Warming up by learning something about William BlighWilliam Bligh in 1814Vice Admiral of the Blue William Bligh, FRS (9 September 1754 - 7 December 1817) was an officer of the British Royal Navy and colonial administrator. He is best known for the famous mutiny that occurred against his mand aboard HMAV (His Majestys Armed Vessel) Bounty and the remarkable voyage he made to Timor on the Bountys launch after being set adrift by the mutineers. Many years after the Bounty mutiny he was appointed Governor of New South Wales, with a brief to clean up the corrupt rum trade of the NSW Corps. He had some success in his task but quickly faced opposition which culminated in the Rum Rebellion led by John Macarthur. Although William Bligh was certainly not the vicious man portrayed in popular fiction, some claim his over-sensitivity and acid tongue damaged what would have otherwise been a distinguished career.II.

Ten yuan is enough.THE GREATEST NAVIGATIONAL JOURNEY:A LESSON IN SURVIVALI am proud to have sailed with Captain Bligh /on his journey of over 40 days/ through about 4，000 miles/ in an open boat /across the Pacific Ocean /in 1789. Our outward voyage/ in the“Bounty /to Tahiti /had been filled with the kind of incidents /that I thought/ would be my stories/ when l returned homeBut /how wrong I was! On our departure /from Tahiti，some of the crew/ took over the ship. They deposited the captain /into a small boat/ to 1et him find his own way homeBut/ who else was to go with him? Those of us /on board/ the“Bounty”were caught in a dilemmaWas it better /to risk certain death /by sitting close together/ on a small，crowded open boat /with very little food/ and water? Or should one stay on the“Bounty”/with the crew /and face certain death /from the British Navy /if caught? The drawback of staying /on the ship seemed to grow /as l thought about how wrong it was to treat Captain Bligh /in this waySo I joined him /in the small boatAs dusk fell，we seemed to face an uncertain futureWe had no charts/ and the only instruments/ the captain was allowed to take with him /were a pass /and a quadrant Once we were at sea，our routine /every day was the sameAt sunrise /and sunset /the captain measured our position /using the quadrant/ and set the course /using the passIt was extremely difficult for us to get a correct reading /from the quadrant/ as the boat moved constantlyThe captain used a system /called“dead reckoning”He knew there was land /directly northwest of our original position. So /his task was to make sure /we stayed on that course. As you can see from the map/ we kept to a straight course pretty well. In addition, the captain kept us all busy /reading the tables /to work out our position. Although this took a great deal of time, it didnt matter. Time was, after all, what we had a lot of! Our daily food was shared equally /among us all：One piece of bread /and one cup of waterIt was starvation quantities /but the extreme lack of water was the hardest /to cope with psychologicallyImagine all that water/ around you，but none of it was safe to drink /because the salt /in it would drive you mad! All the time /the captain tried to preserve our good spirits/ by telling stories /and talking hopefully about /what we would do/ when we got back to EnglandWe only half believed him The tension /in the boat got worse /as the supply of food/ and water /gradually disappearedWe could foresee that /we would die/ if we could not reach land very soon/ and we sank gradually into a sleepy, half-alive stateThe captain was as weak as the rest of us, but he was determined /not to give upHe continued his navigational measurements /every dayHe kept us busy/ and tried to take our minds off our stomachs/ and our thirstHe kept us alive You could not imagine a more disturbing sight /than what we looked like /when arriving in Timor /over forty days /after being set loose /in our small boatOur clothes were torn，we had fever /and our faces showed the hardships /we had sufferedBut after a rest，some good meals/ and some new clothes，everything changedWe couldnt stop talking about our voyage /and everybody wanted to hear about itWe were the heroes/ who had escaped the jaws of death/ by pleting the greatest navigational feat of all time!III.

Listening and speaking about Viking sailing and Polynesian seamenThe name Viking is a borrowed word from the native Scandinavian term for the Norse warriors who raided the coasts of Scandinavia, the British Isles, and other parts of Europe from the late 8th century to the 11th century. Vikings traveled to the west and Varangians, who were best known as the Varangian Guards of the Byzantine emperors, to the east. This period of European history (generally dated to 793 - 1066 AD) is referred to as the Viking Age. The word “Viking” was introduced to the English language with romantic connotations in the 18th century. Today, somewhat controversially, the word is also used as a generic adjective, referring to the Viking Age Scandinavians. The medieval Scandinavian population, in general, is more properly referred to as Norse.Where is Polynesia?A division of Oceania including scattered islands of the central and southern Pacific Ocean roughly between New Zealand, Hawaii, and Easter Island. The larger islands are volcanic, the smaller ones generally coral formations.Now go to page 19. Lets go to listen to something about Viking sailing the oceans. While listening try to circle those aids in the box on page 19 that the early sailors used to find their ways at sea. Now you shall listen to the tape once again to fill in the chart on page 19.On page 20 there are four sayings from Polynesian seamen.What does each of them mean?Now in pairs talk about each of the sayings.V. Closing down by Zheng He, a great Chinese sailorCheng Ho or Zheng He (both: jng h) , 1371c.1433, admiral, diplomat, and explorer during Chinas Ming dynasty. At 10 he was captured by Chinese troops in Yunnan, castrated, and sent into the army. He rose in the ranks, became an officer, and in 1404 was named Grand Eunuch by Emperor Yung-lo. The following year the emperor selected him to lead the first of seven epic expeditions (140533) that served to expand Chinese political influence and increase its tribute and trade. Sailing to SE Asia (140507), he manded 62 ships laden with porcelain, lacquer, silk, gems, and other luxury goods. Subsequently manding treasure fleets ranging from about 50 to more than 100 vessels, some of which were 500 ft (153 m) long, he also later sailed to India, Sri Lanka, Arabia, E Africa, and Egypt. On his fourth voyage (141315), Cheng returned with envoys from 30 foreign states who rendered homage to the emperor and sailed home on his sixth voyage (142123). Although China returned to an isolationist policy after the emperors death (1424), Cheng made one last voyage (143133). A controversial theory posits that Cheng discovered the New World during his 1420s voyage, some 70 years before Columbus.
