Today we live in a world where GPS systems, digital maps, and other navigation apps are available on our smart phones. 1 of us just walk straight into the woods without a phone. But phones 2 on batteries, and batteries can die faster than we realize. 3 you get lost without a phone or a compass, and you 4 can’t find north, a few tricks to help you navigate 5 to civilization, one of which is to follow the land... When you find yourself well 6 a trail, but not in a completely 7 area, you have to answer two questions: Which 8 is downhill, in this particular area？ And where is the nearest water source？ Humans overwhelmingly live in valleys, and on supplies of fresh water. 9 , if you head downhill, and follow any H2O you find, you should 10 see signs of people.

hen we are working, we leave the bags tied to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime we untie them and take them wherever we’ve chosen to sleep.

On most space shuttle flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the spaceplane; the shuttle’s computers and the engineers at Mission Control do that. If anything goes wrong, the computers ring an alarm and the engineers call us on the radio.

On the space shuttle, sleep-time doesn’t mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit the sun “rises ” and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes; then it “ sets ” as our path takes us around the dark side of the earth. To keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.

It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut sleeps differently. Some sleep upside down, some right side up. When it’s time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask, and my tape player with earphones and float up to the flight deck. Then I crawl into the bag, and float in a sitting position just above a seat, right next to a window. Before I pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by beneath me.

36、When it’s bedtime, astronauts pull their sleeping bags ________ .

One of the strongest reasons for the raising of the school leaving age (ROSLA.has been that it will bring us nearer to the ideal of “equal opportunity”.

Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children.It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is apparently so thorough.It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less rich homes reach university or do well in other ways.

Unfortunately, we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could.For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all male 18-20 year olds.Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left schools at 15.

It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939.One study of 5000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old.Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.

It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes------money, social respectability, and interesting jobs, which higher education gives.It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances.Their parents often need the extra money another wage-owner can bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy.It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “It's up to you”.

1.It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children （）.

3.Working class children are felt to be at a disadvantage because （）.

A.many of the clever ones leave school early

B.fewer go to university than ever before

C.more than half leave school when they are 16

D.fewer boys than girls stay at school after 16

4.Many children leave school early because （）.

A.their social circumstances make them unhappy

B.they have to work to support their family's income

C.their school is a dull and unhappy place

Nobody knows how much of the poem Moore invented, but we do know that it was the spark that () lit the Santa fire. Many of the things we associated with Santa一a sleigh, reindeer, Christmas Eve visits一came from Moore's poem.
