Teenager Jake Deham was skiing 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. At home, Jake watched a lot of programs about living in difficult situations. He remembered the advice from these programs and knew that he should build a hole in the snow. He made a hole and pointed it up the hill so the wind couldn't blow into it. Outside his hole, the temperature fell to a dangerous-15℃ that night, but inside it Jake was safe from the cold.

    But he had to get down the mountain. The TV programs 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.

    So, the next time someone says that watching TV is a waste of time, think of Jake. Sometimes TV can save your life!

How I've Changed!

My life has changed a lot in the last few years. 

Hello, everyone! It's very nice to meet you.

It was a hot summer night. Rachel was lying on her bed, sleepless.

" Rachel ," Grandma whispered." Get up. I have something to1 you."

 Rachel rolled over." What is it ?"

" Just 2 your shoes and come with me ," Grandma said.

 Hand in hand, 3 walked down the stairs and crossed the kitchen. Rachel shut the door softly, 4 she wouldn't wake her parents up.

 Today, Rachel and her parents drove two hours to New York City to visit her sister, Claire, at sleepaway camp. Then they drove to' Uramdma's house in this quiet country. No matter how Rachel had begged her parents. to let hei go to the 5 with Claıre, they disagreed. Rachel6 her sister so much that she wasn't in the mood(心情) to do anything.

 Outside, it was so dark. Grandma turned on a flashlight and started walking. Her shoes madea shh - shh sound in the grass .

" Where are we going ?" Rachel asked a little 7 , with her hands holding Grandma's tightly(紧紧地).

" You' ll see." said Grandma.

 They reached the edge of the woods behind the house. Grandma smiled at Rachel, then stepped into the forest. Some 8 appeared out of the darkness.

" What are they ?" Rachel asked.

" They' re little fireflies." said Grandma.

 They followed the lights deeper into the woods. 9 , they arrived at a clearing (林中空地) , and Grandma turned off her flashlight. Fireflies were 10 .

" They' re talking to one another," Grandma said." They talk 11 light."

" What are they saying?" Rachel asked.

"I really don't know," Grandma said." It's a secret language. Spend enough time with them , and maybe you'll find it out."

 For a long while, Rachel watched the lights. She 12 this clearing was the situyupway camp. She and her sister were two of the fireflies. They were flashing each other 13 , telling each other secrets. They are connected .

 Walking back to Grandma's house, Rachel wasn't 14 at all. She asked Grandma15 they could do that the next day. She gave her a big smile.
