• 1．I had been in the city for some time and was coming home.I missed my boat and decided to travel on an old ship.I knew that it would not be a comfortable journey but I had no time to wait for another boat.
     Hardly had we left the port when I saw the dog Gulliver，the captain's favourite dog，for the first time.What a big dog it was！I had never seen one that could frighten me so much!
     On the third day the ship caught fire.Nobody tried to put it out.The ship began sinking and all the men rushed to the lifeboats.I saw no chance of getting away in a boat.Suddenly I remembered there was a life raft（橡皮救生筏） on the ship.I had no time，so I immediately rushed towards the raft and pushed it into the water.
     In jumping down onto the raft I hurt myself badly and was unconscious for some time.When I came to，I found there was no sign of a lifeboat.Every man who had been on board the ship must have gone down with her.I was the only one who was saved.
     Then I saw Gulliver was coming fast towards the raft.It struggled a long time before it managed to get onto the raft.I wanted to push it back into the water but did not dare to move.The dog shook itself，went to the other end of the raft and lay down.I did not dare to sleep that night.I must watch it.In the moonlight I could see its eyes were open.It was watching，too.

• 2．Diseases spread in many ways.An infected person can cough or sneeze on someone nearby，or they can spread germs through a handshake.But sometimes we pick up germs indirectly.A sick person might leave behind bacteria or viruses when they touch a door handle，for example.But what if those surfaces could clean themselves？
     Two teenagers from Hong Kong asked themselves the same question.Now they've developed a door handle that can kill germs on contact.
     The idea is simple.Every time the door is opened，the movement creates power that starts a germ-killing reaction on the handle.In lab tests，their system killed about 99.8 percent of the germs that they spread onto lab dishes covered with their material.
     Research by others has shown that door handles in public areas are often home to lots of bacteria and viruses，notes 17-year-old Sum Ming （"Simon"）Wong.He and his schoolmate Kin Pong （Michael） Li，18，wanted to design a covering for door handles that would kill germs.
     After doing some research，they learned that a mineral called titanium dioxide （二氧化钛）is known to kill bacteria.It's already used in many products，from paints to desserts.To make their covering，the teenagers made the mineral into a very fine powder.
     Titanium dioxide kills bacteria best when lit by ultraviolet （紫外线的） light，says Simon.UV light is found in sunlight.But UV light does not naturally shine on indoor handles or any used at night，so the teenagers light their door handle from within.
     To make sure the light reaches the coated surface，the teenagers made their door handle out of clear glass.Each end fits into a bracket （托架）.Inside one of the brackets is a strong light-emitting diode （LED）.From it comes UV light.
     And here's the interesting part：The power that makes the UV light shine comes from opening and closing the door.The power from the door is then carried by wire to the LED inside the door handle.
     The door handle system，Michael and Simon say，might cost no more than about ＄13 （about 81 yuan） to build.
  
  （1）The ways diseases spread are mentioned at the beginning of the text to

  .
  A．demonstrate how most diseases are spread indirectly
  B．remind readers of the importance of cleaning their hands
  C．explain how to kill bacteria or viruses effectively
  D．help to describe a new invention that prevents diseases from spreading
  （2）The LED is placed inside the brackets to

  .
  A．supply enough power to the handle system
  B．produce titanium dioxide to kill bacteria
  C．provide UV light to help titanium dioxide work better
  D．direct the UV light in sunlight to the coated surface
  （3）What is the author's attitude toward Michael and Simon's door handle system？

  
  A．Cautious
  B．Critical
  C．Disappointed
  D．Enthusiastic
