There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every
voyage and took their wages.
On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very
cold, so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give
him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages."
The sailors had heard about the captain's cheating, so they didn't trust him. But then one of them, who
thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though
it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about
half a mile away.
"You are cheating," the captain said to the sailor. "The fire's warming you."
"But it's half a mile away!" said the sailor.
"A fire's fire," answered the captain. "I have won."
The sailor came out of the water, and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have
won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken."
"I can," answered the captain.
"If you cook this chicken," said the sailor, "I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but
if you can't, you will give me your ship."
The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, "Where's the fire?"
"There it is," answered the sailor. "On the shore."
"But it's half a mile away," said the captain angrily.
" 'A fire's fire,' you said," answered the sailor. "If it is enough to warm me in the water, it is enough
to cook your chicken."

船的运动分解如图：将小船的速度v分解为沿绳子方向的v1和垂直于绳子方向的v2，则：v1=vcosθ；当小船靠近岸时，θ变大，所以cosθ逐渐减小；即：在岸边拉绳的速度逐渐减小．故C正确，A、B、D错误．故选C．
