阅读下列短文,按要求答题。
If you get into the forest with your friends, stay with them always. If you don't, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don't try to find your friends-let them find you by staying in one place.
There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you, Give them a signal(信号) by shouting or whistling(吹口哨) three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.
Keep up shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots(枪声). When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.
If you don't think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house-cover up to the holes with branches(树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.
What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little house to look for a river. Don't just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back. The most important thing to do when you are lost is-stay in one place.
判断正(T)误(F):
( ) 1. If you get lost in the forest, you should walk around the forest and shout so that your friends could hear you
( ) 2. If you want to walk away to look for a river, you can pick off small branches and drop them on the way.

二、阅读理解。
When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence .
Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules(规则) for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners can’t understand the speakers’ sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”
“I’ve seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实际) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.

A. we shouldn’t put every word into our own language
B. we shouldn’t look up every word in the dictionary

D. we must read word by word
( ) 2. The writer thinks it is __________ in learning English.
A. difficult to understand different sounds
B. possible to remember the word order
C. important to master the rules in different ways
D. easy to master the rules for word order
( ) 3. We can learn from the passage that ___________.
A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words
B. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
C. sometimes different order of words has a different meaning
D. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different
( ) 4. “She only likes apples,” ___________
A. is the same as “Only she likes apple”.
B. is different from “Only she likes apple”.
C. means “She likes fruit except apples”.
D. means “She doesn’t like apples”.
