四、阅读填句
Nowadays, so many people are becoming interested in adventurous trips in the wild. No one intentionally gets lost in the wild, but circumstances such as weather conditions or medical emergencies may require the use of wilderness survival. 1 Here are some of the tips:
Remain dry to keep the body warm. 2 Avoid frostbite(冻伤) by staying out of the wind. Uncovered skin can become frostbitten in a matter of seconds under the right conditions. Wind is the biggest factor. Stay out of direct sunlight and find shade where possible. Direct sun can cause heatstroke (中暑) or result in dehydration (脱水).
Look for a cave or other natural weather shelter. Check for other wildlife like bears, snakes before entering the shelter. 3 Use as many branches as possible for protection against the wind and weather. If you are in a desert environment, try to build an underground shade shelter to avoid prolonged sun exposure so you can travel more comfortably in cooler temperatures.
4 Use matches or lighters if available. Strike a flint (燧石) or a sharp edged rock with steel from a knife blade. Use dry wood and sticks to start your fire.
Eat only known plants like berries, nuts and fruit. This is not the time to test your wild mushroom knowledge. Watch for signs of wildlife. 5
A. Do not get wet.
B. Don’t be too nervous.
C. Light a fire using one of several methods.
D. Build a shelter with branches and with rope.
E. Drive away the animals that are dangerous to us.
F. If the animals eat it, it is probably safe for humans too.
G. With key survival techniques, a person can survive in the wild until help arrives.
