    　　If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival(生存). Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but actually eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction to fear.

    Find a hiding place.

    　　Unnecessary labor will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered ar-ea, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys-cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.

    Signal rescuers for help.

    　　The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible-it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket(a special blanket for traveling), build three smoky fires and put your blanket-good side fa-cing out-on the ground.

    Do not walk away.

    　　It will make finding you more difficult,as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it.

    If you get frostbite(冻伤), do not rewarm the affected area until you're out of danger.

    　　You can walk on frostbitten feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain,you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.

    (1) When lost in the mountains, you can in-crease your chances of survival if you________.

    C．try to find a car immediately

    E
    A century ago in the United States, when an individual brought suit against a company, public opinion tended to protect that company. But perhaps this phenomenon was most striking in the case of the railroads. Nearly half of all negligence cases decided through 1896 involved railroads. And the railroads usually won.
    Most of the cases were decided in sate courts, when the railroads had the climate of the times on their sides. Government supported the railroad industry; the progress railroads represented was not to be slowed down by requiring them often to pay damages to those unlucky enough to be hurt working for them.
    Court decisions always went against railroad workers. A Mr. Farwell, an engineer, lost his right hand when a switchman’s negligence ran his engine off the track. The court reasoned that since Farwell had taken the job of an engineer voluntarily at good pay, he had accepted the risk. Therefore the accident, though avoidable had the switchmen acted carefully, was a “pure accident”. In effect a railroad could never be held responsible for injury to one employee caused by the mistake of another.
    In one case where a Pennsylvania Railroad worker had started a fire at a warehouse and the fire had spread several blocks, causing widespread damage, a jury found the company responsible for all the damage. But the court overturned the jury’s decision because it argued that the railroad’s negligence was the immediate cause of damage only to the nearest buildings. Beyond them the connection was too remote to consider.
    As the century wore on, public sentiment began to turn against the railroads—against their economic and political power and high fares as well as against their callousness toward individuals.
    72. Which of the following is NOT true in Farwell’s case?
    A. Farwell was injured because he negligently ran his engine off the track.
    B. Farwell would not have been injured if the switchman had been more careful.
    C. The court argued that the victim had accepted the risk since he had willingly taken his job.
    D. The court decided that the railroad should not be held responsible.
    73. What must have happened after the fire case was settled in court?
    A. The railroad compensated for the damage to the immediate buildings.
    B. The railroad compensated for all the damage by the fire.
    C. The railroad paid nothing for the damaged building.
    D. The railroad worker paid for the property damage himself.
    74. The following aroused public resentment EXCEPT _____.
    A. political power   B. high fares    C. economic loss   D. indifference
    75. What does the passage mainly discuss?
    A. Railroad oppressing individuals in the US.
    B. History of the US railroads.
    C. Railroad workers’ working rights.
    D. Law cases concerning the railroads.
