Question

It is not easy for people to sail(航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents(事故) can happen easily and quickly.

One family once has an accident. A big fish swims under their boat and bites(咬) holes in it. Sea water comes in and the boat soon goes down. Luckily these people have another small boat--- a lifeboat, so they all get into the lifeboat. They live in the boat for many days. They eat and sleep, and always hope--- At last a ship saves them.

How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time? They must be strong in every way. They must have hope, and they must have a strong desire(愿望) to live. People cannot drink sea water. If they drink a lot of sea water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. So people cannot cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw(生) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food. They must eat raw food, or they will die.
