What do you do if you're 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 draw the attention of a passing plane.
Body signals (信号)
Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training, When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means, "yes". When you point downwards and swing 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 (弯曲) your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.
Smoke signals
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it’s a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of 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 signals
It's a good idea lo build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols (标记). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:
F "I need food and water"
II "I need medicine."
I "I am badly hurt."
X "I am unable lo move from here."
Pilots' replies
If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means: "message received and understood" (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received hut not understood" (At night, the: pilot flashes the plants red lights.)
However, there is no signal which means "message not received. Why not'?

A. Choose the best answer.
If you're planning on buying a small pet for your kids or family or are looking for a pet that is cute, friendly and fun, then you should consider a sugar glider (蜜袋鼯). It lives in Australia, Indonesia, New Guinea and Tasmania.
Sugar gliders are known by this name because they are fond of sweet food. Sugar gliders are also known as “pocket pets” because they're small in size and they like being carried in pockets. That is why many sugar glider owners keep these animals in their pockets to carry them wherever they go.
Sugar gliders are covered with the patagium (翼膜)，which looks like a parachute (降落伞) when they spread out their hands and feet, making them move in the air. Another attractive feature of sugar gliders is that they have big toes (脚趾) on their back which help make them stay on the tree.
It's known that sugar gliders are extremely lovable and social. This is why these pets get along well with their owners and their families. If you don't spend much time at home, the best idea is to keep another sugar glider pet. Sugar gliders aren't like other pets that can get used to anywhere in the house. They need a special and large area to live. So, you should get a comfortable and big space for your special pet.
The average lifespan（寿命）of sugar gliders is around 12 to 15 years. They' reactive pets that love to jump and glide. But the owner has to give enough care and love to them in order to keep them healthy. Sugar gliders are wonderful pets to keep. They're fun to watch and play with.
