Over the past one hundred and eighty years interested parties had tried to salvage the treasure from the sunken vessel. But their effort went in vain. It is a mystery why and how the treasure disappeared.
The most probable explanation concerns two brothers, John and Rudi, who lived close to the shore. They were hard-pressed fishermen who tried hard to earn a living from the sea. Their boat often leaked and their nets were often torn. After the vessel had sunk, many fishermen went to the scene at low tide in the hope of locating some of the gold bars. They used tongs and nets fastened to long poles but their attempts were made almost impossible by the strong currents. Day by day, the vessel sank deeper and deeper to its ocean grave. As time passed, most fishermen gave up the search.
Only the two brothers persisted and turned treasure hunting into a full-time occupation. Their method was very original. They tied a heavy basket to the end of a rope and took turns to jump into water with the basket.
It would carry them down to the vessel where they would quickly fill it with anything they could grab before going up to the surface.
Each day they would return seemingly empty-handed to their house. After half a year, the Dutch government put a stop to their treasure hunting by declaring that the vessel was a prize of war, and soon after that the two brothers left the island, claiming that they had to visit an uncle who had been ill.
They returned a year later with a big fortune, which they claimed was inherited from their uncle in his will. Form. that moment on, their immense wealth amazed the islanders. They moved into a big mansion and lived in unbelievable luxury. When it was later discovered that there had never been a sick uncle and that the" fortune" must have gathered in other ways, the police began to make enquiries.
The reason why the treasure from the sunken vessel disappeared was ______.

Because the different ways alcohol can affect your behavior. even in very small amounts, the best and safest course is not to drink before you drive. In addition, research has shown that some people may not be able to control their drinking once they begin. If, however, you are of legal age ,want to drink ,and can control your drinking, here is something to consider.
Alcohol is net digested. It passes through your stomach and small intestines (the tubes in your body through which food passes when it has left your stomach) directly into the blood stream and is carried to all parts of your body. Reaching your brain in small amounts, it promotes relaxation.
In large amounts, it dulls the area of your brain that controls judgment and self-control. Losing these qualities, you may feel stimulated, lively, a bit unsteady or foolish.
Drinking may increase confidence, but not performance. Alcohol can seldom make you do anything better, but it may make you care less about your mistakes. After two or four drinks in a row, alcohol begins to weaken your reaction, coordination and balance. Your vision and ability to judge distance are affected, making it more difficult to react to dangers ahead or on either side.
Emotions 'affect your drinking style, and drinking, in turn, affects your emotions. When you are at ease, you may stop after the relaxing effect of one or two drinks. If you are angry, tense or under pressure, you may want to keep drinking to relieve these emotional stresses.
In heavier doses, alcohol can be a mood changing drug, producing sudden shifts in feeling all the way from delight to anger. Studies have proven conclusively that a combination of alcohol and anger is responsible for much of the widely careless driving that causes fatal highway crashes. Even though most alcohol involved crashes are single vehicle crashes, often other people are seriously injured or killed by drunk drivers. One of the best defenses against drunk drivers is the proper wearing of a seat belt, which is now required by law in New Jersey.
According to the passage, drinking ______.
