导读：英语阅读训练题令很多学生头疼，在做这类题时同学们可以使用一些小技巧。如逆向思维法——在两个选项看上去都十分正确无法选择时，试着从选项出发，想象一下如果自己以此选项来写文章会有那些内容，然后把它与文章的内容比较，接近的即为正确选项。以下是一篇故事类话题的英语阅读理解训练题，供学生练习。

　　My father was Chief engineer of a merchant ship, which was sunk in Word War II. The book Night of the U-boats told the story.

　　Memories

　　In September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him sale.

　　Then I remember my mother lying lace down, sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo(鱼雷).

　　I can remember the arrival of the telegram(电报),Which in those days always brought had new. My grandmother opened it. It read, “Safe, Love Ted.”

　　My most vivid memory Is being woken and brought down to sit o my father’s knee, his arm in a bandage.

　　He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.

　　Ten years later I read Night of the U-bouts and was able to complete the story.

　　Torpedo

　　One torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.

　　By the time he got on deck (甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck fast. When he tried to cut it free it swung against the ship, injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.

　　Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.

　　In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean rind a wait for rescue? Lest(以免)we forget, I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.

　　62. telegram定位，找到Memories下面第三段，电报内容：safe，确定A
