    听录音，然后回答以下问题。
    What happened to the man in the boat?
 
    The Wayle is a small river that cuts across the park near my

home. I like sitting by the Wayle on fine afternoons. It was warm

last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual. Some

children were playing games on the bank and there were some people

rowing on the river. Suddenly, one of the children kicked a ball

very hard and it went towards a passing boat. Some people on the

bank called out to the man in the boat, but he did not hear them.

The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell into the water. I

turned to look at the children, but there weren't any in sight:

they had all run away! The man laughed when he realized what had

happened. He called out to the children and threw the ball back to

the bank.

参考译文

    威尔河是横穿过我家附近公园的一条小河。我喜欢在天气晴朗的下午到

河边坐坐。上星期日天气很暖和。于是我和往常一样，又去河边坐着。河岸

上有些孩子正在玩耍，河面上有些人正在划船。突然，一个孩子狠狠地踢了

一脚球，球便向着一只划过来的小船飞去。岸上的一些人对着小船上的人高

喊，但他没有听见。球重重地打在他身上，使他差点儿落入水中。我转过头

去看那些孩子，但一个也不见，全都跑了！当那个人明白了发生的事情时，

笑了起来。他大声叫着那些孩子，把球扔回到岸上。
