When I was twenty seven years old, I was a clerk in San Francisco, and an expert at stock（股票）. I was content with the prospect（前景）.
One day I ventured in a small boat too far, and was carried out to sea．Just at nightfall, when hope was about gone, I was picked up by a small brig（双桅船）which was bound for London. When I stepped ashore in London my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I had only a dollar in my pocket.
About ten o'clock on the following morning, thirsty and hungry, I was dragging myself along Portland Place, when a child that was passing, towed （牵着）by a nurse-maid, threw a luscious（甘甜的）big pear--minus one bite--into the gutter（排水沟）. I stopped, of course, and fastened my desiring eye on that muddy treasure. My mouth watered for it, my stomach craved（恳求）it, my whole being begged for it. But every time I made a move to get it some passing eye detected my purpose, and of course I straightened up then, and looked indifferent（无关紧要的）, and pretended that I hadn't been thinking about the pear at all. This same thing kept happening and happening, and I couldn't get the pear. I was just getting desperate（不顾一切的）enough to brave all the shame, and to seize it, when a window behind me was raised, and a gentleman spoke out of it, saying,
“Step in here, please.”
I was admitted by a well-dressed flunkey（仆役）, and shown into a sumptuous（华丽的）room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting. They sent away the servant. and made me sit down. They had just finished their breakfast, and the sight of the remains of it almost overpowered me. I could hardly keep my wits together in the presence of that food, but as I was not asked to sample it, I had to bear my trouble as best I could.

A moment later I heard my uncle calling me, and found the two men on the road together. The captain then addressed me as if I was his equal, which was very pleasing to a young fellow like me.
"Sir," said he, "Mr. Balfour tells me great things of you, and I like your looks. I wish I was staying here longer so that we might become friends. But we'll make the most of the short time that we have. You must come on board my brig（双桅船） for half an hour and have a drink with me."
Now, I cannot describe how eager 1 was to see the inside of a ship. But I was not going to put myself in danger, and I told him my uncle and I had an appointment with a lawyer.
"Yes," said he, "he told me of that. But, you see, the boat will set you on shore farther along, near Rankeillor's house." And here he suddenly leaned down and whispered in my ear: "Take care; the old devil（恶魔） has evil plans. Come on board till I can have a Word with you."
Then, passing his arm through mine, he continued aloud, as he set off towards his boat: "Now what can I bring you from Carolina? Any friend of Mr. Balfour can ask for what he likes. A roll of tobacco? Indian feather work? A wild beast's skin? A stone pipe? A mocking-bird that cries just like a cat? Make your choice and give your order."
By this time we were beside his boat and he was helping me in. I did not dream of refusing. I thought （like a fool） that 1 had found a friend and helper, and I was looking forward to seeing the ship. As soon as we were all in our places the boat was pushed off and began to move over the water. I was so delighted with this new experience that I hardly understood what the captain said, and must have answered him without thinking.
As soon as we were alongside, Hoseason ordered a rope and chair to be sent down, declaring that he and I must be the first to go on board．I was lifted into the air and set down again on the deck（甲板）, where the captain stood waiting for me and immediately slipped his arm under mine. I stood there, rather confused and perhaps a little afraid, but delighted with the strange things all around me, while the captain pointed out some of the strangest and told me their names and uses.
And then I saw that my uncle was not with us.
I felt I was lost. With all my strength, I tore myself out of the captain's grasp and ran to the side of the ship. Yes, there was the ship being rowed back to the shore, with my uncle sitting in it. I gave a wild cry-so loud that it rang out over the harbor, and my uncle turned around and showed me a face full of cruelty and terror.
That was the last thing I saw. Already strong hands had been pulling me back fromthe ship's side, and now lightning seemed to strike me. I saw a great flash of fire, and fell unconscious.
1．This passage is most probably taken from _________.
A．a voyage magazine B．a literature novel
C．a science fiction D．a newspaper report
2．Rankeillor, in the fourth paragraph, is perhaps ___________.
A．a lawyer B．a devil C．a captain D．a house
3．After reading the last two paragraphs, we can see that _________ .
A．the author's uncle had an ugly face
B．the author fell unconscious because of the flash of lightning
C．the uncle most probably had participated in the evil plan
D．the author got wild and mad in the end
4．From the whole passage, we can know that ______ .
A．the author was actually kidnapped（绑架）
B．the author finally found a friend and helper
C．the author was very eager and pleased to get on board the ship
D．the author's uncle was terribly unwilling to leave him behind
