Far out in the sea lived three Sirens，the three sisters of magic song.Half human and half bird，the Siren sisters sat in a field of flowers， 36 in voices that excited the hearts of men.The attractive songs were so2 that ships were attracted to the3 and struck to pieces on the rocks.No sailor nor ship had ever been known to4 the island of the Sirens without being attracted to5 .
Acting on the advice of Circe, Odysseus made careful6 against the Sirens.Before their ships came to where they could7 the song, Odysseus had himself8 the mast (桅桿), stuffed (堵住) the9 of his men with wax (蠟) and ordered them to10 his orders and gestures when they were passing the11 island.
Soon they came in sight of the12 island, and the attractive song reached the ears of13. It moved him so much that he struggled in despair to14 himself and shouted for his men to15 the rich and flowery grass land of the singing sisters. But16 paid any attention to him. The sailors kept straight on until they were17 out of hearing.18 his friends freed him and took the wax out of their ears. For19 the Sirens had sung with no20 . The eldest of the sisters, Partherope, loved Odysseus so much that she threw herself into the sea after his ships had passed.

Somali pirates(海盜) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly l，200 Miles off the Somali coast，the farthest-off-shore attack to date，an officer said Tuesday.

Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡邏)by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force，said a spokesman．

The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”．

“Once they start attacking that far out，you’re not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia,” said an officer，Roger Middleton．“Once you’re that far out，it's just the Indian Ocean，and it means you’re looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia，from Asia to South Africa.”

  "This is the farthest robbing to date．They are now operating near the Maldives and India,”said another officer．

  The three ships--the MV Prantalay l l，12，and l 4—had 77 members on board in total．All of them are Thai, the spokesman said．Before the Sunday robbing，pirates held l l ships and 228 sailors．

Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes。f catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships，the success rate(率)has gone down，though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.

1.The pirate attack reported in the text happened____________．

A．far out in the Indian Ocean

 B．in the normal patrol area

C．near the Somali, coast

D．in the south of Africa

2．According to the text, which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems?

A．More goods on board are lost.

B．Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now.

C．The number of attacks has stayed the same these years.

D．Pirate attacks are as serious as before along the Somali coast.

3．Which is true about the warship patrols according to the text?

A．The patrols are of little effect.

B．The patrols are more difficult.

C．More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia.

D．The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas.

4．How many sailors were held by the pirates up to the time of the report?

A．228.             B．77.              C．383.             D．305.
