You can shout or whistle（吹口哨）three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal(信号)given three times is a call for help.
     Keep up shouting or whistling. Always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making a noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give you two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.
     If you don't think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches(树枝).Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass.

     Is there anything strange high up in the world's tallest mountains ?If  so, is it a big bear(熊)？Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man?
     No one knows. This mystery(迷)has puzzled the world for years.
     In 1887. a mountain climber found large footprints(脚印)in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a very large man. But men don't walk without shoes in the snow!
     In 1906.another climber saw more than footprints. Far off, he saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it ran very quickly.
     Fifteen years later, newspapers had new stories about the walk slowly across the snow, far below him. He said it looked like a very large man.
     From then on ,more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints. The pictures showed clearly that the Snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an ape (猿)man ?The mystery grew! And the mystery keeps growing. Someday we may find out just what it is that makes the large footprints.

    Boys and girls!Do you want to know what a hobby means?OK,let me tell you.
    From Monday to Friday most people are busy working and studying,but in the evenings and weekends they are free and   1 themselves. Some watch television or go to the movies.Others 2  sports.This is decided by their own  3 .
    There are many different ways to spend our   4  time.
    Almost everyone has some  5  :it may be something from colleting stamps to   6  model planes. Some hobbies are very  7  ,but others don't cost anything at all. Some collections are worth  8  of money, others are valuable(有价值的)only to their owners.
