What's life like on a deserted island? Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona decided to find out.

The adventurous senator took a vacation from Capitol Hill and went on a four?day Robinson Crusoe style holiday with his two teenage sons to a remote, deserted island in the North Pacific Ocean.

The senator and his sons, 15?year?old Tanner and 13?year?old Dallin, traveled 5,200 miles from Phoenix, Arizona to the island of Biggarenn. They didn't carry any food or water.

The island is part of the Marshall Islands. It offered no basic supplies, so the Flakes had to catch and cook their own food and purify their water. Their diet was made up of coconuts, crabs and fish. They caught the crab and fish themselves and cooked the food over an open fire started with a magnifying glass (放大镜).

The Flakes brought along a lobster trap (龙虾夹) in the hope of having some delicious treats, but lost it within the first few hours after it was attacked by a shark. They also carried two pumps to remove salt from ocean water. It took them hours each night to pump for just a few gallons of fresh water.

One of the most memorable moments of the trip, the father said, was when he and his 15?year?old son were almost caught by sharks after spearing (用叉叉起) a fish in the ocean.

Still, it was quite an enjoyable holiday for them. “For a dad it was a wonderful thing. No video games around, no television, no disturbance, no texting,” Flake recalled.

1.Why did the Flakes go to the island of Biggarenn?

A.To meet Robinson Crusoe.

B.To spear the shark for food.

C.To spend a special vacation.

D.To swim in the North Pacific Ocean.

2.What can we learn from the text?

A.The Flakes could easily find a fire on the island.

B.The Flakes caught lobsters for food on the island.

C.The Flakes found basic things that they needed on the island.

D.The Flakes took much trouble to get drinkable water on the island.

3.According to the text, the Flakes' holiday is ________.

A.adventurous but interesting

B.exciting but painful

C.meaningless but enjoyable

D.boring but memorable

Stop comparing yourself to others. When you compare your life to others’, you are giving up your power. People have success or failures at different points in their lives.

Move your body. ___4.___ I’m sure you’ll feel better--especially if you exercise regularly. Doing exercise will give you a sense of achievement that you can use to deal with other difficulties in your life.

Connection with other people. If you struggle with anxiety, you may not feel like putting yourself into social situations, but isolating(使孤立)yourself socially is the worst thing you can do.
