First listen and then answer the question.
聽(tīng)錄音,然后回答以下問(wèn)題。
Why was the girl in hospital?
Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her. One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea. Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water. During that time she covered a distance of eight miles. Early next morning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs. On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen. That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.

沖出黑暗
幾乎過(guò)了一個(gè)星期,那姑娘才能講述自己的遭遇。一天下午,她乘小船從海岸出發(fā),遇上了風(fēng)暴。天將黑時(shí),小船撞在了一塊礁石上,姑娘跳進(jìn)了海里。她在海里游了整整一夜才游到岸邊。在那段時(shí)間里,她游了8英里。第二天凌晨,她看到前方有燈光,知道自己已經(jīng)接近岸邊了,因?yàn)槟菬艄馐窃诟吒叩那捅谏稀5竭_(dá)岸邊后,姑娘朝著她看到的燈光方向掙扎著往峭壁上爬去。她所記得的就是這些。第二天她醒來(lái)時(shí),發(fā)現(xiàn)自己躺在醫(yī)院里。
