If you go into the woods with your friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you do get lost, this is what you should do.

Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends — let them find you. You can help them to find you by staying in one place.

There is another way to help your friends or other people nearby to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help. You will be helped by others.

Keep up the shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gunshots. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.

If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house and cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves and grass. What should you do if you get hungry or need to drink some water? You should have to leave your little branch house to look for a brook. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.

The most important thing to do when you are lost is — stay in one place.

How do you let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun?

A. Stop now and then.          B. Go on shouting or whistling.

C. Shout over and over at the top of voice D. Shout or whistle three times once a while.

If nobody answers you after your signal, what should you do then?

A. Give two gunshots.          B. Shout louder.

C. Stop shouting.          D. Make a house.

If you feel thirsty when you are lost in the forest, what should you do?

A. Go and find a brook.

B. Light a fire and make yourself some tea.

C. Go to find a brook and leave marks behind you.

D. Find something to hold the water.

C. What To Do If You Get Lost In A Forest

D. The Most Important Thing To Do Is To Stay In One Place

I stood there, watching my  54  boy working so hard to save another life. As my tears began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God himself was weeping with pride. The rain that day 55 our farm.

To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone’s life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot(情节) and the greatest interests be so exciting or dramatic? I’m not sure about it.
Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more carefully, we discover them in our everyday life too—in the rhythm(节拍) of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, express himself from his heart, feel the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”

The Peppered Moth, a kind of insect(昆虫), is found in England. It is light brown in colour and likes to settle(栖息) on trees which are also light brown. This makes the moth difficult to be seen and birds are less likely to notice and eat it.
But with the development of industry(工业) , smoke from factories began to reach the trees where the moth settled. It made the trees blacker. Then something very strange took place: in industrial areas, the Peppered Moth began to change colour. It became darker as well. Though the change took several years, some scientists soon notice that newly-born moths were a little darker than usual.
A scientist with the name Kettlewell decided to make a careful study of this phenomenon(现象). He marked some of the light moths and some of the darker ones, and set them free in the woods near Bermingham, an industrial city. Later, he recaptured(重新捕获) as many as the marked moths as possible. The results were as follows.

 
light moths
darker moths
Moths set free
201
601
moths recaptured
34(16%)
206(34%)
Kettlewell's research (研究) was done in the early 1950s. Soon afterwards Britain introduced new laws to reduce smoke and factory pollution.

A.many more of the light moths were killed or eaten
B.more than one-fifth of the light moths was not killed
C.three times as many dark moths were kept safe as light ones
D.more dark moths were killed in industrial areas
【小题3】As the air became cleaner,        .
A.the number of the light moths became larger
B.the total number of the light moths remained unchanged
C.there were more of the darker moths and fewer of the light ones
D.the darker moths changed into the light ones suddenly
