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

YUXI, China — Many people of this city in southwester China spent Saturday night in tents, too scared to sleep in their homes after an earthquake which killed 188 people early that morning.

Countless homes were destroyed and lots of people became homeless after the earthquake which is believed to have a magnitude of 7.

The quake was not as serious as the 7.9-magnitude earthquake in 2008 that left more than 70,000 people dead in the Wenchuan area. But villagers who work in Chengdu, about 100 miles away, hurried back home Sunday morning, many on foot, the lucky ones on motorbikes, to check on their homes.

Song Yuanqing, 43, a worker, arrived back after a 22-hour trip and found his house was still there but had already been very unstable(摇摇欲坠). “We would like to do something, but we can’t do anything,” Mr. Song said as he sat with neighbors around an outdoor fire built by the village leader in his backyard.

In all, the government sent about 7,000 soldiers and People’s Armed Police officers to the earthquake-hit area. By Saturday evening, there were so many rescue workers in the area that the government asked volunteers to stop coming.

Li Keqiang, China’s prime minister, flew to the area and slept in a tent on Saturday evening in Lushan County.

The earthquake shook Sichuan Province at 8 a.m., when people were getting up a little later than usual because schools and universities were closed.

“We were just getting up and getting dressed in our dormitory when the building shook, and I looked outside from our window and saw a row of houses had collapsed,” Xu Yan, 22, a student at the Agricultural University in Ya’an, said in a telephone interview. “I had never flew down the stairs faster.”

The Chinese government said early Sunday that the death toll was 174, and about 5,700 people had been injured.

The earthquake was also felt in Chengdu, one of China’s biggest cities and the capital of Sichuan Province. People described water getting out of home aquariums and things like balls falling to the floor.

In the town of Longmen, another hard-hit area near Ya’an, a local man, Zhang Yan, said 90 percent of the buildings had collapsed.

“About 100 people died around here,” Ms. Zhang said in a telephone interview. “Rescue teams have not yet arrived. There is no water or electricity.”

In the 2008 quake, many schools of poor quality collapsed and killed thousands of students. This time, many people also expressed their worries about students on their micro-blogs.

Sichuan Province is also one of China’s best-known hometowns for pandas, and at the Bifengxia reserve, about six miles north of Ya’an, workers said that 20 pandas in the park were safe. “We examined the panda area after the quake, and they were not affected,” said Chen Yong, an officer of the reserve.
