A message in a bottle sent out to sea by a New Hampshire man more than five decades ago was found 1,500 miles away and has been returned to his daughter.

The long-lost message was discovered by Clint Buffington of Utah while he was vacationing.

Buffington says he found a soda bottle half buried in the sand that "looked like it had been there since the beginning of time."

The note inside the bottle said," Return to 419 Ocean Street and receive a reward of $ 150 from Richard and Tina Pierce, owners of the Beachcomber Motel."

The motel was owned by the parents of Paula Pierce in 1960.

Her father had written the note as a joke and had thrown it into the Atlantic Ocean.

Buffington flew to New Hampshire to deliver the message to Paula Pierce.

She held up to her father’s promise, giving Buffington that reward.

But the biggest reward is the message in a bottle finding its way back home.

Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.

Question 1: What is the news report mainly about?

Question 2: Why did Paula Pierce give Clint Buffington the reward?

三、答案：

1. A) The return of a bottled message to its owner's daughter.
2. B) She wanted to honor her father's promise.

【翻译】

五十多年前，被新罕布什尔州人发送到海边的瓶子里的消息被发现在1500英里以外的地方，并已归还给他的女儿。

长期失去的信息是在犹他州克林特布菲顿度假时发现的。

Buffington表示，他发现一只苏打瓶被埋在沙子里，看起来就像是从一开始就在那里一样。

瓶子里的纸条写着,“回到419 Ocean Street，并获得理查德和蒂娜皮尔斯，这家海滩精品店汽车旅馆的业主的150美元奖励。”

汽车旅馆在1960年由保拉皮尔斯的父母拥有。

她的父亲开玩笑似的写下这个消息，并把它扔进了大西洋。
