ATo avoid becoming the lead story on the evening news, be prepared. Before you head out on a hike, check the weather, take plenty of water, and make sure someone knows where you‟ll be and when you‟ll be back. Bring clothes to keep you warm when wet. Avoid cotton, which is easy to take in moisture(潮气).“To avoid getting lost, check often to make sure you‟re still on the trail(路线),” says John Dill, a search-and-rescue worker at Yosemite National Park in California. “The minute you think you might not be on the trail, stop.” If you‟re not alone, focusing on the needs of others can help you get rid of your own fears. Other keys to survival: staying observant and remembering to rest.The surest way to get out alive is to take basic precautions(预防措施), such as taking a set of survival equipment. It includes waterproof matches for starting a fire, a folding knife for cutting branches, and a plastic tarp(防水布) for making shelter.Generally, people who try to find their own way out get along worse than those who stay, says Richard N. Bradley, MD, of the American Red Cross. Find shelter before dark, and try to keep dry. Stay visible so that anyone searching can see you. In a wide-open area, make a signal with colorful tools, make a big X out of rocks, or dig a long shallow hole.You can go several days without eating, so in most cases, you‟d better not search for food, since there are lots of poisonous plants in the wild, says Dr Bradley. You cannot survive without water, so if you run out of water, it‟s usually better to drink from a stream with suspect water than to go without.1.

Specialists say computers and televisions disturb sleep patterns and cause learning, concentration and growth problems.Dr Alex Bartle, director of the Sleep Well Clinic, said that different sorts of technology were keeping children awake. Computer games and social networking sites such as Bebo and Facebook were worse than TV for exciting young minds because they were more interactive(互动的). They should be switched off at least an hour before bedtime. “To fall asleep, you need to have a certain amount of calmness in the brain,” said Bartle. “being excited doesn‟t help those brainwaves settle.”Professor Philippe Gander, director of Masse y University‟s Sleep / Wake Research Centre, said poor sleephad been linked to learning, behavioral and growth problems.Bartle said parents should make sure that children were well-rested and not kept awake by the technology surrounding them. “They need to encourage kids to get out during the day. Watching TV or playing on computers as soon as they get home isn‟t good from a sleep point of view. Parents need to be strong enough to remove TVs or computers.”In Britain, National Health Service data show almost 3,000 under-11s were referred to specialists for problems such as sleeplessness and sleep-walking(梦游) in 2007, up 26 percent from 2002.While there are no figures in New Zealand, experts have no doubt that the number of children in need of help is on t he increase. “We have the same sorts of technology, the same lifestyles,” said Bartle.The Child Health Research Foundation in New Zealand has funded(资助) studies on sleep problems and is waiting for the results.5.

My husband and I decided to make a sacrifice and exchange city life and move to a seaside village with our children aged 9 and 3 years. We had a beautiful home in the city and plenty of money but little real safety because crime was on the increase every day. We never knew if we would all make it safely home at night. I hoped my children would be brought up in a peaceful and friendly environment.We were very happy in our new town, but life was very difficult economically. Income was based on the tourist seasons and jobs were few. Although many of the long- standing residents(居民) were well off in the town, it was a very competitive environment for newcomers. We had to adapt to the difficult new life over the past four years.Reading the newspapers from the big cities made us better believe that we had made the right choice. But it was not always easy to explain to the children why they could no longer have what they used to have.However, our little daughter proved to me she had the ability to think about problems in a reasonable way. The son of a visiting friend preferred riding in the back of our old little truck to his father‟s big car.Our little daughter called me and said, “Mom, please help me to explain to James that he is wrong. He says that …Today, if you don‟t have money you are nothing.‟ I know that is not true. If you do have money you share it with yourfriends and if you don‟t have money and they do, they share it with you. That is what makes us all rich.” It made me realize that the sacrifice was well worth it.9. Why did the family move away from the city?A. They were tired of the city life.B.
