In the morning , we went camping in Green Nature Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. However, in the afternoon , when we finished our picnic(野餐), it was dark and windy. Soon ,there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide(藏身).

Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining .There were hours to go before we reached the campsite(野营地). It was even worse that our compass showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way!

We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent(帐篷) to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up it . Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep up warm. But we couldn’t as everything was wet. We dried ourselves and waited inside the tent. At about five o’clock , it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us were tired.

This camping trip may not be successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I’ve learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit(精神).

1.It was even worse that they _____.

A．had no picnic                          B．lost their way

Getting lost while camping and hiking is probably the biggest problem most campers face. It’s a good idea to learn how to use a compass and map to get from place to place.   60  .

To avoid getting lost, stay on well-marked paths and never camp without a friend or family member along for the ride. Before you start on your adventure, get maps from the park or forest ranger (护林员).

  61  , follow path markers to the nearest ranger station and wait for help to arrive. If you can't find a ranger station, look for a safe place and wait for help to come looking for you. People will find you if you've followed procedures such as signing in on paths and leaving information at home on where you'll be. An ordinary sports whistle (口哨) is a camper's best friend when it comes to calling for help.   62  . If you have a cell phone and can get a signal (信号), try reaching park rangers by phone.

Once you have an unexpected problem, no matter how small it seems to you, ask park rangers for help.   63  , take along a parent or other relative. Sharing the beauty of the great outdoors can actually help you get to know the adults in your life better, without all the usual distractions (分心) of life.

A great camping trip not only leaves you with memories to treasure, it may start you on a lifelong hobby.

A. If you really want to head for the hills and none of your friends are into it

B. However, most campers have no idea how to use a compass

C. Unluckily, most campers don’t follow these steps

D. The whistle will be heard at distances the human voice can't travel

E. If you and your friend do get lost

A long walk in the desert or the mountains can be exciting. And it’s a great way to keep fit. If you carry a tent and some food, you can camp overnight. But wild places can be dangerous. Here’s how you can enjoy walking and camping safely.
Before your trip
☆ Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return. If you don’t return on time, the people at home will know that you are lost or in trouble. They will know where to look for you.
☆ Make sure you’ve got a good map of the area that you’re going to.
☆ Make sure you’ve packed the right equipment for your activities. The desert is often hot, but nights can be very cold, and sometimes there are big rainstorms. In the mountains, the weather can change suddenly. A sunny day can turn cold and cloudy quickly.
The tools for survival(生存)
Sunglasses, sun hat, sun cream, windproof jacket, good walking shoes or boots, food, water, maps, compass, first-aid kit, matches, rope, knife, ground sheet,
the pack to carry your equipment.
What to do if you get lost
☆ If you’re in a car and it has broken down, stay with your car.
☆ If you are not traveling by car, make yourself easy to see. A signal fire can be seen at night. During the day, smoke may be used to show where you are. A brightly-colored blanket(毯子) may help rescuers to find you.
☆ Stay where you are.
☆ If you walk for any reason, avoid walking during the hottest part of the day. Morning and evening walking is better for saving your energy water.
☆ Keep yourself away from the rain, wind and sun, but remember: try to make yourself be in sight.
