  British male drivers waste nearly six million hours a year lost on the road because they are not ready to ask for directions.

  Men who are lost wait an average of 20 minutes before giving up and asking for directions, while women only wait 10 minutes before seeking help, according to a study from Royal Automobile Club Direct Insurance.

  Men even stand a “nogging(唠叨)period” of around 10 minutes from their partner before throwing in the towel and stopping to ask the way, the poll(民意测试)showed.

  Based on responses from 2000 adults, the survey also showed:

  Some 64 percent of couples admitted to having arguments over getting lost on the road.

  Only 27 percent of couples plan their journeys before getting off.

  Just 36 percent of couples rely on landmarks and road signs of find their destination.

  One in four couples still write down basic directions on a bit of scrap paper.

  RAC Direct Insurance product manager Craig Martin said awareness of the problem could improve driving standards.

  “The anxiety, increased stress level and road rage that can be caused by getting lost are unnecessary distractions on today’s busy roads when motorists need to be alert and able to concentrate,” Martin said.

  “These problems can easily be avoided if motorists just take a bit more time to plan their journeys,” he added.

  Martin said new equipment is being fixed in cars.Such as satellite navigation systems is now being used by about one in five drivers.

    If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival (生存). Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but actually eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction to fear.

    Find a hiding place.

    Unnecessary labor will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys — cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.

    Signal rescuers for help.

    The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible — it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket (a special blanket for traveling), build three smoky fires and put your blanket — gold side facing out — on the ground.

    Do not walk away.

    It will make finding you more difficult, as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it.

    If you get frostbite (冻伤), do not rewarm the affected area until you’re out of danger.

    You can walk on frostbitten feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.

There is a problem each of us will face: Apologizing is difficult. We are trapped in what we think of ourselves by holding onto our pride. We can be selfish and not willing to admit our most obvious mistakes. Pride eats away at us as we argue or ignore the mistake. Guilt traps us in its cage of lies and pride as we defend our self-centered minds.

It has happened to me. I have had too much pride and selfishness to apologize to a loved one I had hurt. When I did want to apologize, I couldn’t bring myself to face the other person. This is the pride I’m talking about. Maybe apologies come difficult for men because they’re expected to be dominant(占优势的). It’s like the joke that a man never asks for directions when lost. Ladies are more emotionally open than men and are willing to express their emotion. Still, both genders wonder how to apologize correctly.

How does not apologizing affect other people? They feel hurt and believe that you are not willing to communicate your mistake. They lose trust in you as you hide behind your mistake and avoid reality. They become angry with you, wondering why you will not tell them the truth. They may begin to counter your lack of apologies by not apologizing themselves and then the relationship goes downhill as the two of you get caught in a power struggle.

You need to communicate your mistakes. A mistake you made is like a scratch(划痕) and by not apologizing you are making the scratch a deeper wound and rubbing salt into it. You need to stop hurting the other person and yourself by learning to apologize. There is real power in apologizing and emotional healing.

People find it hard to apologize for their mistakes due to ________.

A. emotional healing                     B. their pride

C. making arguments                     D. being trapped in lies

Why are men more unwilling to make apologies?

   A. They don’t intend to hurt other people.

   B. They are too shy.

   C. They don’t want to be considered as weak.

   D. They think it is not necessary to apologize.

The underlined word “counter” probably means _________.

   A. object to        B. focus on      C. depend on    D. benefit from

What bad effect does it have if you refuse to apologize for your mistakes?

   A. You won’t be focused on by other people.

   B. All people won’t believe in you in turn.

   C. You won’t be forgiven even if you tell the truth.

   D. The friendship will be hurt and trust will be lost.
