READING
Read the article about survival. Five sentences have been removed. Which sentence A-F
fits each gap (1-5)? There is one extra sentence you do not need to use.
Survival stories
We’ve all heard amazing stories in which people struggle heroically to survive against all the
odds. [----1----] The truth, though, is that not all survivors are quite so heroic. As these two
stories show, the will to survive isn’t always so strong.
As an experienced sailor, Lynn Walker knows nothing is ever certain on the high seas.
However, when she took on the job of sailing a luxury yacht from Tahiti to San Diego, she
must have believed that it would be one of the less complicated trips she had done. Little did
she know that after a week of calm sailing the weather would change dramatically, bringing a
tropical depression from Central America to blast the yacht with 20-metre waves. Lynn found
herself battling against Hurricane Raymond. [----2----]
Lynn was unconscious for a long time. When she did finally come round, she realized that
the boat had miraculously righted itself, and that she had been saved by the lifeline
connecting her to the boat. [---3----] Tragically, she could see Simon, her boyfriend, lying
dead in the water.
There was plenty of food on the boat, and the weather was calm again, but Lynn could only
feel an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. She found that she couldn’t eat, and simply
sat on the soaking wet deck. It was as if she had given up, and was waiting to die. Then, all
of a sudden, a voice in her head told her to survive. She managed to put up a makeshift sail,
and consulting the surviving charts on the boat, somehow sailed to Hawaii.
Another story is set in the thrilling yet terrifying Marathon des Sables, arguably the world’s
toughest foot race. Competitors attempt a six-day 250-km run across the Sahara desert in
temperatures of over 45 degrees. Just imagine getting lost. That, however, is exactly what
happened to an Italian policeman called Marco Contadino, a regular competitor, when he
took part in the race in 1996. [-----4-----] Marco should have stopped and waited for the storm
to calm down, but he kept on, desperate to stay in seventh place in the race, only to find that
when the wind dropped he could no longer see the course. He reached for his water bottle
and found there were only a few drops left in the bottom of it.
For three whole days Marco tried to find his way back to the course, with barely any water
and no idea what direction he was heading in. He started to visualize the agonising death he
would soon have to face. A friend had once told him that dying of thirst was the worst of all
possible deaths. Fearing such a long and painful death, he decided to cut his wrists with a
knife. But, short of water, his blood was thick and would not flow.. [---5----] Five more days
passed until, miraculously, a group of Tuareg nomads found him and took him to a village.
Marco discovered he was in Algeria, 130 miles away from the race course.
A She had tied it to herself moments before the boat had first gone under the waves.
