What will you do if you are in trouble on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to attract the attention of a passing plane.

Body language

Pilots(飞行员) from different countries understand body languages if they have the correct training. When you put your arms up and down in a straight line, it means, “yes”. When you point down and swing (摇摆) your arm from side to side, it means “no”. If you want the pilot to know that it’s safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend(弯下) your knees. If you want to say that it’s not safe to land, put your arms up in the air and move them to one side.

Start a fire

The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to attract attention. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they lose control. Never light a tire unless you’re sure that it can’t spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.

Ground- to- air marks

It’s a good idea lo make some marks, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the marks. If you can’t find any wood, use earth. Some useful marks are:

F :“I need food and water”

II:“I need medicine.”

I:“I am badly hurt.”

X:“I can’t move from here”

So next time, if you meet this problem and can’t get away from the island, try the advice above.

1.Which of the following means “It’s not safe to land”?

2.If you are hungry and thirsty, you should draw_________ on the ground.

A. F　　 B. II　　 C. I　　 D. X

3.From the passage, we can learn that ___________.

A. Putting up and down your arms in a straight line means “No”

B. You should start a fire when you are sure it will spread

C. It’s a good idea to use flowers and grass to make marks on the ground

D. Your body language, smoke and ground marks are helpful to save you out

4.The passage is mainly about _______.

A. ways of living on a lonely island

B. ways of asking for help on a lonely island

C. body languages on an island

D. the importance of making marks on an island

How much sleep is enough?

To stay in good health, some expert in the US say, adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep. Teenager need nine to ten hours. And pre-school children need more than 10 hours of sleep a night.

Experts say the quality(质量) of our sleep becomes poor as we grow older. This happens because the brain unit that controls sleep begins to weaken slowly as we age.

Experts say the change starts in our 30s. By the time we reach our 50s, a person may have lost 50 percent of their ability to have a restful sleep.

These people have trouble failing and staying asleep through the night. From middle age on, these problems only get worse, and they can have a bad effect on their health.

Signs that show you may not be getting enough sleep:

You’re always hungry or you’ve got unwanted weight. If you are in short of sleep, certain chemicals in your body will not work well and tell your brain in time that you have eaten enough.

You have trouble making decisions. Not having enough sleep may make your brain work slower in problem solving.

You have trouble remembering things. Sleep helps prepare the brain for new memories.

Your feeling changes unreasonably. People who don’t sleep well may feel unable to control their feelings.

You are having trouble seeing. If there is a shortage of sleep, you may not be able to see thing as clearly as usual.

How to improve your sleep? Here are a few things people can do to get better sleep.

If you are home alone, and somebody comes to the door, you will probably shout out “I got it” so that it seems like someone else is there with you and you are not alone at home, this way you can be safe. Then how can we stay safe in our daily lives? Here are some tips:

1. It’s a good idea to give your apartment a safety check—before you even move in. Complete this safety check list. Can you see who’s at the door without opening it? Are your doors made of metal? Have all your doors been rekeyed since you moved in?

2.Become BFFs (best friends forever) with your neighbors. If you’re shy, then you’d probably prefer anything else to chatting with neighbors, But make an effort to be friendly, if only for safety’s sake (面子) . In one way or another, your neighbors may be your best wealth in times of trouble and they’ll be more willing to lend a hand to a friend than they are to help out a stranger.

3.Always throw parties. Burglars (窃贼) are less likely to target busy homes. So yes, this can be your excuse to throw a party. Having people over can make your home seem like there are more people living in it. It’ll also show would-be burglars that a lot of friends have got your back.

4.Be smart about spare keys. Burglars know exactly where to check for spare keys. So don’t think you’re being clever by hiding them in the mailbox, or under a carpet. Instead, you’re better off leaving them to a friend or trusted neighbor.

根据短文内容判断句子正误。（正确的写A，错误的写B）

1.By shouting out “I got it” you want to show that you are alone.

2.You needn’t give your apartment a safety check before moving in.

3.You should try your best to be friends with your neighbors.

4.Throwing parties will bring burglars to your home.

5.Don’t hide your spare keys in the mailbox.

Experts in nutrition suggest that we should eat at least five different kinds of vegetables and fruit a day. They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well. They can help reduce the risk of getting ill. There are a lot of vegetables and fruit to choose from and they taste delicious. 1.

It's easy to buy our food from the local supermarket, so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own? Here are several good reasons：

2. You can pick and eat it at once. When you have tried it, you will agree that vegetables and fruit that are eaten straight from the garden taste better than anything you can buy in a supermarket.

You may want to cut down on your “food miles”—the distance that a product has travelled before it reaches your kitchen. Many food packages are flown halfway across the earth. 3.

Homegrown food is likely to be healthier. Food producers often use fertilizers and pesticides which can end up in your food. If you grow your own, things are different. 4. You might also choose to grow some traditional vegetables and fruit. These often have more important things that keep you healthy.

5. And you can grow your own even if you only have a small backyard. Some food can grow well in pots, including tomatoes, potatoes and carrots. You can recycle plastic bottles and cups to grow something. Just make sure there are holes for drainage and a small plate under them to catch drops of water.

A.Best of all, you can grow your own!

B.That's not so good for you, or for the planet.

C.Food that you grow yourself is always fresh.

D.If you have a large garden, growing your own is easy.

E.You can control what goes on and into the food you eat.

British roads are some of the safest in the world. A study in 2018 compared more than 30 countries and found that 3.8 people per 100，000 died in traffic accidents in the UK. 1. So, what did British drivers do to achieve this? What are they doing differently? Here are five top tips for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK.

2. In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries have this. Don't forget that this also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts.

British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody.3.This is called “jumping the queue”. You must wait for your turn; otherwise people may get angry with you.

You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries, it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn't any other traffic around. 4.

If another driver flashes his car's lights at you, he is probably trying to tell you that he will wait for you to go first. British people don't like to use their car horn much and they think people who do so are rude.

5. The police in the UK never take money, and if you try to offer them some, you could end your holiday visiting British prison.

Word Bank:

roundabout 环岛　 flash闪烁　　 horn喇叭　 prison监狱

A.This number was lower than any other country.

B.People in Britain drive on the left side of the road.

C.If you get in an accident, don't try to pay the police.

D.In the UK you could have a lot of trouble if you do this.

E.If you are in a queue of traffic, then don't try to push past the cars in front of yours.
