Question

英语阅读.求答案（二册3）
I was born in the city of York,in England,in the year 1632.My father was a man of some wealth,able to give me a good home and send me to school.It was his wish that I should be a lawyer but my head began to be filled very early with thoughts of travel,and I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea.My father give me strong advice against it,but with little effect.One day,being at Hull,I met a school-fellow who was about to sail for London in his father’s ship,and he invited me to go with him,and without telling my father,I went on board.
On the way to London,a storm arose,the ship was wrecked,and we barely escaped with our lives.I went on foot to London,where I met with the master of a vessel which did business with countries on the coast of Africa.He took a fancy to me,and offered me a chance to go with him on his voyages,which I gladly accepted.
A great storm came up,and the ship was tossed (被颠簸) about for many days,until we did not know where we were.Suddenly we struck a bank of sand,and the sea broke over the ship in such a way that we could not hope to have her hold many moments without breaking into pieces.So we launched (使.下水) a boat.After we had been driven four or five miles,a mountainous wave struck us so hard that it overturned the boat at once.Though I swam well but the waves were so strong that I was dashed (被猛撞) against a rock with such force that it left me senseless.But I recovered a little before the waves returned,and,running forward,got to the mainland safely.
