五、阅读理解。
As we know, the desert covers large areas of the earth. In the desert, there is very little rain and it is very hot during the day and so cold at night. If you are a hiker who wants to cross the desert, it might be wise to know what you should do in order to survive in the desert.
Try to find water in the desert. If you find a small piece of land where the earth is wet, dig deep inside to look for water. Another method of getting water is to cover a green plant with a transparent(透明的) plastic bag. As it breathes, water vapour will collect 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 in the desert, use it as a shelter to protect you from the strong sunlight.
Wear light - coloured clothes. You’ll be cooler if you wear that kind of clothes, which can help your body become cool and protect you from sunburn(晒伤).
Prepare to signal(示意) to planes passing overhead if you are trapped in the desert. During the day keep a smoky fire burning and at night, a bright one. Spell out the word “SOS” on the ground as large as you can, using whatever materials you can find. In this way, you are more likely to be saved.
