Organic farming is a type of agriculture that benefits from the recycling and use of natural products. The use of dried plants not only saves money, but also ensures the growth of crops. The technique is characterized by the use of green manure(肥料), biological pest-control methods and special farming techniques to keep soil productivity. Limiting the use of man-made chemicals or completely doing away with them reduces the risk of diseases. Today, organic farming is a major and preferred industry around the world. Organically grown food products have a huge market, with farmland covering about 10% of the total world-farmland cover.The hard work of Sir Albert Howard, the “father of organic farming”, has paid off.
Advantages of Organic Farming:
(1)The economics of organic farming are characterized by increasing profits through reduced water use and reduced soil erosion(侵蚀).
(2)Organic farming produces the same crops as those produced through traditional farming methods, but uses half the energy, and holds 40% more topsoil.
(3)Farming in the organic way enables farmers to get rid of weeds without the use of any chemicals.
(4)The use of green pesticides is environmentally friendly and does no harm to human health.
Disadvantages of Organic Farming:
(1)Organic methods of farming produce less, compared to traditional farming techniques.
(2)Organic agriculture does little to fight global climate change. Organic farming practices are recognized as giving out less CO2, but not to a significant degree.
However, though there are some disadvantages to organic farming, farms where organic methods for cropping have been used have more advantages than traditional farms. Organic agriculture is surely better in the long term.
24.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 show
A.Sir Albert Howard worked hard for nothing.
B.Sir Albert Howard succeeded in organic farming.
C.Sir Albert Howard spent all his time on organic farming.
D.Sir Albert Howard didn't expect organic farming to be successful.
pared to traditional farming, what do we know according to the passage
a.Organic farming is more environmentally friendly.
b.Organic farming produces a lot more food.
c.Organic farming uses less energy.
d.Organic farming results in more weeds in the farmland.
e.Organic farming is better for human health.
A.abc B.acd C.ace D.bce
26.What is the author's attitude toward organic farming
A.Anxious. B.Hopeless. C.Unclear. D.Optimistic.
27.Why did the writer write this passage
A.To tell us the development of agriculture.
B.To tell us what kind of food is being grown at present.
C.To tell us why organic farming is so popular around the world.
D.To tell us what organic farming is and its advantages and disadvantages.
C
A study showed that farms with surrounding natural habitat experienced the most benefits from birds. The study, published in Journal of Applied Ecology, was conducted at 21 strawberry fields along California's Central Coast. It found that birds were more likely to carry foodborne pathogens (病原体) and eat more berries without surrounding natural habitat.
The study looked at how different farming practices influenced the costs and benefits that wild birds provided on the strawberry farms. The scientists combined nearly 300 bird surveys and the tests of more than 1,000 droppings'(鸟粪)samples from 55 bird species to determine which birds ate pests, beneficial insects and crops, and carried foodborne pathogens.
They also ranked birds to see which were more likely to bring benefits or costs to farmlands. Barn swallows, for instance, got a “gold star” in the study. Their mud nests are commonly seen attached to the underside of eaves (屋檐), from which they fly out to fields, searching for insects.
Rather than result in a list of “good” and “bad” birds, the study found that most bird species brought both costs and benefits to farmlands, depending on how the landscape was managed. The presence of natural habitat was the single most important driver differentiating a farm where wild birds brought more benefits than harm.
Growers will tell you it's impossible to keep birds off your farm—you can't do that and don't want to from a conservation perspective. “Nature is messy, and birds are complex,” the researcher said. “The best we can do is understand how to take advantage of the benefits while reducing the harm.”
A related study in 2020 found that strawberry farms with surrounding natural habitat attracted more insect-eating birds and fewer strawberry-eating birds. Such habitats also bring greater numbers of bird species to the landscape. All together, these studies suggest that farming landscapes with natural habitat tend to be good for conservation, farmers, and public health.
28.What does the study focus on
A.Pathogens found on the strawberry farms.
B.The species of birds near farmers' fields.
C.The effect of birds' natural habitat on farming.
D.Damage to crops and strawberries on the farm.
29.What can we learn about barn swallows
A.They can bring benefits to farmland.
B.They are good at nesting on the rocks.
C.They will add to the costs of farming.
D.They are more likely to carry some viruses.
30.What mainly concerns the researchers
A.How to keep wild birds off farms.
B.How to maximize the benefits of birds.
C.How to run more farms with surrounding natural habitats.
D.How to balance the protection of birds and farm profits.
31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.More birds, more strawberries
B.Farms—the natural habitats of wild birds
C.Bringing out the best in wild birds on farms
D.The natural habitats of birds are being destroyed
D
The world's first 3D-printed wood log hive (蜂箱) is a new project developed by the LACRIMA Foundation in Edinburgh to reduce the troubling decline of honeybee populations around the world.
The LACRIMA Foundation is a charity that is “committed to the conservation and protection of one of the Earth's most important inhabitants”. The charity teamed up with beekeepers in Europe to work towards a rewilding approach that would offer bees a natural nesting habitat and, in turn, create resilience (复原力) among bee communities.
Honeybees are one of the most important pollinators (授粉者), and although they may seem small and insignificant, they are vital for the production of our food—we couldn't eat without them! However, in recent years, bee populations have been severely impacted by the growing climate emergency and our intensive agriculture practices, including the overuse of pesticides.
With help from local partners, the Foundation created 3D-printed wood log hives, which allow the bees to live in an undisturbed ecosystem where they can carry out their lives. They install these hives in high sections of tree trunks to simulate (模拟) natural conditions for the big honeybee populations.
Vince Moucha, chairman of the LACRIMA Foundation, said, “Even though there are other people and organisations working in the field of natural beekeeping, the impact, progress and scope of these projects are minimal and slow, due to limited access to resources and clear vision. I am driven by responsibility and have decided to act on it due to the urgency and importance of this matter.”
The Foundation will continue to work with beekeepers in the UK, Europe, and the United States to help our bee populations survive and thrive for them and us! Check out the LACRIMA Foundation, where you can see their mission and make a donation to the cause and even get a honeybee gift bracelet (手链) in return.
32.What is the project of the LACRIMA Foundation aimed at
A.Developing new habitats for struggling bees.
B.Increasing the production of human food.
C.Teaming up with beekeepers for fundraising.
D.Studying the cause of bees' population loss.
33.Why does the Foundation put hives in the high trees
A.To model the natural habitats for bees.
B.To protect bees from the climate crisis.
C.To help bees avoid pesticides.
D.To test the first 3D-printed hives.
34.What caused Vince Moucha to start the project
A.The effect of other organisations.
B.The progress of other projects.
C.The responsibility to care about people.
D.The difficult position of bees.
35.What does the author call on us to do in the last paragraph
A.Benefit from the Foundation.
B.Help bees survive with beekeepers.
C.Support the work of the Foundation.
D.Live in harmony with Nature.

Vegan Agriculture
Vegan farming (全素农业) has become more and more popular. It is one of the most environmentally-friendly forms of agriculture. Vegan farming is a good way to grow plants such as vegetables without using animal-derived materials such as their waste. 36 Such an approach to farming also helps preserve the environment and regain soil richness and improve its biodiversity.
37 Organic farming uses natural products to grow plants—that can include even animal waste as fertilizers. On the other hand, vegan agriculture rejects animal-derived products and usually sticks with plant-based organic compounds, which means that, in general, vegan agriculture has stricter rules than organic farming.
Additionally, vegan farming usually chooses more natural ways to protect the plants, like breaking cycles of plants' diseases with mixed cropping (混作), using mechanical barriers(机械屏障)such as nets, or even attracting opposing organisms to fight the harmful ones. 38 However, they might be less effective against certain plant diseases or pests.
One of the reasons to develop vegan agriculture is that the vegan way of farming replaces synthetic (合成的) pesticides and uses organic pesticides or other non-chemical methods to protect the crops. By contrast, in conventional agriculture, synthetic pesticides are on a very high level. 39
In the future, it is of great significance not to rely on animals' waste to feed plants. Doing so is not only beneficial to vegans. 40 Even if today's methods of vegan agriculture might not be perfect, scientists worldwide, together with vegan farmers, are working towards developing plant-based solutions as alternatives to animal-derived fertilizers.
A.Accordingly, the amount of them in food products is much higher.
B.Also, vegan farmers are far from applying synthetic fertilizers.
C.It is apparent that vegan agriculture is not the same as organic farming.
D.In today's world, the vegan diet and lifestyle are increasingly popular.
E.But it's also good for the whole world, including other animals and plants.
F.These ways affect the environment less than the ways of traditional farming.
G.The rise of veganism creates new demand for more vegan-friendly agriculture.

After six hours of fishing, John Franklin and his sister Jane were ready to call it a day. It was 7 pm. The summer sun was setting, and the fishes had stopped biting. But Jane's 12-year-old son Conrad was having so much fun that he begged “Let's do just one more run.” Since the mild weather was holding out, why not John turned the boat around and headed back.
Yet, you never knew. They hadn't even cast their lines when the wind picked up suddenly. Rough waves began battling against the little boat. “Check your life jackets and hold the boat!” John shouted. As Jane and her son were on the point of screaming, two big waves rolled over, one right after the other. Within a few seconds, the boat tipped(倾斜), backward and turned over, throwing three of them into the water.
Out of the worst, the luckiest thing was that they had life jackets on and the boat didn't sink immediately. Everyone grabbed onto it. “Let's get back in the boat, Mommy,” Conrad cried, trembling with fear.
“Don't panic. People know we're out here,” Jane comforted him. “They'll send help soon.”
Treading water, the adults exchanged worried looks. They were floating in the middle of nowhere. “I knew we were in a tight spot,” said John, a third-generation commercial fisherman who, like Jane, had been raised on the bay.
When a strong wind blew about half an hour with no sign of dying down, they had to make some decisions. It had been a perfect July day, with the water at a temperate 20 degrees centigrade, but everyone was cold by 9 pm.
If they weren't rescued soon, they might not survive the night, John recognized, but the closest shoreline was about three miles away, lit by only a few glowing house lights.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Looking at the lights in the distance,John asked his sister in a low voice, “Should I do it ”
About three hours later,John reached the shoreline and saw the house in lights.

Inspired by Yuan Longping, I'm determined to study hard now and I hope I can help Chinese people live a better life some day.
第二节
One possible version:
Looking at the lights in the distance,John asked his sister in a low voice,“Should I do it ”“Yeah, do it. We will take care of ourselves here,” Jane encouraged. After leaving the boat, John focused on swimming and his muscles started to burn soon. Strong tides pushed him up the shoreline, and then pulled him in the opposite direction. Many times John doubted whether it was a right choice. What if he failed halfway But he continued, meters after meters, driven by the image of his family drifting helplessly back at the boat.
About three hours later,John reached the shoreline and saw the house in lights. Exhausted, he pulled himself out of water, staggered along and called for help. Hearing John's desperate cries, people in the cottage rushed out immediately. Realizing what had happened, they swung into action. Soon, a search party jumped into a boat, heading for Jane and the boy. Luckily, they were pulled from the bay in time, miraculously unharmed. Jane knew it was thanks to her brother. “He's my hero,” she said. “He always has been.”

Organic farming is a type of agriculture that benefits from the recycling and use of natural products. The use of dried plants not only saves money, but also ensures the growth of crops. The technique is characterized by the use of green manure(肥料), biological pest-control methods and special farming techniques to keep soil productivity. Limiting the use of man-made chemicals or completely doing away with them reduces the risk of diseases. Today, organic farming is a major and preferred industry around the world. Organically grown food products have a huge market, with farmland covering about 10% of the total world-farmland cover.The hard work of Sir Albert Howard, the “father of organic farming”, has paid off.
Advantages of Organic Farming:
(1)The economics of organic farming are characterized by increasing profits through reduced water use and reduced soil erosion(侵蚀).
(2)Organic farming produces the same crops as those produced through traditional farming methods, but uses half the energy, and holds 40% more topsoil.
(3)Farming in the organic way enables farmers to get rid of weeds without the use of any chemicals.
(4)The use of green pesticides is environmentally friendly and does no harm to human health.
Disadvantages of Organic Farming:
(1)Organic methods of farming produce less, compared to traditional farming techniques.
(2)Organic agriculture does little to fight global climate change. Organic farming practices are recognized as giving out less CO2, but not to a significant degree.
However, though there are some disadvantages to organic farming, farms where organic methods for cropping have been used have more advantages than traditional farms. Organic agriculture is surely better in the long term.
24.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 show
A.Sir Albert Howard worked hard for nothing.
B.Sir Albert Howard succeeded in organic farming.
C.Sir Albert Howard spent all his time on organic farming.
D.Sir Albert Howard didn't expect organic farming to be successful.
pared to traditional farming, what do we know according to the passage
a.Organic farming is more environmentally friendly.
b.Organic farming produces a lot more food.
c.Organic farming uses less energy.
d.Organic farming results in more weeds in the farmland.
e.Organic farming is better for human health.
A.abc B.acd C.ace D.bce
26.What is the author's attitude toward organic farming
A.Anxious. B.Hopeless. C.Unclear. D.Optimistic.
27.Why did the writer write this passage
A.To tell us the development of agriculture.
B.To tell us what kind of food is being grown at present.
C.To tell us why organic farming is so popular around the world.
D.To tell us what organic farming is and its advantages and disadvantages.
C
A study showed that farms with surrounding natural habitat experienced the most benefits from birds. The study, published in Journal of Applied Ecology, was conducted at 21 strawberry fields along California's Central Coast. It found that birds were more likely to carry foodborne pathogens (病原体) and eat more berries without surrounding natural habitat.
The study looked at how different farming practices influenced the costs and benefits that wild birds provided on the strawberry farms. The scientists combined nearly 300 bird surveys and the tests of more than 1,000 droppings'(鸟粪)samples from 55 bird species to determine which birds ate pests, beneficial insects and crops, and carried foodborne pathogens.
They also ranked birds to see which were more likely to bring benefits or costs to farmlands. Barn swallows, for instance, got a “gold star” in the study. Their mud nests are commonly seen attached to the underside of eaves (屋檐), from which they fly out to fields, searching for insects.
Rather than result in a list of “good” and “bad” birds, the study found that most bird species brought both costs and benefits to farmlands, depending on how the landscape was managed. The presence of natural habitat was the single most important driver differentiating a farm where wild birds brought more benefits than harm.
Growers will tell you it's impossible to keep birds off your farm—you can't do that and don't want to from a conservation perspective. “Nature is messy, and birds are complex,” the researcher said. “The best we can do is understand how to take advantage of the benefits while reducing the harm.”
A related study in 2020 found that strawberry farms with surrounding natural habitat attracted more insect-eating birds and fewer strawberry-eating birds. Such habitats also bring greater numbers of bird species to the landscape. All together, these studies suggest that farming landscapes with natural habitat tend to be good for conservation, farmers, and public health.
28.What does the study focus on
A.Pathogens found on the strawberry farms.
B.The species of birds near farmers' fields.
C.The effect of birds' natural habitat on farming.
D.Damage to crops and strawberries on the farm.
29.What can we learn about barn swallows
A.They can bring benefits to farmland.
B.They are good at nesting on the rocks.
C.They will add to the costs of farming.
D.They are more likely to carry some viruses.
30.What mainly concerns the researchers
A.How to keep wild birds off farms.
B.How to maximize the benefits of birds.
C.How to run more farms with surrounding natural habitats.
D.How to balance the protection of birds and farm profits.
31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.More birds, more strawberries
B.Farms—the natural habitats of wild birds
C.Bringing out the best in wild birds on farms
D.The natural habitats of birds are being destroyed
D
The world's first 3D-printed wood log hive (蜂箱) is a new project developed by the LACRIMA Foundation in Edinburgh to reduce the troubling decline of honeybee populations around the world.
The LACRIMA Foundation is a charity that is “committed to the conservation and protection of one of the Earth's most important inhabitants”. The charity teamed up with beekeepers in Europe to work towards a rewilding approach that would offer bees a natural nesting habitat and, in turn, create resilience (复原力) among bee communities.
Honeybees are one of the most important pollinators (授粉者), and although they may seem small and insignificant, they are vital for the production of our food—we couldn't eat without them! However, in recent years, bee populations have been severely impacted by the growing climate emergency and our intensive agriculture practices, including the overuse of pesticides.
With help from local partners, the Foundation created 3D-printed wood log hives, which allow the bees to live in an undisturbed ecosystem where they can carry out their lives. They install these hives in high sections of tree trunks to simulate (模拟) natural conditions for the big honeybee populations.
Vince Moucha, chairman of the LACRIMA Foundation, said, “Even though there are other people and organisations working in the field of natural beekeeping, the impact, progress and scope of these projects are minimal and slow, due to limited access to resources and clear vision. I am driven by responsibility and have decided to act on it due to the urgency and importance of this matter.”
The Foundation will continue to work with beekeepers in the UK, Europe, and the United States to help our bee populations survive and thrive for them and us! Check out the LACRIMA Foundation, where you can see their mission and make a donation to the cause and even get a honeybee gift bracelet (手链) in return.
32.What is the project of the LACRIMA Foundation aimed at
A.Developing new habitats for struggling bees.
B.Increasing the production of human food.
C.Teaming up with beekeepers for fundraising.
D.Studying the cause of bees' population loss.
33.Why does the Foundation put hives in the high trees
A.To model the natural habitats for bees.
B.To protect bees from the climate crisis.
C.To help bees avoid pesticides.
D.To test the first 3D-printed hives.
34.What caused Vince Moucha to start the project
A.The effect of other organisations.
B.The progress of other projects.
C.The responsibility to care about people.
D.The difficult position of bees.
35.What does the author call on us to do in the last paragraph
A.Benefit from the Foundation.
B.Help bees survive with beekeepers.
C.Support the work of the Foundation.
D.Live in harmony with Nature.

Vegan Agriculture
Vegan farming (全素农业) has become more and more popular. It is one of the most environmentally-friendly forms of agriculture. Vegan farming is a good way to grow plants such as vegetables without using animal-derived materials such as their waste. 36 Such an approach to farming also helps preserve the environment and regain soil richness and improve its biodiversity.
37 Organic farming uses natural products to grow plants—that can include even animal waste as fertilizers. On the other hand, vegan agriculture rejects animal-derived products and usually sticks with plant-based organic compounds, which means that, in general, vegan agriculture has stricter rules than organic farming.
Additionally, vegan farming usually chooses more natural ways to protect the plants, like breaking cycles of plants' diseases with mixed cropping (混作), using mechanical barriers(机械屏障)such as nets, or even attracting opposing organisms to fight the harmful ones. 38 However, they might be less effective against certain plant diseases or pests.
One of the reasons to develop vegan agriculture is that the vegan way of farming replaces synthetic (合成的) pesticides and uses organic pesticides or other non-chemical methods to protect the crops. By contrast, in conventional agriculture, synthetic pesticides are on a very high level. 39
In the future, it is of great significance not to rely on animals' waste to feed plants. Doing so is not only beneficial to vegans. 40 Even if today's methods of vegan agriculture might not be perfect, scientists worldwide, together with vegan farmers, are working towards developing plant-based solutions as alternatives to animal-derived fertilizers.
A.Accordingly, the amount of them in food products is much higher.
B.Also, vegan farmers are far from applying synthetic fertilizers.
C.It is apparent that vegan agriculture is not the same as organic farming.
D.In today's world, the vegan diet and lifestyle are increasingly popular.
E.But it's also good for the whole world, including other animals and plants.
F.These ways affect the environment less than the ways of traditional farming.
G.The rise of veganism creates new demand for more vegan-friendly agriculture.

After six hours of fishing, John Franklin and his sister Jane were ready to call it a day. It was 7 pm. The summer sun was setting, and the fishes had stopped biting. But Jane's 12-year-old son Conrad was having so much fun that he begged “Let's do just one more run.” Since the mild weather was holding out, why not John turned the boat around and headed back.
Yet, you never knew. They hadn't even cast their lines when the wind picked up suddenly. Rough waves began battling against the little boat. “Check your life jackets and hold the boat!” John shouted. As Jane and her son were on the point of screaming, two big waves rolled over, one right after the other. Within a few seconds, the boat tipped(倾斜), backward and turned over, throwing three of them into the water.
Out of the worst, the luckiest thing was that they had life jackets on and the boat didn't sink immediately. Everyone grabbed onto it. “Let's get back in the boat, Mommy,” Conrad cried, trembling with fear.
“Don't panic. People know we're out here,” Jane comforted him. “They'll send help soon.”
Treading water, the adults exchanged worried looks. They were floating in the middle of nowhere. “I knew we were in a tight spot,” said John, a third-generation commercial fisherman who, like Jane, had been raised on the bay.
When a strong wind blew about half an hour with no sign of dying down, they had to make some decisions. It had been a perfect July day, with the water at a temperate 20 degrees centigrade, but everyone was cold by 9 pm.
If they weren't rescued soon, they might not survive the night, John recognized, but the closest shoreline was about three miles away, lit by only a few glowing house lights.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Looking at the lights in the distance,John asked his sister in a low voice, “Should I do it ”
About three hours later,John reached the shoreline and saw the house in lights.

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了附近有鸟类自然栖息地的农场能受益于鸟类。
28.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知,研究发现,附近有鸟类自然栖息地的农场能受益于鸟类。根据第一段最后一句可知,在周围没有自然栖息地的情况下鸟类更有可能携带食源性病原体,并且吃更多的浆果。所以这项研究的重点是鸟类的自然栖息地对农场业的影响。故选C。
29.A 细节理解题。根据第三段前两句可知,他们还对鸟类进行排名,看哪些更有可能给农田带来收益或成本。例如,家燕在这项研究中获得了一颗“金星”。所以我们从中了解到家燕可以为农田带来好处。故选A。
30.B 推理判断题。根据第四段的“the study found that most bird species brought both costs and benefits to farmlands”可知,鸟类对农田的作用是双面的。结合第五段研究者说的话“The best we can do is understand how to take advantage of the benefits while reducing the harm.”可知,我们能做的就是了解如何在减少损害的同时利用这些好处。由以上信息可知,如何趋利避害成为农业从业者主要关心的问题。故推知,研究人员关注的是如何最大限度地利用鸟类对农场积极的那一面。故选B。
31.C 主旨大意题。文章讲到研究发现,周围有自然栖息地的农场从鸟类那里获益最多。而大多数鸟类对农田的作用是双面的,我们能做的就是趋利避害。故C选项“Bringing out the best in wild birds on farms(把野生鸟类最好的一面表现在农场)”作为本文标题最合适。故选C。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了世界上第一个3D打印的原木蜂箱用于帮助生存艰难的蜜蜂种群。

33.A 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“They install these hives in high sections of tree trunks to simulate natural conditions for the big honeybee populations.”可知,把蜂巢放在高树上是为了模拟蜜蜂的自然栖息地。故选A。
34.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“I am driven by responsibility and have decided to act on it due to the urgency and importance of this matter.”可知,由于此事的紧迫性和重要性,Vince Moucha觉得自己有责任去做这个项目。故可推知,是蜜蜂的这种艰难状况让Vince Moucha启动该项目。故选D。
35.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句的“make a donation to the cause(向该事业捐款)”可知,作者在最后一段号召我们支持LACRIMA基金会的工作。故选C。

39.A 细节句。根据上句提到的“相比之下,在传统农业中,合成农药的用量非常高”可知,A项“因此,它们在食品中的含量要高得多”承接上文,与上句构成因果关系,符合语境。故选A。
40.E 过渡句。根据上句“Doing so is not only beneficial to vegans.”可知,此处介绍全素农业的好处。分析选项可知,E项“But it's also good for the whole world, including other animals and plants.”也在介绍全素农业的好处,前后句使用了not only和but also的递进句式,符合语境。故选E。

第一节
One possible version:
Known as the “father of hybrid rice”, Yuan Longping was awarded the Medal of the Republic for his outstanding contributions to agriculture.
Since he was young, Yuan had devoted himself to boosting rice yields, which became his life goal. Through many years of research, his efforts paid off. His super hybrid rice has a high output and helps feed people at home and abroad.
Inspired by Yuan Longping, I'm determined to study hard now and I hope I can help Chinese people live a better life some day.
第二节
One possible version:
Looking at the lights in the distance,John asked his sister in a low voice,“Should I do it ”“Yeah, do it. We will take care of ourselves here,” Jane encouraged. After leaving the boat, John focused on swimming and his muscles started to burn soon. Strong tides pushed him up the shoreline, and then pulled him in the opposite direction. Many times John doubted whether it was a right choice. What if he failed halfway But he continued, meters after meters, driven by the image of his family drifting helplessly back at the boat.
About three hours later,John reached the shoreline and saw the house in lights. Exhausted, he pulled himself out of water, staggered along and called for help. Hearing John's desperate cries, people in the cottage rushed out immediately. Realizing what had happened, they swung into action. Soon, a search party jumped into a boat, heading for Jane and the boy. Luckily, they were pulled from the bay in time, miraculously unharmed. Jane knew it was thanks to her brother. “He's my hero,” she said. “He always has been.”
