26、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.

They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots (枪声). When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to 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.

27、Three-year-old Teddy Lasry was sleeping in his cowboy outfit(套装)yesterday at his family’s Fifth Ave. apartment when he shot up in bed screaming. A 3-foot-long black-and-white snake twisted around his left arm and had just bitten his little finger,
“The babysitter was frightened to death.” said Teddy’s father David Lasry, who, along with his wife, Evelyn, was at work when the snake appeared about 4:00 pm. The horrified babysitter called 911 and the building’s doorman. The doorman and two cable TV workers helped take the snake off the boy’s arm and put it in a garbage bag. Police rushed Teddy to Mount Sinai Medical Center, where he spent two hours attached to a heart monitor as a precaution in case the snake was poisonous. It wasn’t. Experts at the snakebite treatment center at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, where policemen took the snake, found out it was a non-poisonous California king snake. But how did it end up in Teddy’s bed?
A little detective work determined that the snake had escaped two weeks ago from its cage in the apartment of a doctor whose family lives four floors below the Lasrys. The owner said his son’s pet snake likely traveled up the water pipes and into his neighbor’s apartment. “It’s a very gentle, very harmless snake, ”he said: “It’s handled by our family all the time.”
David Lasry believed the pet was simply hungry after two weeks of wandering. Evelyn said her son seems to have overcome his fright by thinking of himself as a hero cowboy as he rode in the back of the police car to the hospital.
“I told Teddy he’s a pretty snake, a nice pet snake who got out of his cage.” Evelyn said. “But he asked, ‘Why did he bite my finger, Mamma?’ And I said, ‘Because he saw that you are a big boy, Teddy, in your cowboy outfit and he got scared.’”

31、根据下面短文内容,在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词,使短文完整、通顺。
Coffee bars, live music, cinemas and shopping malls—Chinese cities offer everything that a young person might want. But there are many young people who hardly have time to enjoy these things. That’s because they follow what is called the “996” work schedule (时间表) 【1】 at 9 am and finishing at 9 pm, six days a week.
The “996” work schedule has recently become a hot topic of discussion online after a computer programmer set up a website called “996.ICU”. According to the website, working a “996” schedule 【2】 enough rest is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in an intensive care unit (ICU,重症监护病房). This work schedule is now widely used at Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei, New York Times reported. It causes many tech industry workers to complain. One worker from Baidu company said, “I know I am not the 【3】 worker who works overtime I have worked ‘996’ for nine months and I haven’t received any overtime pay. It’s unfair though quite common.” Another worker named Zhang told Quartz, “I can’t sleep well and become ill because of the great pressure. I feel really tired, so I am considering giving up this job and looking for 【4】.”
However, the bosses of some tech companies have supported “996”. Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it’s “a huge treasure” for young workers to work “996”. “If you don’t put more time and energy than others, how will you achieve the success you want? If you don’t work ‘996’ when you’re young, 【5】 will you?” he said.
Many have questioned Ma’s words. In a passage in People’s Daily, one writer said “Working ‘996’ is just working overtime. However, working overtime does not 【6】 working hard. Working hard requires efforts and working wisely and effectively.”
A lawyer called Cui Zhendong told China Daily that it is against the 【7】 to use a compulsory (强制的) “996” work schedule. China’s Labor Law clearly announces that workers should work no more than eight hours a day 【8】 more than forty-four hours a week.
