五、阅读理解

In 1674, I was born on my father's small farm in Nottingham shire, England. I was the third of five sons. My childhood was very happy. I liked going to school and learning new things. But I used to daydream about going to sea.

One day, Father asked,“Lemuel, have you thought about your future? I think you would be a good doctor.”

I wanted to please him, so I said,“Yes,Father. I' ll go to Cambridge University and study medicine.” But as I spoke I was thinking,“At university I can also learn things that will be useful to a sailor.”

After several years of study, I became a doctor. Not long after that, I asked my sweetheart,Mary, to marry me. Before long, we had children,a boy and a girl. They gave us great joy. I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years. But then I became bored, and ideas of travel filled my mind.I imagined going to far-off places and seeing wonderful new things.

“Mary,”I said one day,“I need more adventure in my life. The captain of a ship about to sail has offered me a job as the ship's doctor,don't know how long the journey will take, but promise I will return. And when I do, I' ll tell you and the children all about my adventures.”

So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol. That city is a large and very old port(港城市) in the southwest of England. The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal！

“Welcome aboard,  Doctor Gulliver,”said.“First we' ll be sailing down the Atlantic Ocean and around the coast of Africa. Then we sail through the Indian Ocean to the South Seas.Our  journey     went     well     until     one  morning somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean.

“I don't like the look of those clouds,”captain said.“I think a storm is coming.”

Within an hour, a big storm began. The sea rose in great, angry waves much taller than the Antelope. The wind, now as strong as a hurricane,made a terrible sound.

“The wind is blowing the ship off course！shouted the captain.“Look out！”
