Look at the pictures and answer the questions.

1. What does each picture show
The first picture shows that an earthquake has happened. The road is cut off.
The second picture tells us that a disease has broken out and is probably spreading.
In the third picture, we can see a ship sinking.
The fourth picture shows us a dense jungle.
In the fifth picture, we can see an astronaut in space.
The sixth picture shows us a severe drought.
People would find it difficult to leave the area to find safety, or to receive supplies such as food, water, medicines and fuel. Power and communications may have been cut off by the earthquake. There is a risk of further quakes via an aftershock.
2. What are the difficulties people have to face in each situation
People may face difficulties such as quarantine, shortage of hospital services and panic-buying of essential medicines, food and other supplies. There may be misinformation and panic.
2. What are the difficulties people have to face in each situation
People who are unable to escape the ship on a lifeboat face the immediate dangers of drowning or of dying from exposure. Those who do escape on a lifeboat need to ration their food and water, and hope for rescue as soon as possible.
2. What are the difficulties people have to face in each situation
People would find it difficult to travel and navigate. It would also be difficult to find food and water. Wild animals and venomous insects are also potential problems.
2. What are the difficulties people have to face in each situation
Space is the most extreme environment for human beings. They face danger from extreme temperatures, low pressures and radiation. They must carry everything they need with them, even air. The lack of gravity makes simple actions such as eating, drinking, moving and even sleeping difficult. Anyone who spends too long in a zero-gravity environment risks losing bone and muscle mass.
2. What are the difficulties people have to face in each situation
Without water, people and livestock face death within a short period of time. In addition to water shortages, drought causes crop failure, so people would face food shortages as well. This could affect people who do not live in the drought-affected area. Severe food shortages can cause famine, migration, collapse of social order and war.
2. What are the difficulties people have to face in each situation

1 Where do the people in the video live
Antarctica
2 What difficulties do they face How do they overcome those difficulties
1)They have to endure extreme weather including freezing temperatures, fierce winds and strong blizzards(雪暴). When they go outside the stations, they wear special clothes for protection. As weather can change from calm to white-out in minutes, people have to take a special survival bag in case they are trapped outside overnight.
2) One of the most difficult things is the long days and nights. They may cause issues with the scientists’ body clocks. The darkness also makes outdoor research impossible.
Watch the video and answer the questions.

3) It is almost impossible to grow fresh produce there because of the extreme conditions, and most food is imported. It is difficult for scientists to have a varied diet, and they can’t get enough fresh fruit and vegetables.
4) They have to face psychological problems. To keep the scientists psychologically healthy, research stations offer activities and entertainment including live music and lectures.
3 What part of the life there would be most challenging for you Why
Maybe the extreme weather. Because it’s extremely cold or hot, which makes great differences to our daily life.
Write a short passage to talk about how to face the challenge under the extreme weather.
