“We’ve all got money,” one of them said, “but we haven’t got enough workers. It’s very difficult to find people to help us on our plantations (种植园).”
“We need some slaves,” another said. “Some slaves from Africa.”
“We want to send a ship there to bring some back,” said the third. “But one of us must go to choose the slaves. You know Africa, Robinson. You are the best person to go. What do you say ”
They looked at me with worried faces while waiting for my reply.
“I have an easy life here,” I thought. “It isn’t a good idea to leave everything and go to sea again.”
But I went. How stupid I was!
We sailed north along the coast. At Cape Saint Augustino, we changed direction and went east. Soon the land was far behind us and all we could see was water. At first the weather was good — it was sunny and hot. Then one morning it changed suddenly. A strong wind began to blow and the sky filled with big black clouds.
“Oh, no! A storm!” I thought and I went below deck.
The wind got stronger and the sea got rougher. Our brave captain tried to keep the ship on its course, but he couldn’t. The wind blew it across the sea for twelve days.
“We’re all going to die,” I thought.
When the weather started to get better at last, the captain and I tried to find our position on a map.
“The storm took us north,” he said. “I think we must be near here.” He pointed to the mouth of the river Orinoco.
“The ship is full of holes,” he went on. We need to repair them. “We must go back to Brazil.”
“No,” I said. “We aren’t far from the island of Barbados. We must go there. They speak English and we can find people to help us repair the ship.”
So we sailed north-east into the Caribbean Sea.
We were making good progress when there was another storm. Once again the strong wind blew our ship off its course. This time it took us west and away from Barbados. We were going towards unknown lands. The lands of cannibals (食人者)!
“The future doesn’t look good!” I thought unhappily. “Dying in the sea or in a cooking pot!”
The storm continued for several days.
—From Robinson Crusoe

The Earth has just been sent a message from space. People around the world are now trying to find out what the message says. But the message wasn’t from aliens (外星人). Instead, it’s part of a project designed to see how humans might react if they did get a message from aliens.

She worked with a group of scientists at SETI to come up with a secret message. On 24 May, the European Space Agency’s TGO spacecraft beamed the message back to the Earth from Mars. The signal (信号) was picked up by several radio telescopes (射电望远镜) around the world. The information from the message has now been put on the Internet. Anyone can download it und try to find out what it means. A Special website has been set up for people to report their ideas about the message, and talk about any progress they make in trying to translate it.
52. We may find the passage from a magazine about ________.
