Knowing how much her own children loved presents at Christmas，Ann Sutton always tried to seek help for one or two poor families．With a social worker mother，the Sutton children．had inherited（繼承）her commitment to service，and knew never to take their good fortune at Christmas for granted．This year，Kinzie，her seven-year-old daughter was thrilled that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a 22-year-old mother named Ashley who worked in a factory raising her 12-month-old son by herself．

The phone rang on Sunday．A representative from a local organization was calling to say that the aid Ann had requested for Ashley had fallen through．No Santa Claus，no presents，nothing．

Ann saw the cheer fade away from her children's faces at the news．Without a word，Kinzie ran into her bedroom．She returned，her face set with determination．

Opening up her piggy bank，she put all the coins onto the table: $3．30．Everything she had．

“Mom，”she told Ann，“I know it's not much．But maybe this will buy a present for the baby．”

At a breakfast meeting the next day，Ann told her coworkers about her daughter story．To her surprise，staff members began to open their purses．a(chǎn)nd empty their pockets to help Kinzie．

On Christmas Eve，Ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the Ashley’s lived．Then she began to unload the gifts from the car，handing them to Ashley one by one．

Ashley was very moved．Reflecting on a little girl's generosity，Ashley says she'll one day be able to do something similar for someone else in need．“Kinzie could have used that money for herself，but she gave it away，”Ashley says．“She's the type of kid I'd like my son to grow up to be．”

Justin Bieber may have millions of fans worldwide, but Russia’s bears don’t appear to admire the pop singer’s music --- which proved fortunate for one lucky fisherman.

Igor Vorozhbitsyn had his life saved by a Justin Bieber ringtone, when his mobile phone went off during a dangerous attack by a brown bear.

The 42-year-old was attacked as he was walking to a favourite fishing spot in northern Russia’s Yakutia Republic and firmly believed that he was going to be killed.

Wildlife experts believe the ringtone must have frightened the bear into stopping its attack.

‘Sometimes a sharp shock can stop an angry bear in its attack and that ringtone would be a very unexpected sound for a bear,’ explained one．

Mr Vorozhbitsyn suffered from cuts and severe wounds and was rescued when he was found by other fishermen after using the phone to call for help.

Mr Vorozhbitsyn ---now recovering from his wounds---explained: ‘I had parked my car and was walking towards the spot I’d marked out when there was a tremendous impact on my back and the bear was on top of me.’

‘I couldn’t believe my luck when the phone went off and it run away.’

‘I know that sort of ringtone isn’t to everyone’s taste but my granddaughter loaded it onto my phone for a joke,’ he added.

Adult brown bears can weigh as much as 600kg and have been known to kill wolves and even Siberian tigers.

Finally, this is a proof that Justin Bieber is unbearable

Questions:

A．Do you think people should be decisive in the wild？

B．How to make hunting tools？

C．Do you think people should send an SOS while they are in danger？

D．How to make a fire in the wild？

E．How to set a trap to hunt animals？

F．How to build a shelter in the wild？

1.___________

Answer: If you are in a desert environment, try to build an underground shade shelter to avoid prolonged sun exposure, obviously only for hot climates．So you can be more comfortable in cooler temperatures to avoid sweating．If your environment is damp, use branches laid and criss-crossed on top of one another to create a solid and dry foundation for an open bed pad．Raise the foundation above ground level as much as possible．

2._________

Answer: Yes, I think so．For example, if you think the best survival course of action is to look for help and civilization, don’t wait 4 or 5 days before you come to this conclusion．Take action on the 1st or 2nd day if possible while you still have strength and endurance working for you．

3._________

Answer: Use dry wood and sticks to start your fire．Fire is started by using three kinds of wood: tinder, kindling, and fuel．Tinder is any kind of flammable wood shavings, usually light and wispy．You can take two pieces of dry wood, sharpen one of them and use it to drill into the other piece．Place any highly flammable objects you can find next to the drill bit．The moment the flammable object catches a spark, use a rock to swiftly tip the object onto a nest of leaves and little branches．

4.__________

Answer: Get an ordinary block of wood and hit it with a rock repeatedly until the wood sharpens．In this case, use the rock as your sharpener．You could also take a rock and break off some of the edges and then use another rock and some water like a wet stone and sharpen．In an ideal situation, obsidian stone would be used for its infamous sharpness．

5.___________

Answer: Use two more sticks to hold up a “teepee”, similar to your shelter．Place an item of your choice you think an animal will come after, if you’re lucky, the animal will be trapped．Dig a hole in the ground about 2m-3m deep and 1m-2m across．Take two thin branches and place them criss-crossed across the hole．Cover it with leaves and put something the animals like to eat．You can also put a few wooden spikes sharpened by your knife at the bottom．Don’t forget to build a ladder or you might not be able to climb out of the hole．
