     My father was Chief Engineer of a merchant ship,   which was sunk in World War Ⅱ. The book
Night of the Uboats told the story.
     Memories
     In September,   1940,   my mother,   sister and I went to Swansea,   where my father"s ship was
getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep
him safe.
     Then I remember my mother lying face down,   sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship
had been sunk by a torpedo(鱼雷).
     I can remember the arrival of the telegram(电报),   which in those days always brought bad news.
My grandmother opened it. It read,   "Safe.Love Ted."
     My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father"s knee,   his arm in a
bandage.
     He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For
as long as I can remember,   he had a weak heart.Mother said it was caused  by the torpedoes. He
said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever,   he died suddenly in his early 50s.
     Ten years later I read Night of the Uboats and was able to complete the story.
    Torpedo
    One torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room,   where the third engineer was killed.
He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.
     By the time he got on deck(甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had
stuck fast. When he tried to cut it free,   it swung against the ship,   injuring his hand and arm.He had
no choice but to jump-still with the photograph in his pocket.
     Three days later,   he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow.All 23 with him signed the back of
the photograph.
     A Toast
     In my room is the book and the photograph. Often,   glass in hand,   I have wondered how I would
have dealt with an explosion,   a sinking ship,   a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? Lest(以
免)we forget,   I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.

1. We can infer that the mother and children went to Swansea________.
A. to meet a friend
B. to see the father off
C. to take a family photo
D. to enjoy the sailing of the ship

2. What did the author learn about the father from the telegram?
A. He was still alive.
B. His knee was broken.
C. His ship had been sunk.
D. He had arrived in Glasgow.

3. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 6 refers to the father"s________.
A. weak heart
B. taking a shore job
C. failure to return to sea
D. injury caused by a torpedo

4. What can we know about the author"s father after his ship was attacked?
A. He lost his arm.
B. He repaired the engines.
C. He managed to take a lifeboat.
D. He was the last to leave the ship.

5. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A group of forgotten heroes.
B. A book describing a terrifying battle.
C. A ship engineer"s wartime experience.
D. A merchant"s memories of a sea rescue.

ever imagine. You are loved by God who    15   you. In all the difficulties,   problems,   and heartaches
this world   16 ,   you are loved. In all the obstacles you must overcome,   challenges you must  17  ,
and pains you must go through,   you are loved. In all the mistakes you make,   times you stumble (绊倒),   and   18 paths you take,   you are loved. You are loved every second in your life with a glorious love
that will   19 end.
      Know that you are loved. Know that God loves you always. Rejoice (欣喜) in this love with the
  20 heart of a child. And then,   like a jolly (欢乐的) laughing Santa,   go out and share it with the world.
