三、阅读理解
Three fishermen were saved yesterday from a small island in the South Pacific. The men had disappeared for more than three months.
They had left Taiwan in a small fishing boat and had planned a week-long trip. On their fifth day, however, they met a typhoon(台风), and it badly broke their boat.
Luckily, none of the men was hurt. After the typhoon had passed, though, they discovered that the engine(发动机) wouldn’t start, so their boat just drifted(漂流) at sea for over a month. During this time, the fishermen caught fish to eat and drank rain water to stay alive.
Finally, the boat drifted toward a small island. When it got close enough, the men jumped out and swam to the island. On the island, they found fresh fruit and vegetables, and they continued to catch fish to eat.

Mr Knight was the manager of a hotel. One weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday night, three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr Knight said that there were no rooms ready for use because they had no place to stay.
Mr Knight wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a very small room, was empty. He asked the men if they would share a room. The three men said they would.
Mr Knight told them that the room would be thirty dollars: ten for each one. Each man gave him ten dollars, and then they went up to the room.

The assistant took the money. While he was on his way to Room 418, he started to think: “How can three men divide(分配) five dollars? I’ll keep two dollars. The men will be happy to get anything back.

Skateboarding
Surfers use boards to ride ocean waves. However, when the waves are too small, surfers can’t surf. In 1960s, surfers took wheels from roller skates and attached(系在) them to a flat（平的） board to create(创造) the first skateboard. The new sport of sidewalk surfing was called skateboarding.

These softer wheels make it possible for skateboarders to jump curbs(路边), to turn, and to spin（快速旋转）. Skill at skateboarding requires a lot of practice. Sketeboarders keep from getting hurt by wearing helmets(头盔) and pads.(衬垫)
