Although they made it in Europe and Asia, Westlife never managed to break into the US market, achieving only one hit single in 2000: Swear It Again.

8 . 听下面一段独白，完成填空。

I’d like to tell you about some of the ships I’ve discovered.Well, there’s nothing quite like finding the first old ship — it is 300 years old. It was just lying at the bottom of the sea, so it wasn’t difficult to find. Most are covered in sand and rocks — but this one wasn’t. I’m actually a teacher, not a full-time diver — I dive in my free time but I often get to them before the     1     divers, because I have good up-to-date     2    . Another thing that helps is talking to fishermen. I’ve even written a book about some of their experiences.

At the moment, I’m looking for the gold from a ship called The Seabird. I was astonished when I first saw it. It was a well-built ship and it was coming from Australia on a winter night in 1859. Everything was going fine until the ship reached the English coast, when it     3     into some rocks in a very strong storm and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Well, as diving is a dangerous hobby, it’s not a good idea to teach yourself. I’d     4     anyone interested to do what I did. There are some excellent diving clubs like the one I joined, which run courses for     5    . It is best to do one of these ahead of time before you go on a diving holiday.
