Robinson Crusoe, supposedly based on the real adventure, is in fact, a work of sheer imagination. The novel consists actually of three parts though only the first part is most well-known and widely read. In this part the hero of the story, Robinson Crusoe, narrates in the first person how he goes to sea, gets shipwrecked and marooned (困在某处的) on an isolated island, struggles to live for twenty-eight years there and finally gets relieved and returns to England.

Read the passage and answer the questions.
Daniel Defoe was an English writer, who is best known for his novel Robinson Crusoe, although he also wrote hundreds of other works. He published Robinson Crusoe in 1719 at the age of 59. Today, it remains one of the most famous tales of survival ever told. Countless readers have been encouraged by Robinson Crusoe’s qualities, which go beyond his survival on a desert island. Such qualities can help us cope in a crisis, no matter what or where it is.
