24、Teenager Jake Deham was skiing(滑雪) with his family in the USA when he fell over and lost one of his skis. His family didn’t know that he had a problem. They kept on skiing. When they got to the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of Jake.

Jake couldn’t find his ski anywhere. In the end, he decided to take off his other ski and walk down the mountain. But he couldn’t work out the right way to go.

It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety. He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures. But Jake kept calm(镇定). At home, Jake watched a lot of programmes about living in difficult situations. He remembered the advice from these programmes and knew that he should build a hole in the snow.

The TV programmes always said,“ If you are lost, you should find someone else’ s tracks(足迹) through the snow and follow them.” “I wanted to live my life.” remembers Jake.“So I got up and I found some ski tracks and I followed those.” He walked and walked and finally he saw lights. Nine hours after he lost his ski, he found a team of worker who came to save him. He was safe!

His mum was very happy when she heard the news. Amazingly, Jake didn’t even have to go to hospital. He got through the terrible experience without any injuries.

26、In Syria, there’s a library, and it has 15, 000 books on almost every subject you can think of. However, it is different from any libraries you know. It is a secret underground library, and only people in Syria know where it is.

You may ask, “In a place like Syria, would people be interested on books?” “Just like the body need food, the mind needs books.” says one library user.

27、If you’re traveling to the United States, you need to understand the common way to say hello—a handshake. Friends shake hands. Women, men and even children can shake hands.

Shaking hands also seems simple, but there are some important things to remember. When you shake hands, you must look into the other person’s eyes the whole time you’re shaking hands.

Shake hands strongly. If you give a weak handshake, the other person might think that you’re not kind. They might also feel that you don’t like them or you don’t want to touch them. Shake hands with men and women the same way. If you shake hands with a very old person or a little child, be careful not to hurt them.

Some people don’t know how long to keep shaking. The most common handshake should have three shakes and then you should let go. Don’t worry if Americans shake hands a little longer.

Your handshake is like your smile. It’s special to you. You need to find a comfortable strong handshake that shows what you are like. Because the handshake allows people to touch, the hand should be warm, clean and dry.

Put your hands into your pockets before you shake hands. This will warm them. If you know you’re going to meet someone, wash your hands so they’ll be clean. Everyone gets nervous and your hands may get wet. It isn’t a good feeling for the other person. Again, put your hands into your pockets. This will dry them.
