A．his mind B．his religious belief C．his life experience D．his natural world B - China's navy will send three ships to the waters off Somalia this week to protect Chinese vessels and crews from pirate attacks, state media said. Two destroyers and a supply ship will leave the island province of Hainan in southern China on Dec. 26, the official Xinhua News Agency said. They will guard the Gulf of Aden and areas off the Somali coast, Foreign Ministry spokesman, Liu Jianchao, said in a statement issued late Saturday. "Their major task is to protect the safety of Chinese ships and crew on board as well as ships carrying humanitarian relief material for international organizations," Liu said. Piracy has taken an increasingly costly toll on international shipping, especially in the Gulf of Aden, one of the world's busiest sea lanes. Stimulated by widespread poverty in their homeland, the pirates have made an estimated $30 million hijacking ships for ransom this year, seizing more than 40 vessels off Somalia's 1,880-mile coastline. Earlier this week, Liu said about 20 percent of the 1,265 Chinese ships passing through the area have come under attack so far this year. Seven hijackings have involved Chinese ships or crews. Experts say most of the commercial ships are not armed, meaning crews have few options when attacked. A Chinese cargo ship's crew, aided by the international anti-piracy force, fought off an attempted hijacking this week using Molotov cocktails and water hoses. China's plans to send warships is a cautious step toward more engagement. Though Beijing has a huge global commercial maritime presence, the People's Liberation Army Navy has primarily focused on defending China's coast and, until now, limited operations abroad to port calls, goodwill visits and exercises with other navies. The Chinese fleet would join ships from the U.S., Denmark, Italy, Russia and other countries in patrollingthe Gulf of Aden, which leads to the Suez Canal and is the quickest route from Asia to Europe and the Americas. 【查看更多】

    　　He sat down in one of the chairs．The air was better here, spoilt only by the smell of cigarette smoke．This room was obviously used not only as a place of useless junk and of diseased patients but also as a resting room where people could drop in for a quiet smoke．

    　　There was complete silence all around him．He was aware at last－the realization came to him gradually－that this was really the end, it was all over, he could simply get up and go．But he had no place to go and no reason for going．He closed his eyes, and from the very depth of his being he felt a desperate sorrow rising：like dogs, here and there, like dogs on a rubbish heap．She is gone forever．He heard a soft rustling(瑟瑟声)sound and, looking up, saw crows silently flying against the grey autumn sky, just like when they were small children and went racing out into the fields．The sight calmed him a little, and he waited for the familiar sounds, but nothing came, nothing disturbed the silence all about him．
