When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means no. If you want the pilot to know that its safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend (弯曲) your knees. If you want to say that its not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so its a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isnt hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a tire unless youre sure that it cant spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.Ground-to-air signalsIts a good idea lo build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols (标记). If you cant find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:F I need food and waterII I need medicine.I I am badly hurt.X I am unable lo move from here.Pilots repliesIf the pilot lowers the planes wings from side to side, this means: message received and understood (At night, the pilot flashes the planes green lights.)

Your relationship with your parents doesnt have to be perfect before you can be happy.Do you want to be happier? Well, you can do something about it. Some psychologists（心理学家）believe that 10% of your happiness is due to life conditions and 40% is the result of your own choices. Your own choices include how you manage your time at school, your relationships, your friends, your activities and your health. So you have a lot of control over how happy you feel. _ Here are some tips on how to do that.Surround yourself with positive（积极的）people. Spend time with positive people and your ideas will become active. On the other hand, good friends will encourage, support, and lift you up when youre down. _ Thats also true for the people that we work with. Dont try to be perfect. Remember that nothing can ever be perfect. _ Instead think about what you already have. Think about what youve already done. Think of where you are today as a step towards tomorrow. Dont try to be perfect, just try to do things well-with excellence. Focus on now. Dont think about all the things that can go wrong, like failing at school or your friend leaving you. Thinking like this only results in worry and stress, which is a waste of time and energy._ Just worry about making today great, because the best way to be happy is just to enjoy each day.Compare yourself to yourself, not to other people. There will always be someone smarter, or richer, or better looking or more successful than you. There will always be someone with a bigger house and a bigger boat than you. Someone will always have more. Rather, look at what you have got and who you are, accept and value that. Work toward being a better one than you were last month or last year. _ And you will feel a lot happier with, and about yourself.五、 单词拼写 (共2题；共15分)16. （10分）阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个（最多两个）适当的词或使用括号中词语的适当形式填空。On November 5th, 1872, the ship Mary Celeste left New York _ Italy.
