When I was in medical college, I went camping with some of my friends. The season was summer; therefore, we chose to go to the seaside. After arriving there, we rented a room and left our luggage there. We finished lunch and then decided to rent a boat because the sea and the weather were beautiful.

We stared to row, but about one mile out, the weather suddenly changed. Although the weather was not good, we didn’t want to give up. But finally my friends and I agreed that we should go back. We tried to change the boat’s direction, but as soon as we changed it, the oarlock(浆架) broke. Therefore, we were unable to turn back. We had to wait for help because we couldn’t do anything.

After seeing the change of weather, we shouldn’t have continued to row, but it was too late. We regretted it. The sea changed a lot, the waves got very high, and the boat began to shake like a cradle. One of my friends started to cry; another started to vomit. Three hours passed, but nobody came to help us. We were just praying.

Fortunately, after five long hours of waiting, two big boats came to rescue us and we escaped. If they hadn’t come to get us, we would have crossed the border between Turkey and Greece because the border was very close.

Many people go to school for education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can’t teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think, so, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves, It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(公式). It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists before us didn’t even finish primary school. But they were all successful. They would ask many questions as they read. They worked hard all their life, wasting no single moment. 67．A teacher’s job is . A．to teach his students everything they want to know B．to teach his students how to learn more after school

I am an active girl, and I speak and laugh loudly in the classroom, like a boy. I don’t care about small matters. On the contrary, my neighbour, the girl who sits next to me, speaks quietly and dare not do the things I often do. I can understand this.

What I can’t stand（忍受） is that she often gets angry with me about small things. How can I get along with her?

Your sincerely,

Sunny
