If you go into the woods with your friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you do get lost, this is what you should do.

Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends — let them find you. You can help them to find you by staying in one place.

There is another way to help your friends or other people nearby to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling(吹口哨)three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help. You will be helped by others.

Keep up the shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gunshots. 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 and cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves and grass. What should you do if you get hungry or need to drink some water? You should have to leave your little branch house to look for a brook. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.

The most important thing to do when you are lost is — stay in one place.

1. How do you let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun?

A. Stop now and then.

B. Go on shouting or whistling.

C. Shout over and over at the top of voice.

D. Shout or whistle three times once a while.

2.If nobody answers you after your signal, what should you do then?

A. Give two gunshots. B. Shout louder.

C. Stop shouting. D. Make a house.

3. If you feel thirsty when you are lost in the forest, what should you do?

A. Go and find a brook.

B. Light a fire and make yourself some tea.

C. Go to find a brook and leave marks behind you.

D. Find something to hold the water.

4.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. What Do Three Shots And Two Shots Mean In A Forest

B. How To Find Your Friends When You Are Lost In The Woods

C. What To Do If You Get Lost In A Forest

D. The Most Important Thing To Do Is To Stay In One Place

I spotted (发现;认出) him at the checkout counter, bagging at No.14. His arms shook violently as he placed a box of eggs into a plastic bag. He wore a name card upon which he had wiritten “Jerry” in kindergarten handwriting. He looked middle-aged but his mental age must have been about 12.

Ever since I smiled at him the first time he bagged my groceries at my local supermarket, Jerry has followed me around like an adoring fan. His lack of boundaries makes me uncomfortable. I don’t know how to avoid being noticed by him. I don’t want to speak to the manager — my complaint could get him fired. So I started avoiding him.

I can still remember the hurt I felt when I was 10 and our neighbor Mrs. Ward didn’t respond when I said hello with David and Diane. Instead, she hurried out of the supermarket, leaving me holding my brother and sister’s hands. I realized at that moment that I hated Mrs. Ward’s reaction. Why, then, years later, was I acting as she had?

I picked up a magazine Real Simple. The beautiful photos did nothing to straighten out the guilt in me. I was being ridiculous. The last three times I have seen Jerry, I rushed. There are other stores, but I chose this one because it employs people with disabilities. I want people like my brothers to have jobs. I don’t want them to be ignored, the way I am avoiding Jerry.

1.We know from the text that Jerry ________

A. suffered from fragile X syndrome

B. had a mental age not matching his real age

C. couldn’t write his name

D. only had a kindergarten education

2.Why did the author feel uncomfortable?

A. Jerry was like a fan of her

B. Real Simple couldn’t straighten out her guilt

C. Jerry always stepped on her feet

D. Jerry didn’t keep a proper distance from her

3.We can infer from the text that ________.

A. there are many people like Mrs. Ward

B. the store the author visited treated the disabled equally

C. most employees in the supermarket are disabled

D. the store manager ignored people with disabilities

4.What is the author’s attitude towards people with disabilities?

A. cautious B. unconcerned

C. ridiculous D. caring
