If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival (生存). Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but actually eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction to fear.
Find a hiding place
Unnecessary labor will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys-cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.
Signal for help
The best time to signal is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible-it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket (a special blanket for traveling), build three smoky fires and put your blanket-gold side facing out on the ground.
Do not walk away
It will make finding you more difficult, as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it.
If you get frostbite (冻伤), do not rewarm the affected area until you're out of danger.
You can walk on frostbitten feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.When lost in the mountains, you can increase your chances of survival if you_____.
| A．take a space blanket with you |
| B．do more physical labor |
| C．try to find a car immediately |
| D．walk as far as possible to find help |
According to the passage, people most probably fail to survive if they _____.
| A．do not take enough equipment |
| B．stay in the middle of the mountain |
| C．do not keep themselves warm |
| D．stay in a snow-covered area |
What can we infer from the passage?

| B．Mountain traveling is dangerous. |
| C．Don't get frightened in danger. |

Switzerland is one of the most developed countries in Europe. It is famous as one of the cleanest countries in the world.
The Swiss think that recycling is very important. The government has made laws (法律) which require everyone to recycle. In 1998, the Swiss government passed a law which says that people can not throw away any electronic machines. Instead, people are told to bring old ones, such as televisions, computers and fridges, to special centers when they didn’t need them. Many parts of the old machines are reused, and only the parts that can’t be used are thrown away. The government also charges(收费) a rubbish bag tax(税收). If people want their rubbish to be collected, they must buy yellow stickers(张贴物) and put them on their rubbish bags. In 2003, 47% of all rubbish in the cities was recycled. This included 70% of paper, 95%of glass, 71%of plastic bottles and 85—90%of cans. Until recently, people could get a small amount of money when they recycled their bottles.
