Six men have been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours. If they are not brought to the surface soon they may lose their lives. However, rescue operations are proving difficult. If explosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof of the mine to collapse. Rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine. They intend to bring the men up in a special capsule. If there had not been a hard layer of rock beneath the soil, they would have completed the job in a few hours. As it is, they have been drilling for sixteen hours and they still have a long way to go. Meanwhile, a microphone, which was lowered into the mine two hours ago, has enabled the men to keep in touch with their closest relatives. Though they are running out of food and drink, the men are cheerful and confident that they will get out soon. They have been told that rescue operations are progressing smoothly. If they knew how difficult it was to drill through the hard rock, they would lose heart.

六名男子被困矿井已经十七个小时。再不尽快救上地面，他们可能会丧命。 然而，救援十分困难。如果用炸药，震动会让井顶塌下来。 因此，救援人员正从矿井北侧钻孔，准备使用一种特制救生舱把人带上来。 要不是土层下面有一层坚硬的岩石，几个小时就能完工。可现在已经钻了十六个小时，离完工还差得很远。 与此同时，两小时前放进井下的一只麦克风，让受困者能和最亲近的家人保持联系。虽然食物和饮水快用完了，他们仍很乐观，相信很快就能出去。 有人告诉他们，救援进展顺利。他们要是知道钻穿那层硬岩石有多难，恐怕就会灰心了。
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《被困在矿井里》：六人被困，情况紧急 → 爆破会引发坍塌 → 改用钻孔和救生舱 → 硬岩层拖慢进展 → 亲人联系帮助保持信心 → 他们不知道全部难处。再借一个结构讲自己的事：先写现实结果，再换一个过去条件，推想结果会怎样改变。
