Bill and Simon were good friends. One summer they were on v{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. They wanted to sail around the Caribbean Sea in their boat {#blank#}2{#/blank#} two weeks.

    During their trip, they saw many whales(鲸). Bill and Simon were very e{#blank#}3{#/blank#} because they had wanted to see them very much. Unluckily, w{#blank#}4{#/blank#} they were watching them, the whales began to hit(撞) the side of the boat.

    Suddenly, w{#blank#}5{#/blank#} started to come in, and they realized(意识到) they were in trouble. They {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (quick) jumped into the lifeboat before the boat sank(沉没), and watched it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (消失) under the sea.

    Luckily, they had enough food and water for about twenty d{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. They also had a fishing line and a machine which could change sea water into drinking water. These two things helped them to survive during their terrible experience.

    For the next fifty days they caught about ten fish a day and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (eat) them. They saw about twenty ships, but although they waved and shouted when the ships were passing, nobody saw them. They were becoming {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (weak). Then, just as they were beginning to lose hope, a fishing boat saved them.
