ential items to take with you. You should also take wooden matches in a waterproof case, some concentrated food such as nuts and dried fruit, and water in a canteen. Plan for emergencies as well. Take along first-aid equipment, shelter for the rain, and extra clothes. In order to stay warm, your head, hands and feet must be kept warm, so you should bring gloves, extra socks and a wool hat.

If you get lost in the woods, first try to backtrack and find the trail you were on. Look for trail signs other people may have left, such as piles of rocks, tied bunches of grass, or broken branches. Sit down and try to figure out which direction you came from. Then go back that way.

If you can't find the trail, try to explore the area, marking your path as you go. Climb a tree and look for landmarks. During the day, look for roads or rooftops in the distance. At night, look for lights and sniff the air. You may be able to smell smoke from a campfire. If you detect any of these signs, start to walk in their direction, but if it is dark, find shelter for the night and wait until morning. Even a full moon won't give you enough light, and it can throw shadows that hide dangers.

If you are lost, do not expect to be rescued. Even if someone knows you are lost and sends out a search party, it may not find you. Therefore, if you can get out on your own, do so. However, if you cannot move far for some reason, build a bright fire at night and a smoky one during the day. Try to clear an area that can be seen from the air, and use rocks to write a message. You can also use bright colors, shiny metals or mirrors to signal aircraft. Above all, do not panic.
Questions:
1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the trail signs people may have left?
2. What is true about the full moon and those who get lost in the woods?
3. What should you do if you are lost?
4. What can be used as a landmark in the wilderness in the daytime?
5. What is true about a search party?

I've been in a lot of dangerous situations. Over in Bolivia, for example, I was working for a small airline, and we carried just about everything: animals, whisky, dynamite, and, of course, people. There were times when I felt I was flying a bomb, not a plane. Once I was taking dynamite to the mines. Dynamite! Man, I had never seen so much. They had even put some on the floor right next to me. I was certainly nervous on that trip. Another time, I was flying over the mountains when suddenly the engine stopped. Somehow I got down without the plane, but I was hurt. I was lying out there for about four days before they found me. They told me later that they had almost given me up for dead. Anyway, they got me back to the hospital, and three months later I was flying again. No, I'm not afraid of flying. But there's a lot to worry about as a pilot.

Questions:
1. What is the speaker?
2. What does the speaker mean by "I was flying a bomb, not a plane"?
3. Ho
w did the speaker feel when flying a plane carrying a lot of dynamite?
4. What happened when the speaker was flying over the mountains?
5. What does the speaker think of his job?

On the morning of April 10, 1912, the luxury liner the Titanic left England on a voyage to New York. Four days later she lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. On July 18, 1956, the ocean liner the Andrea Doria left Italy. The Andrea Doria was also traveling to New York. Eight days later this great ship also lay at the bottom of the Atlantic.

The sinking of the two huge ships, these two very, very large ships, shocked the world. Reports of the two tragedies filled the newspapers for days. When the Andrea Doria went down, people compared her sinking with the sinking of the Titanic. There were similarities between the two events; however, there were also important differences.

What were some of these similarities? First of all, both ships were transatlantic ocean liners. In addition, they were both luxury liners. They carried many of the world's rich and famous people. In fact, ten American millionaires lost their lives when the Titanic went down. Today millions of dollars worth of gold, silver, and cash may still remain locked inside these two sunken ships.

Another similarity was that as each ship was sinking, there were acts of heroism and acts of evil. Some people acted very bravely, even heroically. Some people even gave up their lives so that others could live. There were also some people who acted like cowards. For example, one man on the Titanic dressed up as a woman so that he could get into a lifeboat and save his own life. The last similarity was that both of these ships were considered "unsinkable". People believed that they would never sink.

There are also differences between the great ship disasters. To begin with, the Titanic was on her very first voyage across the Atlantic. The Andrea Doria, on the other hand, was on her 101st transatlantic crossing. Another difference was that the ships sank for different reasons. The Titanic struck an icebe
rg while the Andrea Doria collided with another ship. Another contrast was that the Andrea Doria had radar to warn of the approach of another ship, but the Titanic was not equipped with radar. The Titanic had only a lookout. The lookout was able to see the iceberg only moments before the ship struck it. But, of course, the greatest difference between these two terrible accidents was the number of lives lost. When the Titanic sank, more than 1,500 people died. They drowned or froze to death in the icy North Atlantic water. Just over 700 people survived the sinking. In the Andrea Doria accident 60 people lost their lives, and about 1,650 lives were saved. One of the reasons that so many people died on the Titanic was that the ship was considered to be unsinkable and so there were about half the number of necessary lifeboats to rescue all the people aboard the ship. The Andrea Doria had more than enough lifeboats to rescue every person on the ship; however, they were able to use only about half of the lifeboats they had because of a mechanical problem. The passengers and crew of the Andrea Doria were very lucky that another ship was able to rescue most of them. The passengers on the Titanic were not so fortunate. It is interesting that the wreck of the Titanic was found only in September of 1985.

Mrs. Grace Hume is one of the few living survivors of the Tyrone disaster. The ship sailed from Liverpool for New York on the 7th of April 1926. Five hundred passengers were aboard. Only 85 of them survived. Mrs. Hume described the voyage recently for a BBC radio program.

"The morning we left Liverpool the weather was very pleasant and we were all sure we were going to have a very pleasant voyage. The captain told us it would be warm and calm all the way to New York. I still remember some of the passengers. There was an old lady who was going to visit her son in Boston. And there was a man who was going to start a new life in Canada. They both went down with the ship. The first and second days were very nice. I thought I would soon have a fine suntan. Then, on the second evening, the captain told us that the weather the next day was going to be a bit worse than expected but that it wouldn't last long.

"It turned very nasty on the third day. I remember someone saying, 'Oh, well, it'll soon be over.' None of us had any idea how bad it was going to get. By the time it was evening, it was really terrible.

"Everybody stayed in their cabins on the fourth day. The storm was impossible to describe by then. Suddenly I felt a jolt. Then someone started screaming something about a huge leak in the engine room. We all ran up on to the deck. I was sure I would never be able to get in one of the lifeboats. There were too many people fighting over them. I also knew that I would go down with the ship if I stayed any longer because it was going to sink any minute. When I jumped into the water I sank so deep that I was sure I was never going to come u
p again. Somehow I did and there was a lifeboat in the water near me, only half full. Someone pulled me in.

"During the night I often thought we were going to sink again or at least die of the cold, but the next morning the storm died down. Then a ship came into sight and we and some people in another lifeboat were rescued."

( Joe Burns is a famous racing-driver. He is being interviewed on a sports program.)
Reporter: You've had a very dangerous life, haven't you, Joe? I mean, you've almost been killed several times, haven't you?
Joe: Yes. I suppose that's right.
Reporter: When was your worst accident?
Joe: I'd say last year. It was during the British Grand Prix. I smashed into a wall. The car was completely ruined and my left leg was broken. Luckily, nobody was killed.
Reporter: Is that the only time you've been...er...close to death?
Joe: No. Once, during the Mexican Grand Prix, two cars in front of me had a bad accident. One of them ran into the other. I swerved to avoid them and hit a fence. My car was badly damaged, but luckily, I wasn't even hurt.
Reporter: You must enjoy danger. I mean, you wouldn't be a racing-driver if you didn't want to be, would you?
Joe: I don't know about that. I had a very frightening experience quite recently. I was frightened to death! I thought I was going to be killed at any moment.
Reporter: Really? When was that? During your last race?
Joe: No. It was on my way to this studio. I had to drive through London during the rush hour.
