On bard the Central America, a ship on her way from Havana to New York, were on fewer than 491 passengers. Most of them were miners(矿工)returning with their gold to their homeland. At the start of the voyage, the sky had been cloudless and the wind fair. Three days later, however, the ship was rolling in a storm. Soon water poured in the engine-room and put out the fires. This left the ship helpless, with her engines stopped. In spite of all efforts, the depth of the water down below slowly increased. It became clear to all that nothing could save the ship, and that she would soon go to the sea bottom. Just at that moment, a strange sight was seen on bard. Some of the miners collected their gold and stored it in their belts. They hoped to take it with them wherever they were going. But others knew that the ship would sink and didn’t want to weigh themselves down with the heavy metal. So they threw it not the floor. Unusual courage was shown by nearly all on bard. The captain moved about the ship encouraging all. He sometimes gave orders in attempts to save his ship, and sometimes kept silent, always determined. But all his efforts failed. Fortunately, when all hope had gone, anther ship, the Marie f Boston, appeared on the scene.

Scientific and learned English is not merely international in using international words. English is frequently used nationally for 1.__________ these purposes, as was pointed out in the previous chapter. A scholar inDenmarkorPolandor even a vast country asRussia 2.__________ will today often write or at any rate publish in English, because his work will thereby reach for a wider public. This does not 3.__________ mean that such a scholar has a native-like knowledge of English.

The scholar himself may be very poorly equipped to speak English or even to write it, esp. on any subject 5.__________ than his own field of interest.
