M: There are more road accidents per day than air deaths per year.Air transport is really safe compared with road transport.

　　W: I still prefer to go by sea.Ships may not travel fast but at least you can relax.I'd love a trip on a luxury liner like the Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ.

　　M: It's fine if you're a good sailor, but have you ever traveled far in a rough sea?

　　W: No.I've only been in a boat once.I sailed down the River Thames on a sightseeing tour, but in any case I'd rather be seasick than dead.

　　Text 10

　　Hello, everyone.I'd like to tell you a story about Miss Richards.

　　Miss Richards was a teacher at a school for boys and girls.She taught chemistry and physics from the lowest to the highest classes in the school.Sometimes the new classes learned rapidly, but sometimes they were very slow, and then Miss Richards had to repeat things many times.

　　One year, the first class had been studying chemistry for several weeks when Miss Richards suddenly asked, “What is water? Who knows? Hands up.”

　　There was a silence for a few seconds, and Miss Richards felt disappointed and sad.She waited patiently and then one boy raised his hand.

　　“Yes, Dick？” said Miss Richards encouragingly.He was not one of the brightest students in the class, so she was glad this boy could answer.

　　“Water is a liquid that has no color until you wash your hands in it, and then turns black.” the boy replied.
