    We all know that theme parks are places to have fun and amuse ourselves, but among so many exciting rides there are also some dangers. Make sure you know what the safety standards are for all the attractions at the park. If you do that, you will be safe and have fun.

    Drink water. Believe it or not, dehydration—when your body doesn't have enough water—is the commonest cause of injuries at theme parks. Drinking water while you are at the park is not enough. You must make sure that you drink enough water before you visit it.

    Use your "common sense". There are lots of people around, so make sure you know where your friends or family are. Also, if you are walking and want to stop, make sure nobody is walking behind you. First step aside, then look behind and if you aren't in anybody's way, then stop. It might sound upset, but crashes between people can cause accidents.

    Follow the instructions. The majority of theme parks have instructions for each ride. Some rides only allow people of a certain height. So make sure you are not too tall or too short before boarding any ride. Also, people with certain diseases or conditions are advised not to go on some rides. Do remember: If you are told not to go on a ride, then DON'T.

    Do not ride until a bad stomach or if you've just eaten. Rides can make you ill because of their violent changes of direction and your lunch may end up on someone else's head; surely not a very pleasant experience.

    Have fun, relax and be a little brave! Some rides might look scary but theme parks are very safe places.

  1. (1) What does the underlined word "dehydration" (in Paragraph 2) mean?
    A . Drinking too much water. B . Losing too much water from one's body. C . Losing too much food from one's body. D . Having too much food.
  2. (2) What is the leading reason for injuries at theme parks?
    A . Snow B . Dehydration C . Fire D . Crashes
  3. (3) According to the author ________.
    A . it costs nothing to go to theme parks B . people can have lots of fun in theme parks C . men are more interested in theme parks than women D . shy people should not go to theme parks
  4. (4) Which of the following will be accepted by the author?
    A . Children should not play in theme parks. B . One shouldn't eat anything before riding. C . One must always stay with his friends or family in theme parks. D . One must read the instructions before playing in theme parks.

Human beings are the greatest threat to the survival of endangered species through hunting, habitat destruction and the effects of climate change.

Read on to learn which beautiful creatures are most in need of our help, protection and conservation.

Amur Leopard

Since 1996, the amur leopard has been classified by the IUCN as Critically Endangered with less than 70 individuals thought to exist today. It is hunted and killed for its beautiful fur. Its habitat is being destroyed for human settlement and agricultural practices.

Gorillas

Cross River Gorillas and Mountain Gorillas are both classified as Critically Endangered and Endangered by the TUCN since 1996—that is two out of five gorilla subspecies. There are currently only 200—300 Cross River Gorillas left in the wild, and 900 Mountain Gorillas.

Sea turtles

Two types of sea turtles are amongst the most endangered species in the world: the Hawksbill Turtle and the Leatherback Turtle. In the past 100 years, the Hawksbill Turtle has lost 90 percent of its population, 80 percent of which has been lost in the past 10 years. As of 1996, the IUCN classified it as a Critically Endangered species. The Leatherback turtle is listed by the IUCN as Vulnerable, yet many subpopulations are facing extinction.

Orangutan

Since the millennium, the Sumatran Orangutan has been classified by the IUCN as Critically Endangered with approximately 80% of the population lost in the past 75 years mainly as a result of mass deforestation.

Emergencies can happen anytime, so being prepared for one is important for you and your family. Having a properly stocked first aid kit in your home is an easy but necessary part of good emergency preparation.

Pick a good container

One good choice is a large translucent plastic container, which makes it easy to see the materials inside. Lunchboxes are also another good choice. Basically, if it's big enough, portable, and at least somewhat water resistant, it can make a good container. Regardless of your container choice, it should be easy to recognize, so write "FIRST AID" on it with a marker.

Make your kit safely accessible

When your child is crying about a "boo-boo" on her knee, you don't want your home kit buried on the back of a closet or lost because it's not being returned to the same spot after each use.

Teach your family about the kit

For younger children who shouldn't use the items in the kit, teach them where it's located, so they could show a visitor, relative or babysitter. For older children and adults, instruct them on how to use the items in it. Use a first aid instruction booklet, like those available from the American Red Cross for guidance and place a booklet in the kit for reference.

Keep your kit up-to-date

No one wants to fetch a first aid kit and find the bandage box empty or the pain relievers expired(过期). Keep track of supply amounts and expiration dates regularly.

Create a checklist in the kit

Record every item on a sheet of paper and keep it in the kit. Besides, record the amounts of the items and expiration dates next to the listed items on the checklist that you include in your kit. In this way, anyone who wants to reach the kit can immediately know what it includes and doesn't include. Also, they can be clear whether the items can be used.

  1. (1) Which is close to the meaning of the underlined word "translucent"?
    A . Wide. B . Advanced. C . Clear. D . Strong.
  2. (2) What should the young children be told about the home first aid kit?
    A . How to use the items. B . What contains in it. C . Where to place it. D . When to fetch it.
  3. (3) Why should the home first aid kit be examined regularly?
    A . To make it clean and tidy. B . To make sure it's available. C . To be familiar with the items. D . To learn to deal with emergencies.
  4. (4) What makes it easy to find the items in the kit?
    A . First aid marker. B . A checklist. C . A guidance. D . A booklet.
