We watched as Shackleton and the boat sailed away from Elephant Island. It was easy to imagine the danger ahead of them. Would they ever return to find us? What might happen to them?

Para.2&3
Life fell into a regular pattern. Staying alive took all our time and energy. For example, we needed water, and Elephant Island had none. We found that we could melt ice from the ocean and drink the water from it. But how could we make fire? There were no trees growing on Antarctica and no oil, so the only fuel we could use was animal fat. This gave off oily, black smoke, but it stayed burning even in strong winds.
Food was also a problem, as we did not find any vegetables or fruit on the island. One of our group members, Lionel Greenstreet, noted in his diary about how bored he was with the meals: “The food now is pretty well all meat of sea creatures.” If it weren’t for sea animals, we would all starve. As a chef. it was my duty to cook, so I tried to vary the meals in whatever way I could. But it was difficult.
4. What did the men eat and drink on the island? (P45 Ex2-1)
The men ate the meat of sea creatures and drank the water from melted ice.
5. What did the sailors think of the meals on the island?
A. Delicious. B. Abundant. C. Boring. D. Balanced.

Para.4
We had to be careful not to go outside too often, as the changing temperatures could make us ill. It was almost as dangerous to become too hot from wearing too many clothes as to become too cold from wearing too few. The sweat could freeze very quickly. Many of us also became ill from the black smoke of the animal fat we burnt for our fires. It damaged our eyes and burnt our lungs.3. What did the sailors think of the meals on the island?

⑤Drinking sea water
A. ①②③④⑤ B. ①③④⑤ C. ②③④⑤ D. ①③④

Para.5&6
The twenty-two of us lived like this in the cold for four months. Our discipline and team spirit kept us optimistic and helped us deal with our fears in a positive and successful way. We also celebrated our birthdays, festivals, and even the times when we caught a sea animal. This was an episode in my life that I would never forget.
When we were finally rescued, we felt such relief and joy that many of us could not hide our tears. We were at last free to go home to warm beds, good food and the care of our family and friends. Our optimism and faith in Shackleton had helped us persevere in staying alive. And he paid us back by his commitment to save us from a slow but painful death.
7.How did the men stay in good spirits while waiting to be rescued? (P45 Ex2-3)
By being disciplined and staying positive. They celebrated birthdays, festivals, and every time when they caught a sea animal.
8.What do you think were the key reasons for their survival? (Answers are from Para.5&6)(P45 Ex2-4)
I think the key reasons for their survival were their discipline and positive mental attitude, as well as the reliability of Shackleton.
Para.6

On August 30, 1916,
Shackleton rescued the entire crew
after two years and one month.
It was a failed voyage,
But became an example of bravery and tenacity
throughout human history
The wheels of history roll on; the tides of the times are vast and mighty. History looks kindly on those with resolve, with drive and ambition, and with plenty of guts; it won't wait for the hesitant, the apathetic, or those shy of a challenge.
历史车轮滚滚向前,时代潮流浩浩荡荡。历史只会眷顾坚定者、奋进者、搏击者,而不会等待犹豫者、懈怠者、畏难者。
May you all be a person with resolve, with drive and ambition, and with plenty of guts in the face of adversity
