4．If you get into the forest with your friends，stay with them always．If you don't，you may get lost．If you really get lost，this is what you should do．Sit down and stay where you are．Don't try to find your friends-let them find you by staying in one place．
   There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you．Give them a signal （信号） by shouting or whistling （吹口哨） three times．Any signal given three times is a call for help．

If you don't think that you will get help before night comes，try to make a little house---cover up to the holes with branches （树枝） with lots of leaves．Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass．
   What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water？You would have to leave your little house to look for a river．Don't just walk away．Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back．The most important thing to do when you are lost is-stay in one place．

56．If you lost in the forest，you shouldA

3．In northern Scotland there is a long，deep lake called Loch Ness．More than 200meters deep，it is the largest lake in the UK．People say a big monster（怪兽）lives in its dark，cold waters．It weighs more than 1，000kilos and is at least ten meters long．Some people say it has a head like a horse．Others say it looks like a snake．Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster，but only a few people have seen it．At least，they say they have seen it．
   The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend（传说）．The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500years ago，but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twenties century．In 1933，a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in Loch Ness．Several people have taken photos，but at least one of them was a hoax（骗局）．During the 1960s，a team was formed to look for the monster．They took many photos and made movies，but they were never able to find a monster．
   There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness，but there is also no fact that one doesn't live．One thing is true about Loch Ness：there are a lot of tourists there．

18．Experts know that a disaster is coming but they do not know when it will happen．They do know that it could cause a lot of damage．They think it will be worse than a hurricane．The disaster they are worried about is an earthquake．
There is a break in the earth's crust （外壳）．It is called the San Andreas Fault．The San Andreas Fault is in California．Many earthquakes happen along the San Andreas Fault．In 1989 there was a big earthquake on the fault．The earthquake was called the"Loma Prieta Earthquake"．Many people were hurt or died．Many buildings were ruined．Lots of people lost their homes．Roads and bridges were also damaged．
A large earthquake could happen in Southern California．Many small earthquakes have happened in the last year．Earthquake experts think that a large earthquake will happen there soon．They think a big earthquake will happen in the next few years．
The S an Andreas Fault has many power lines stretched across it．There are water channels close to the earthquake fault．A large earthquake in Southern California would destroy energy and water supplies （供应）．Lots of people would be without power or water for weeks．Buildings that have not been built strong enough would be destroyed．Not all hospitals would be able to help people who were injured．Many people would die or be homeless．
People need to be prepared．They need to know what to do if an earthquake happens．Everyone in California should have a survival kit at home．The emergency kit （应急箱） would include food and water．There should be medication and first aid supplies in the kit．A good survival kit will also have a portable radio，flashlights and spare batteries．All of the supplies in the kit should last at least 3 days．

16．Time is in the year 2095．It is reported that a comet（彗星） is rushing towards the Earth．Most of it will miss our earth，but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of our planet
On 15 July，a piece about four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a massive explosion（爆炸）．About half of the piece is destroyed，but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound．A hole is made in the sea bed．Huge waves spread outwards from the hole．The wall of water，a kilometer high，rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour．Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned．
Before the waves arrive in South America，the second piece of the comet hits Argentina．Earthquakes and volcanoes（火山爆发） are set off in the Andes Mountains．The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean．The cities of Los Angeles，San Francisco and Tokyo are com pletely destroyed by earthquakes．Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead，but the north won't escape for long．Because of the explosions，the sun is hidden by clouds of dust，temperatures around the world fall to almost zero．Crops are destroyed．The sun won't be seen again for many years．Wars break out as countries fight for food．A year later，no more than 10 million people remain alive．
Could it really happen？In fact，it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth．The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years．Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared．Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space．The dinosaurs couldn't live through the cold climate that followed and they died out．Will we meet the same end？
