A ship was broken during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it swam to a small island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors decided that they should pray to God.

However, to find out whose prayers (祈祷) were more powerful, they agreed to divide the land between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other man's side of land was still barren.

After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was broken and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island there was nothing.

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship stopped at his side of the island.

The first man got on the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven, "Why are you leaving your friend on the island?"

"My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered so he doesn't deserve (应得) anything."

"You are mistaken!" the voice said. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. He prayed that all your prayers would be answered."

1.Why didn't the two men stay together on the island?

A ship met a storm at sea and only two of the men were able to swim to a small, deserted island. Not knowing what else to do, they agreed to pray(祈祷) to God on opposite sides of the island.

Of course, the first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit tree on his side. But there was nothing on the other man’s side.

Later the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he could leave the island, and the next morning he found a ship.

The first man decided to leave alone. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice, “Why are you leaving your friend on island?”

“You are wrong!” the voice said. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of our blessings.”

“Tell me”, the first man asked, “what he prayed for?”

During a winter storm in 1919, one dog managed to save the lives of the people on the ship Ethie. Today, people still tell the story of the dog.

In December 1919, Ethie was travelling along the coast of northern Canada. Without warning, the ship ran into a bad storm. Because of high winds and heavy snow, the captain could not tell where he was going. Sailing too close to the shore (岸), the ship could not move because of some rocks. Ethie was in danger.

The captain decided to save the people on his ship. He thought it was too dangerous to try to reach the shore by lifeboat, so he sent up flares (闪光信号) to call for help. People saw the flares and rushed to the beach. The crew (船员) tried to throw a rope (绳子) to them, but there seemed to be no way to get a rope to the shore.

In the early 1900s ships often carried a large kind of dog called a Newfoundland. Newfoundlands are excellent swimmers. During sea journeys, Newfoundlands would bring back things that had fallen off the ship or even save people from the sea.

The Newfoundland on Ethie was named Tang. The captain decided that Tang offered their best hope of survival (幸存). He gave the dog a long rope. Holding the rope between his teeth, Tang jumped into the turbulent water. He fought his way through high waves and strong winds. Finally he reached the beach.

The people on the shore took the rope. The rope became the ship’s lifeline.

Because of Tang, all the people on Ethie landed on the beach safely. He was given a special medal for being a hero. Tang wore the medal for the rest of his life.

1. What happened to the ship Ethie at the beginning of the story?

A. It ran into a bad storm.

B. It couldn’t reach the shore.

C. There was a hole in it.
