题目内容:
Three Japanese tourists taking a holiday in Australia got stuck when their GPS to1d them they could drive from the mainland to an island,failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between.
As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay to nearby North Stradbroke Island,they started to notice the firm surface they were driving on giving way to the well-known bay mud.However,being confident that their GPS would direct them to a road soon,they decided to drive on,managing to travel around 500 metres before their car was up to its tires in mud.To make matters worse,the tide(潮汐)started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle.Just four hours later the car was trapped m two metres of water —to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries.
Yuzu Noda,21,said she was listening to the GPS and“it told us we could drive down there.It kept saying it would navigate(导航)US to a road.But we got stuck…there's lots of mud”.She and her travel companions Tomonari Saeki,22,and Keita Osada,21,instead had to give up their plans for a day trip to the island and headed back to the Gold Coast of a lift from the RACQ tow truck(吊车)driver who was called to the trapped car. No such luck for the hired car,though—after assessing the situation,no attempt was made to recover it.The students from Tokyo,who are due to return home tomorrow,said the experience would not put them off returning to Australia for another visit. Mr·Tomonari said,“It has rained every day on our six day holiday.Hopefully next time we come back it will be sunny.”
The car was covered by insurance,but the tourists will have to pay up to about $1500 in extra charges.
