After that, we went on down the river. It was very dark that night and it wasn't easy to s where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat(汽轮)came at us very fast, and the next minute it was right over us. Jim and I jumped off the raft(木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river.
When I came up out of the water, I couldn't see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “He's dead!”I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and got out. I saw that I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me. They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house,“Who's there ”
“George Jackson,” I answered quickly.“I've fallen off a river boat.”
Well, the people who lived in that house were very kind, and they took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted. It was a beautiful house and the food was good there, so I stayed.
A few days later, one of the slaves(奴隶) in the house came to me and said,“Come with me!' Together, we went down to some trees by the river.“In there!”he said and went away.
On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! I was really pleased to see him. When the steamboat hit the raft, Jim told me that the raft didn't crash. Jim swam after it and caught it. Then he began to look for me.

A film star once posted a photo of herself with her 14-year-old daughter on social media(媒体). Her daughter complained that she should have been asked before she posted the photo.
Every day, one in five parents in the UK share the photos of their children on social media.①It's a great way for friends and family to know each other's lives, especially if they do not live in the same town or country. However, some people think that children should have a say in whether pictures of them are posted online.③When they're older, they might even feel embarrassed(尴尬的)by these photos.④So, who is right and who should have the final say
Yes-parents should always ask first
Anything posted online can be there forever. These may be seen by people who the children don't want to share their childhood with. Parents probably would not like it if their children were posting photos of them without permission(允许), Even if the parent thinks it is a nice picture, the children may not agree. Also, they may not want their friends to know what they have been doing in the holidays. When the child joins a new school, or even when they get a job, people will still be able to see what they did in the past and might judge(评判).
No—parents should be trusted
Parents should be allowed(被允许)to decide what is best for their children. They should be able to share photos with people they trust. They share photos with people they know and trust. Social media is a great way to keep in touch with people and find out what family and friends are up to. Parents know how to set the right privacy settings to make sure the photos are only seen by friends and family. Besides, it is important that children's real names and the location are hidden. Parents also select photos that won't be embarrassed to the children’s because almost every child prefers to leave a good impression on others. It's a great way to make memories too. Since most people don't keep printed photos in albums, social media is the perfect place to store them instead.

A. lead into the topic B. introduce the famous film star
C. show the writer's opinion D. discuss the reason of photo posting
