The whole passage can be roughly di=
into 3 parts:
is made up of 3 paragraphs, from Paragraph 1 to Paragraph 3. Paragraph 1 st=
with one shocking event of a mysterious disappearance of planes. Specific
details have been included: the time, date of the event, 5 Navy aircraft, u=
perfect flying weather, only two hours’ flying, a message for help, a
rescue plane searching for the missing ones which disappeared without any t=
too. Then Paragraph 2 is a general introduction about the area, which tells
what and where the Bermuda Triangle is: the Graveyard of the Atlantic, a
mysterious area of the Atlantic Ocean.
Paragraph 3 is how the public responds to the Bermuda Triangle: a lot of
concern and interest but no answers produced.
consists of 5 paragraphs, from Paragraph 4 to Paragraph 8. Paragraphs 4 and=
offer us some more recorded mysterious disappearances in the triangle. This=
to confirm that the disappearance is an often-occurring event. Specific det=
have also been included to the point. From specific details, Paragraphs 6 t=
are about the general responses to the mysteries. Paragraph 6 is about what=
U.S. Navy thinks. It does not recognize the triangle as a danger zone and
attributes the majority of disappearances to the swift Gulf Stream current,=
unexplored submerged valleys of the Atlantic,
the often violent weather or unusual magnetic phenomenon. Paragraph 7
contradicts with the Navy’s thoughts. Government officials argue that=
reasonable explanation to date has been made for the vanishings. As a resul=
that, some people resort to more fantastic explanations. Paragraph 8 is abo=

a giant solar crystal, the power generator for the legendary lost island
Atlantis, sucks passing ships and planes into the ocean.
