Set Off for More Adventures开始更多的冒险
Dear reader,my name is Lemuel Gulliver.On 7th September 1710,I set off for more
adventures again.Our first stop was in Barbados where I hired more men because some of my crew
(1 fever.Unfortunately my new men were really pirates.They took command of my
ship and kept me a 2 in my cabin.I thought they sailed the ship to Madagascar.I did not know
where we went after that.I only knew that some months later,they decided to 3 me.
They put me into a small boat and took me to 4 island I did not know.
I decided to explore the island and set off cautiously (so that I was not attacked.I
found a road 5 tracks of human feet as well as of cows and horses.
"Similar to England,"I thought,and this made me feel 6.
But then I saw some strange disgusting creatures()with long hair.They were dirty and
7.
They wanted to attack me,but suddenly all of them 8 when a grey horse came close.
Later,another large horse arrived and they began talking about me.They made horsey sounds
which were only understood by themselves and 9 checking me and touching my clothes and
body.I repeatedly heard the word "Yahoo"in their conversation again and again.I could remember
that these horses were 10 smart as they communicated in a logical(合乎逻辑的)manner.
The horses showed that they wanted to take me 11 I followed them to a large wooden
building.Surprisingly,there weren't any humans but horses inside.Again,when they spoke about
me,the word“Yahoo”l2 many times.
One horse took me outside.Here there were three of the smelly creatures 13 tried to
attack me earlier.The horse put me near the creatures and I realized that they wanted to compare
me with them.14 I felt insulted()to be compared with these dirty ones.But when I
looked closer,I discovered that they were exactly like me-they were my own kind.
The creatures were the Yahoos,which mean humans.15,what the horses didn't
understand was why I was so similar to them horses..Even I didn't want to associate(混在一起)
with these creatures.I immediately understood that I preferred the company of horses.

Helpful Tom热心的汤姆
School started again,and soon the ink in Tom's spelling book 1 (find).Tom said he hadn't
split the ink,but that made it look as if he were lying.Becky almost said,"Alfred Temple has done
it."But she kept quiet.She thought that Tom 2 (tell)the teacher about her tearing his book,
so she didn't save him.Mr Bobbins beat him and then Tom went back to his seat.
After 3 hour,Mr Bobbins unlocked his desk and took out his book.Tom looked over at
Becky.She looked like a hunted and 4 (help)rabbit.The next moment the master faced the
children.There was a long silence,then he spoke,"Who tore this book?"
There wasn't a sound.The teacher searched their faces.
“Benjamin Rogers,did you do it?”
Benjamin said no.
“Joseph Harper,.did you?”
Joseph also said no.Bobbins looked at the rows of boys,thought 5 a moment,then
turned to the girls.
“Amy Lawrence?”
A shake of the head.
“Gracie Miller?”
The same sign.
Becky was next.Tom was shaking from head to foot.
“Rebecca Thatcher??”-(Tom looked at her face:it was white with terror)-“did you tear?一no,
look at my facedid you tear this book?"
Tom jumped to his feet and shouted,“I did it!”
The children looked at his 6 (fool)act in surprise.
And 7 he stepped forward for his punishment,he saw the surprise,the thanks,and the
love that came from Becky's eyes.This was enough for one hundred beatings.And he didn't even
mind 8 (stay)for two hours after school,because he knew that Becky was waiting for him
outside.
Tom went to bed that night planning some 9 (act)on Alfred Temple,for Becky had told
him everything.And he fell 10 (sleep)with Becky's last words to him in his ear,"Tom,you
are so great..”

Float onto a Lonely Island漂上了荒岛
I lay on the beach for a long time.When I felt stronger,I stood up and looked around."Where
am I?"I asked myself."Is this an island or the mainland?Are there any people here?Any
dangerous wild animals?"
1 "I must look for somewhere safe to spend the night,"I thought.
I found a big tree not far from the shore()and I climbed up into the branches.2 The
next morning the sky was blue and there was no wind.I could see the ship from my bed in the tree.
I decided to swim to it.
3 First of all,I went to the kitchen because I was feeling very hungry.Luckily all the
bread in the cupboard was still dry.
While I was walking around the ship I thought,"The ship is going to sink.I must make a raft
and take all the food back to the shore before it's too late."
I found some pieces of wood on the ship.I threw them into the water and joined them together
with ropes.It took me a long time,but I was happy with the result.4 I filled it with lots of
useful things from the ship:tools,guns,gunpowder,food,drink and clothes.
5 It was a long,slow journey,but I arrived safely without losing anything.
I made two more trips to the ship that day.Then,before it got too dark,I built a small tent.I
put everything inside it and went to bed.
-Robinson Crusoe
A.My raft was big and strong.
B.I thought about things carefully.
C.I climbed on board and had a look around.
D.It was getting dark and I was still very tired.
E.It made a comfortable bed and I fell asleep at once.
F.I did this thing in this strange lonely island to keep myself safe.
G.Finally I made a little sail for my raft and I set off for the shore.

In Danger有危险
One night when we were near Treasure Island,I decided I wanted an apple from the large
barrel()on the deck.There were only a few apples left,so I climbed inside the barrel and sat in
the dark,eating.Suddenly somebody sat down beside the barrel.I was going to jump out but I
heard Long John Silver speaking.
“Flint was the captain,”said Long John Silver,“and I was quartermaster(舵手).The same
cannon that took away my leg,blinded old Pew.But we came home with a ship full of gold.I
always did well with Flint.Most of his men are with me on the crew."
"Well,I'm with you too,John,"answered a young voice.It was Dick,the youngest sailor on
board.
I understood immediately that most of the ship's crew were pirates.They planned to take the
treasure.And now the new boy Dick was one of them too.
“But how long are we going to wait?”
"Well,we can kill them now,"said Long John Silver."Or we can do it on the island,when
the treasure is safely on the ship.Or we can wait until Captain Smollett has set the course for
home,because none of us know how to do that."
You can imagine how terrified I was when I heard all this.I jumped out of the barrel when no
one was looking,and ran over to Dr.Livesey.
"Get the captain and the squire down to the cabin,"I whispered to the doctor."Then send for
me.I have terrible news."A few minutes later they sent for me,and I told them everything.
“Captain,”said the squire,“What can we do now?”
"Listen,this is what I think:First,we must go on,because if we turn back now,the crew
will rebel immediately;second,we have time to think of a plan until we find the treasure;third,
some of the crew are on our side.Now,there's going to be a fight sooner or later.We have your
servants,Mr Trelawney,and ourselves,so that is seven out of twenty-six,"said the captain.
I began to feel desperate.There were only seven honest sailors out of twenty-six.And one of
those was a boy.

The Raft Was Hit木筏被撞
After that,we went on down the river.It was very dark that night and it wasn't easy to see
where we were going.Suddenly,a big steamboat came at us very fast,and the next minute it was
right over us.Jim and I jumped off the raft into the water.The boat hit the raft and went on up the
river.
When I came up out of the water,I couldn't see Jim anywhere.I called out his name again and
again,but there was no answer."He's dead!"I thought.Slowly,I swam to the side of the river
and got out.I saw that I was near a big old wooden house.Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped
out at me.They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house,"Who's there?"
“George Jackson,”I answered quickly..“T've fallen off a river boat.”
Well,the people who lived in that house were very kind,and they took me in and gave me
some new clothes and a good meal.I told them that my family were all dead,so they said I could
stay with them as long as I wanted.It was a beautiful house and the food was good there,so I
stayed.
A few days later one of the slaves in the house came to me and said,"Come with me!"
Together,we went down to some trees by the river."In there!"he said and went away.
On the ground,I found a man,asleep.It was Jim!I was really pleased to see him.When the
steamboat hit the raft,Jim told me,the raft didn't crash.Jim swam after it and caught it.Then he
began to look for me.
We decided to leave at once.It's all right living in a house for a little while but you feel more
free and easy and comfortable on a raft.

Successfully Escape成功逃离
For two long years I lived the life of a slave.I wanted to escape,but it was never possible.I
thought about it day and night.My master liked to go fishing in a little boat,and he always took
me with him.A man called Moely,and a young boy also went with us.
One day my master said to us,"Some of my friends want to go fishing tomorrow.Get the boat
ready.”
So we put a lot of food and drink on the boat,and the next morning,we waited for my master
and his friends.But when my master arrived,he was alone.
"My friends don't want to go fishing today,"he said to me."But you go with Moely and the
boy,and catch some fish for our supper tonight."
“Yes,master,”I answered quietly,but inside I was excited.“Perhaps now I can escape,”I
said to myself.
My master went back to his friends and we took the boat out to sea.For a time we fished
quietly,and then I moved carefully behind Moely and knocked him into the water."Swim!"I cried.
“Swim to the shore!”
My master liked to shoot seabirds and so there were guns on the boat.Quickly,I took one of
these guns.Moely was swimming after the boat and I shouted to him,"Go back to the shore!You
can swim there-it's not too far.I won't hurt you,but if you come near the boat,I'll shoot you
through the head!"So Moely turned,and swam back to the shore as quickly as he could.
Then I said to the boy,"Xury,if you help me,I'll be a good friend to you.If you don't help
me,I'll push you into the sea too.
But Xury was happy to help me."I'll go all over the world with you,"he cried.
I wanted to sail to the Canary Islands,but I was afraid to go too far from the shore.It was
only a small boat.And so we sailed on south for some days.We had very little water,and it was a
dangerous country here,with many wild animals.We were afraid,but we often had to go on shore
to get more water.Once I used a gun to shoot a wild animal.I don't know what animal it was,but
it made a good meal.

Begin a New Life开始新生活
For about ten or twelve days we sailed on south,down the coast of Africa.Then one day we
saw some people on the shore-strange,wild people,who did not look friendly.By now we had
very little food,and we really needed help.We were afraid,but we had to go on shore.
At first,they were afraid of us too.Perhaps white people never visited this coast.We did not
speak their language,of course,so we used our hands and faces to show that we were hungry.
They came with food for us,but then they moved away quickly.We carried the food to our boat,
and they watched us.I tried to thank them,but I had nothing to give them.
Just then two big wild cats came down to the shore from the mountains.I think they were
leopards.The people were afraid of these wild cats,and the women cried out.Quickly,I took a
gun,and shot one of the animals.The second wild cat ran back up into the mountains.
Guns were new to these African people,and they were afraid of the loud noise and the smoke.
But they were happy about the dead wild cat.I gave them the meat of the dead animal,and they
gave us more food and water.
We now had a lot of food and water,and we sailed on.Eleven days later we came near the
Cape Verde Islands.We could see them,but we couldn't get near because there was no wind.We
waited.
Suddenly Xury called to me,“Look,a ship!”
He was right!We called and shouted and sailed our little boat as fast as we could.But the ship
did not see us.Then I remembered the guns which made a lot of smoke.A few minutes later the
ship saw us and turned.
When we were on the ship,the Portuguese captain listened to my story.He was going to
Brazil and agreed to help me,but he wanted nothing for his help."No,he said,when I tried to
pay him."Perhaps,one day,someone will help me when I need it."
But he gave me money for my boat,and for Xury too.At first,I did not want to sell Xury as a
slave,after all our dangerous adventures together.But Xury was happy to go to the captain,and
the captain was a good man.“In ten years'time,”he said,“Xury can go free.”
When we arrived in Brazil three weeks later,I said goodbye to the captain and Xury,left the
ship,and went to begin a new life.

The Plan to Free Jim使吉姆获得自由的计划
“It's a good plan,.”he said when I finished.“But it''s too easy!It's got to be a real escape,
like a real adventure in a story-book.So we want something difficult and dangerous.Now,listen
to this.”
So he told me his plan.I knew it would be a good one because Tom's plans are always crazy
and exciting.And we were sure to have a lot of fun with that plan!We knew that Jim was locked
up in a hut outside the house.Every night we got out through our bedroom window and dug a
hole right under the wall of the hut.It took us a week,and it was hard work.We talked to Jim
secretly and told him about the plan,and he was really pleased.
We also wrote secret letters to everybody.Tom said that people always did this in books.We
wrote that there was a gang of slave-thieves coming up from the south.They wanted to steal Jim
and get the three hundred dollars from his owner.Well,the Phelpses and their friends got very
excited,and on the night of the escape I went into the sitting-room,and there was a crowd of
men in there-all with guns!
I ran and told Tom,and he said that this was really good."It's a real adventure now,all
right,he said,very excited."Perhaps they'll come after us,and shoot,and we'll all get killed!"
Well,there wasn't time to think about it because it all happened so quickly.We got Jim out
through the hole under the wall,and began to run down to the river.But the men heard us and
came after us.They began to shoot,and so we ran as fast as we could to the canoe.We got in it
and went over to Spanish Island.My raft was there,and our plan was to escape on that and go on
down river.
“Now,Jim,”I cried,“you're a free man!”We were all very happy,but Tom was the
happiest of all,because he had a bullet in his leg.
When Jim and I heard that,we weren't so happy.Tom wanted the adventure to go on,but
Jim and I said that a doctor must look at Tom's leg.Tom was getting angry about this,but Jim
said,"You listen to me,Tom Sawyer.You say I'm a free man now,and perhaps I am.But old
Jim is not going to run away and leave one of his friends with a bullet in his leg!So I'm staying
right here until a doctor comes."
I knew Jim would say that.He was a good,true friend,and you can't say that about many
people.

Well,that was the end of the adventure,really.I went and found a doctor in the town.He
was a kind old man,and he said he would go over to the island.But Tom's leg got very bad,and
the next day the doctor and some other men carried Tom home to the Phelpses'house.They
brought Jim too,and they locked him up in the hut again.But the doctor said,"Be kind to him,
because he didn't run away and he stayed to help me with the boy."
They took Tom up to bed because his leg was really bad,and Aunt Sally sat with him while
he slept.I didn't want to answer any questions so I kept out of everybody's way.
When Tom woke up the next day,he felt better.I was in the room and he said to me,"Jim's
all right,isn'the?”
I didn't know what to say because Aunt Sally was listening,and before I could stop him,
Tom went on?"We did it,Aunt Sally.We helped Jim escape."He told her all about the digging
and everything,and Aunt Sally's mouth was opening and closing like a fish.Then she got really
angry with Tom.
"That slave is locked up again and he's going to stay there.And if I catch you again..."Tom
suddenly sat up in bed."You can't do that!"he cried."Jim was old Miss Watson's slave,but she
died two months ago.Before she died,she wrote that she wanted Jim to be free,and not a slave
any more.Jim's a free man,not a slave!"
