Scott Thompson, a boater from Southern California, was out on his boat. After realizing the weather wasn't favorable, he turned the boat back towards land.

Soon after, something2 happened. The boat was rocked by the wavy water and Scott got3 out of the boat. The engines continued to run, moving the boat farther and farther away from him, which made it4 to swim back to it. He watched his boat5 in the middle of the icy Santa Barbara Channel.

Lost at sea, with no land in6, Thompson was sure these were his7 moments on earth. However, thoughts of his family helped him find the8 to survive. "Just keep9, and you will get home to your family," Thompson kept telling himself. "Just imagining my girls and my son growing up without me, and my wife not having a husband to support her, I couldn't10."

All of a sudden, he heard a big splash (拍水声). It was a medium-sized harbor seal that Thompson described as "an angel" that came to help him. "The seal would come up and11 me, like a dog comes up and pushes your leg." Thompson said. It was a sense of12, Thompson recalled, knowing that he wasn't alone on this heroic journey.

Being pushed along by the seal, Thompson felt13 to swim to the nearest oil platform, which was far but closer than land. With the14 of the seal, he swam through the dark, freezing water for five hours, until he managed to reach an oil platform. People aboard the oil platform offered aid. They rushed him to a hospital where Thompson was treated and recovered a few days later.

While the thought of his15 motivated him to keep going, Thompson said that he would not have endured through the pain if it hadn't been for the seal swimming alongside him.

One of the easiest things you can do to learn English faster is to read as much as you can. This will make your vocabulary better and it will also help you learn grammar and slang(俚语).

◎Watch movies.

Watching movies will also help you improve your English, by helping you to hear what it sounds like and also helping you to learn new words. Once you have a basic vocabulary，try to keep the subtitles(字幕)off and focus on listening for the words you do know and guessing the words you don't know from what is happening on the screen.

◎Find an online pen-pal.

Pen-pals are people trying to learn your language that you write letters (or emails) to and they write back. You write half of your letter in your native language so that they can practise and half in English so that you can practise.

◎Singsongs.

Learning and singing songs is another good way to make your English better. It will also help increase your vocabulary. Find a song you like, learn it, and learn what the lyrics(歌词)mean.

The recent discovery is the most important in many years. Experts unearthed a grand house, where the three letters- "ARV" were carved on the walls. This suggested that the home belonged to Aulus Rustius Verus, a wealthy Pompeii politician. The team found a large dining hall that was nearly undestroyed. It is about 50 feet long and 20 feet wide and has a mosaic floor made up of more than a million white tiles (瓷砖). Its walls were painted black and decorated with frescoes, artwork made using an old technique of painting with watercolors on wet plaster (灰泥). The frescoes describe characters from Greek mythology and tell stories of heroism and fate. The hall would have been an elegant setting for entertaining guests, the archaeologists said. As people dined in the room, flickering candlelight would have made the figures seem to move.

"Pompeii is truly a treasure chest," Italy's culture minister, Gennaro Sangiuliano, said of the recent discovery. "Every time we dig, we find something beautiful and significant."

1. Use sunscreen (防晒霜) properly

Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher 20-30 minutes before going outside. Don't forget to reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Studies show that most people apply too little sunscreen, so using enough (about 1 teaspoon for the face) is key.

2. Wear the right clothes

Wear long sleeves, hats, and UV-protective sunglasses. Dark-colored clothes with tight weaves block more UV rays than light ones. A good pair of sunglasses not only protects your eyes but also prevents fine lines around the eyes caused by squinting (眯眼).

3. Seek shade during peak hours

The sun is strongest from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Use natural shade from trees or create your own shade with umbrellas or tents.

4. Drink enough water

Drinking plenty of water is important for skin health and overall comfort. When you sweat, your body loses water and salt, so drink lots of water even if you're not thirsty. You can also enjoy drinks like tea or fruit juice.

By following these steps, you'll reduce the risk of skin damage. Then you can enjoy being outside without worry. Remember: healthy skin means feeling good!
