Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point, I considered turning back，” he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella！”

　　Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.

　　“Let's aim for the pier (码头)，” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim？” he cried. “A little bit，” the boys said.

　　Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.

　　“Are we almost there？” they asked again and again.“Yes，” Tim told them each time.

　　After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.

　　文章大意：为了寻找足球，两个男孩驾船进入大海，却不料遇到了危险，在Tim的帮助下，他们终于化险为夷。

　　5．Why did the two boys go to the sea?

　　A．To go boat rowing.

　　B．To get back their football.
