In ancient times people had to free-dive to get food, such as fish and shellfish. Free divers also c 50 . treasures lying at the bottom of the ocean. The Mediterranean Sea, south of Europe, had many trading ships passing through. Often ships sank, sometimes because of storms. They would swim down to the shipwreck and try to lift the most precious pieces. In modern times, free-diving is part of many different a51 . such as underwater photography and spearfishing. Sports such as underwater football, rugby and hockey also involve free-diving.The most dangerous free-diving is practised by a small group of extreme sportsmen and sportswomen who swim very deep.

She would go into a deep state of being quiet and thinking before she went into the water. She would leave b56 . her the stress of life, which she called “surface fuss”. According to Natalia, when you stop breathing, most of your bodys functions stop. It is as if time itself stopped.七、回答问题We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very good job.

Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion(场合)? Why are you speaking? Then, collect as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time putting your material in good order so that your speech is clear and easy to follow.

She became suspicious（怀疑的） when she saw him knocking on her neighbors door.“Why would someone keep knocking on doors when Id already told him what he wanted to know?” she said.“I rang the police when I saw him disappear around the side of the house.”“He came out ten minutes later carrying a bag I hadnt seen before. The police still hadnt arrived and I was determined not to lose sight of him.”Thats when the drama really began .Ms Anderson followed the man to the station.“I was absolutely（完全地） terrified.” She said.“I followed him in my car to the station. He was on foot and when he got there I lost sight of him. I panicked（恐慌） but, a few minutes later, I saw him on the platform.
