both these alternatives ignore the unique nature of the economic problem before us. It is not simply a matter of markets or financing. The new technology allows vastly increased production for those able to master it. But it also threatens those who fail to adopt it with permanent second-class citizenship in the world economy. If an industry cannot lever itself up to the leading stage of technological advances, then it will not be able to compete effectively. If it cannot do this, no amount of government protectionism or access to foreign markets can keep it profitable for long. Without the profits and experience of technological excellence to reinvest, that industry can only fall still further behind its foreign competitors.
So the crux is the technology and that is where the President’s program focused. The danger is not that a plan will not be passed, it is that the ideologues of right and left will distort the bill with amendments that will blur its focus on technology. The economic restructuring plan should be passed intact. If we fail to restructure our economy now, we may not get a second chance.
51. The focus of the President’s program is on______________.
A investment. B economy. C technology. D tax.
52. What is the requirement of the most liberal wing of the Democratic-party?
A They want a more direct action.
B They want an incomes policy to check inflation.
C They want to rebuild industry.
D They want a wall of protective tariffs.
53. What is the editor’s attitude?
A Support B Distaste. C
Disapproval. D
Compromise.
54. The danger to the plan lies in
A the two parties’ objection.
B different idea of the two parties about the plan.
C its passage. D distortion.
55. The passage is____________.
A a review. B a preface. C a advertisement. D an editorial.

When I have something difficult to do, I always ask my mom, “Could you help me?” But she always
says, “Do it yourself, dear.” Then I get so sad. I think she is a lazy mother.
One day, I invited some friends to my home. My bedroom was out of order. So I asked my mother to
help me clean it. But she said seriously, “Do it yourself, girl.” So I did it myself.
Because of my “lazy” mom, I can do everything by myself. It’s really hard, but I have learned a lot.
Now I understand my mother. It’s her “laziness” that makes me clever and hard-working.

Dear Dr. Know,
I have a question for you. I make some money by doing some chores at home. I sweep the floor, clean the table and walk the dog everyday and I also take out the rubbish on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays. I think I do too much because I take part in some activities after school and I have to do my homework every night.
I can only get $ 20 a week. And the amount(数量) I get is hardly enough to go the movies and buy popcorn.
I want money. I know my parents are going to say “no”. But it’s not fair. I am 14, so I can’t get a job yet. But I really need more money to spend time with friends. I don’t know how to make them understand me. Could you please help me?
