get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.
Body signals (信号)
Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave
your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm
from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it"s safe to land, push your hands out in
front of you and bend (弯曲) your knees. If you want to say that it"s not safe to land, put your arms in the
air and move them to one side.
Smoke signals
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it"s a good way to draw attention. If the weather
is dry, it isn"t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of
control. Never light a fire unless you"re sure that it can"t spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be
seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
Ground-to-air signals
It"s a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols (标记). If
you can"t find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:
F"I need food and water."
II"I need medicine."
I"I am badly hurt."
X" I am unable to move from here."
Pilots" replies
If the pilot lowers the plane"s wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood".
(At night, the pilot flashes the plane"s green lights.)
If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".
(At night, the pilot flashes the plane"s red lights.) However, there is no signal which means "message not
received". Why not?
B. If the ground is dark, light smoke can"t be seen.
C. If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".
D. The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.
B. The importance of making signals on an island.
C. Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.
D. Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island.

| Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it"s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don"t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟). ● Don"t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don"t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won"t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can"t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don"t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. ● Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. ● Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! |

| A. don"t get to them often B. write a letter to them C. don"t speak to them politely D. express yourself well |
| 2. If there"s really a generation gap between you and your parents, you"d better _____. |

| Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded (回应) with a polite "Why, thank you" , but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) tell about your personal qualities (品质)? Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy-the ability to put yourselfinto someone else"s head and heart. We"re all able to do this; in fact, we"re born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强) by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn"t, we"re not able to understand other people"s feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional qualities. Think back to the presents you"ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose shows your mner world. Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know. We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Paying no attention to the tradition won"t make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time. |
| 1. The underlined expression "you had missed the mark" means "you had failed to _____." |
| A. make her feel better B. keep your friendship C. receive a present in return D. get the expected effect |
| 2. In the third paragraph, the writer tells us that _____. |
| A. attention should be paid to the receivers" responses B. one learns from what he did in the past C. the choice of gifts shows one"s emotional qualities D. one should spend more time choosing gifts |
| 3. The best possible title for this passage is _____. |
| A. Ways of Choosing Gifts B. An Important Tradition C. Exchanging Presents D. Message in a Gift |

| Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you"ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn"t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don"t buy anything just because it"s cheaper than usual! "New and Improved!" or "All Natural" on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (成分) on the back. Third, compare prices; that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand. Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don"t spend much money on packing or advenising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren"t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores. Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials,but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions:Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice. |
| 1. Before you decide to buy things you should _____. |
| A. make sure whether they are on sale B. consider if you really need them C. examine the prices of different brands D. read the words on the front of the package |
| 2. The writer suggests consumers buy ordinary products because _____. |
| A. they come in plain packages B. they are advertised on newspapers C. they are both good and cheaper D. the quality is better than that of famous ones |
| 3. The main idea of the last paragraph is that _____. |
| A. ads and commercials sometimes tell lies B. advertisers sometimes hide some information C. good consumers never read ads and commercials D. we should make good use of ads and commercials |

| Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might write them in his diary. Now he might get on the Internet and write them in his blog (博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. Then, what makes a blog different from a diary? The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public than a diary. Anyone can read what you write in your blog. Usually, a teenager likes hiding his diary book and treats it as secret. If you are not satisfied with a friend and write something bad about him in your diary, he will never know it. However, if you do this on the Internet,that friend may read your blog and get angry. So we have to be careful of what we write. A blog has good points, of course. People choose to write in blogs, they know that their friends will read what they write. If you feel sad one day and write in your diary, no one will know about it. If you write the same words in your blog, your friends may quickly writer back to comfort you and offer their help. Blogs help people know what their friends are doing. Though it"s a good way to write blogs about everday life, I still prefer my old diary. |
