It can be definitely terrifying to fall through ice on a frozen lake. 1.In fact, there is more time to help you survive than you think.

As you first hit the freezing water, you will almost breathe quickly at once. Remember to get control of your breathing and not to move around. 2.This means that it takes about one minute to gain control of your breathing, ten minutes to move before you get too cold. The final one is to remind you that it will take one hour before you become unconscious.

Take that first minute and fully focus on your breathing. Slow it down, and then look around to see if you can locate the thickest area of ice. When you locate the ice, stretch your arms over the surface, and then begin to flutter-kick(上下打水)until your body becomes horizontal with the surface. 3..

It is possible that you can live for several hours after passing out. This, however, does require some planning. You only have about 10 minutes before your muscles and nerves become too cold to work. Besides, what if you feel too weak to go on and you cannot get out?4.The point is to encourage your coat to freeze to the ice, so that if you lose consciousness, you will keep your head out of ice.

5..

A. Remember that you should always stay off ice that’s only 3 inches.

B. Place your arms over the surface of the ice and remain still.

A tent can be one of the more costly items on your camping equipment shopping list. It is definitely something that you need to consider carefully.

By seeing a tent for real you will be able to get a better impression of its size and construction in the traditional shop. However，the downside is that，unless you are experienced，you may miss out some of the details that the manufacturer’s promotional material makes clear. Cheap tents often look similar to the quality models they are mimicking(模仿)，but you can be sure that they use inferior(次的) materials and probably have lower design standards.

Shop staff are often campers themselves. That means they usually can give lots of advice. If a shop assistant agrees with your own conclusions，that will be great；if they try to change your decision with a clear and reasonable argument，then that will be worth considering；if they just try to bamboozle(欺骗)，or even bully，you then walk away.

The Internet is a wonderful tool，and so long as you know how to make the most of search engines and put in a little effort，you really have the perfect answer waiting to be found. That answer will be different for every camper as each of us has different needs. Don’t be surprised to see your favorite criticized somewhere，but if you see too much criticism，then you had better start thinking again. No problem. You won’t have spent anything yet，so think of it positively as a large expense saved.

Probably the best approach，if you have the time，is to research tents online and make a short list. Then try to inspect those tents at nearby shops. Then you can make a final decision on where to buy your chosen model based purely on total cost.

Meet the “Tutor Kings and Queens”

“If you want to be a top tutor, it definitely helps if you are young and attractive. Students look at your appearance，” said Kelly Mok, 26, a “tutor queen” at King's Glory, one of Hong Kong's largest tutorial establishments.

Richard Eng from Beacon College, a former secondary school teacher, is often credited with being the first of Hong Kong's “star tutors”. “In school all the teachers look the same, there's no excitement，” he said.

The celebrity tutor phenomenon is a result of the huge growth in out­of­school tutoring in Asia. It is fuelled by highly pressured examination systems and ambitious parents wanting their children to secure places at top universities and high­status secondary schools.

In societies where success is_equated_with good exam results, parental anxiety converts into a “steady stream of revenue(收入)” for tutoring establishments, according to a study by the Asian Development Bank (ADB)．

The tutoring industry, or “shadow education” as the ADB calls it, has become very widespread in Asia, fed by the growth in universities and the rising proportion of school leavers aiming for university. Hong Kong University's professor Mark Bray, one of the authors of the ADB study, said a staggering 72% of final­year school students in Hong Kong now go to private tutors.

It's not just Hong Kong. Tutoring has “spread and intensified(强化) in Asia and become more commercialized，” said Professor Bray. In South Korea, 90% of primary school children attend such classes. In China, New Oriental Education and Technology has grown to become one of the largest tutoring schools in Asia with around 2.4 million students this year. In South Korea, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India, tutorial schools use star tutors to attract even more students.

1.According to Kelly Mok, tutors ________.

A．have a lot in common with school teachers

B．benefit much from their appearances

C．become more and more popular in the world

D．have much more pressure than in the past

2.Who is probably a “tutor king” in Hong Kong?

A．Kelly Mok.　     B．Richard Eng.

C．Mark Bray.　     D．Not mentioned.

3.What Professor Bray says in this passage means that ________.

A．the number of school leavers is increasing

B．tutoring may improve achievement for individual students

C．star tutors have attracted 2.4 million students

D．more and more students in Asia go to private tutors

4.The underlined part in Paragraph 4 is similar in meaning to ________.

A．is equal to　     B．leads to

C．results in　     D．is different from

5.Where is this passage probably taken from?

A．An English newspaper.　     B．A travel guide.

You don’t have to ask Barack Obama what it is like to be a president-elect．Chances are you can be one, too, and it won’t take more than 30 years’ efforts to achieve that．

A new computer game, Commander in Chief, offers the chance to step into the president’s shoes and see whether you can do a better job running the country than he can．

The video game will be available on January 20, the day Obama is sworn in （宣誓就职） as president．

“You can put your own political theories into action and see the domestic（国内的）and international effect,” said the lead designer Louis-Marie Rocques．

Internal decisions involve managing budgets, security, education, health care and discussion over many proposed laws．You also have to respond to critics．Every decision has a consequence, which changes the political environment．For example, raising taxes will raise criticisms and protests while lowering taxes means you will have less money to play with．

What about external decisions? Well, you have to deal with military issues, global economics, trade agreements, and spending time lobbying（游说）other presidents．You can determine the course of world events by invading（侵略）a neutral country, or toppling（推翻）an unfriendly country but then you must face the economic, political, and military consequences．

Don’t want to be president of the US? The game also lets you become virtual（虚拟的）leader of other countries including France, Germany, Spain and Russia．
