As we know, the desert covers large areas of the Earth. In the desert, there is very little rain and it is very hot in the day and so cold at night. If you are a hiker (徒步者) or drive through the desert, it might be wise to know what you should do in order to be saved in the desert.
Drink a little water every hour. If you find a small piece of land where the earth is wet, dig deep to look for water. Another method of getting water is to cover a green plant with a plastic bag. As it breathes, the water vapor (蒸汽) will be collected inside the bag. Little by little, you can collect enough water to drink.
Plan to travel at night and sleep during the day, if you find you have to stay in the desert for a period of time. If you can find any shade (阴凉处) in the desert, use it to protect you from the strong sunlight.
Wear clothing in light color. It may seem like you’ll be cooler if you wear that kind of clothes, which actually helps your body to become cool and helps protect you from sunburn.
Prepare to signal (发信号) planes passing overhead if you are caught in the desert. During the day keep a smoky (有烟的) fire burning and at night, a bright, clean burning one. Spell out the word SOS on the ground as large as you can using whatever materials you can find. In this way, you have more chances to be saved.

Having a picnic is one of the great pleased activities in summer. There are some things you should think about.
Packing (打包) your foods
Before you set off, check if your food box is shut closely. If it’s a hot summer’s day, then a cool box will be useful for keeping your picnic foods.
Don’t forget to pack cups or bottles for drinks.
Food safety
You should keep things like meat pies, fish and dairy dishes in cold boxes. You’d better keep your foods on ice for as long as possible before you eat them. Finally, carry some hand sanitizers (洗手液). Make sure that everyone’s hands are clean before they touch the foods.
Delicious snacks
After you have prepared the main dishes, it’s time to pack some snacks. Chips, chocolate candies and cookies are considered great picnic snacks. They are very delicious, of course, but be careful not to eat too many of them.

Many people catch a cold in the spring and autumn. There are hundreds of kinds of viruses(病毒). You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure(疗法) for each one.
When a virus attacks(攻击) your body, you may work hard to get rid of(摆脱) it. Blood rushes to your nose and brings congestion(充血) with it. You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually “eating” the virus. Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting to your cells. You may feel painful, but actually your body is trying to fight against the cold.
Different people have different remedies for colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot showers and drink hot water. Other people take the medicine to stop the fever, congestion, and runny nose.
There is one interesting thing to note—some scientists say taking the medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it or kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own.

You probably talk to your friends more than you talk to your parents. That’s natural, even if you and your parents have a good relationship. Still, it’s good to have a parent’s help, advice and support (支持).
Think about what you want or need from your parents.
Do you want to tell them something important?
“I need your advice about something. Can we talk?”
“Will you allow me to go on a class trip next week?”
Are you worried that your parents will be crazy or disappointed (失望的)? Don’t let the feeling stop you from talking. Instead, let your feeling be part of the talk.
“I want to tell you something that’s very personal. And I’m worried about how you’ll feel.”
“I need to talk to you. But I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you.”
Pick a good time and place to talk.
Find a time when your parents aren’t busy with anything else. Ask, “Can we talk now?
| A．Is now a good time? |
| B．Think about how you feel. |
| C．Do you want them to listen to you? |
| D．You can put your feelings into words. |
