L6-U1-P1-4 Reading : The Boy Who Cried Wolf? 狼來(lái)了

Once?upon?a time there was a?mischievous young boy who was given?the task of?tending a herd of sheep on a hillside?near?a village.The boy grew?tired?and bored while watching the sheep, so he found ways to amuse himself, such as climbing trees or chasing sheep.?One day he came up with?what?he thought was a brilliant idea. He climbed to the top of a tree and shouted toward?the village:"Wolf! Wolf! Help me please!"

When the villagers heard his cries?for help, they?rushed up the hill to rescue him and?chase?the wolf away. Of course, when they got there, there was no wolf to be seen, and the boy, who was still in the tree, was laughing. The sheep were?grazing peacefully. Annoyed, the villagers returned to the village and back to their normal activities.

A few days later, the boy grew bored again, and played the sametrick on the villagers. This time the villagers were?furious at the boy. That night he was punished by his mother for his bad behavior.

What he saw from a tree was a?frightening sight, a big,hairy wolf?chasing?after the sheep, Terrified, he?screamed for help:"Wolf! Wolf! There's a wolf chasing the sheep!"

This time, when the villagers heard his cries for help, they were?convinced that it was another one of his?pranks. Nobody?believed?that there was really a wolf, so they?ignored?his?frantic calls for help. The wolf,?having?nothing to fear,?feasted on?several of the sheep and then?slipped back?into the forest.

What do you think the boy learned? Lying to others can have serious consequences.

What can you infer from the passage of the boy? He was mischievous and selfish.

L6-U1-P1-5 Reading : Survival in the Outback?在內(nèi)陸地區(qū)生存

What would you do if you ever found yourself lost in the wild?To find out, you can join a weekend survival course in Australia's Outback Desert. This?vast area is famous?for its?harsh desert?climate.

To survive, your first task will be to find?water, a rare?commodityin the desert. Animals such as ants and seed-eating birds are strong indicators of water.You can also cut and suckmoisturefrom the roots and?leaves?of plants. Trees like the desert oak have roots near the?surface. But be?careful. The branches of gum trees are a rich?source?of water, but the leaves are?poisonous,?so don't eat them.

The best place to build a shelter?is in an area with the least amount of sunlight, like between?sand dunes or in a trench, To make a trench, dig a hole?big enough to?lie down?in and use the extra sand to create a barrieror wall on each?side. This can help to?shield?you from the?glare?and?scorching?heat of the sun.

Nights can be cold, so knowing how to make a fire is essential. One way to build a fire is to use the hand drill method. This is one of the oldest and simplest ways to start a fire. It involves rolling a stick between your hands while pressing it onto a notched piece of wood with dry tinder below. The idea is to use the friction to create enough heat to ignite the tinder. This can be a lot of work.

As for food, you'll have to be open-minded. Some forms of life can be?ugly?to look at but can?provide you with enough?protein?to?survive. They may even taste good, like scrambled eggs!

The purpose of this reading is?....to give advise on how to survive in the desert.

What should you be careful of when searching for water??the leaves of gum trees

An area is vast if it is ----immense or huge .

Something is rare if it is?...hard to find .

How can you make a trench ?

Where should you build a shelter?

This?vast area is famous?for its?harsh desert?climate.

What would you do if you ever found yourself lost in the wild.

As for food, you'll have to be open-minded.

One way to prepare yourself to survive in the wilderness is to take a weekend survival course.
