Even if you are an experienced backpacker or climber，you need to know what to do if something goes wrong．It is not that Alaska is that much more dangerous than other places．It is no more hazardous than elsewhere，as long as the proper precautions(预防措施)are taken．So, being prepared is crucial to ensure a safe trip．
First of all，make sure you pack everything you will need for your trip．Even if you are traveling by car，pack clothes and gear for backpacking．Because of the bad weather, cars break down frequently. Pack a survival(生存)kit full with：a down coat, boots ,mittens, a hat, snow-pants，sleeping bags，candles，a flashlight，and high-energy food. If you are traveling by car , also pack extra belts, a shovel, and a chain.
If you are camping or hiking，make sure you know how to avoid bears．If you are lost in the wilderness, there is no doubt you will encounter them.
However，there is no need to be nervous．Just take these precautions：make noise as you walk，bears will avoid you；cook your food away from where you sleep，and store your food away from where you sleep，so the bears are not attracted．Both of these should keep the bear away．However，if you do encounter a bear，there are two different schools of thought．One is to make noise and scare the bear away．The other is to stand still and speak softly to get the bear to leave．If you are dealing with a brown bear，you can climb a tree，since it cannot follow．But，black bears can climb．If for some reason the bear attacks，play dead．Try to protect your head and neck，and hopefully the bear will leave its“dead” prey.

A recent survey among high school students in China，Japan，South Korea and the US found that Asian teenagers care more about their looks than young people in the US．
This survey was held in 156 high schools in the four countries. More than 7,000 teenagers were questioned about their view on life and the world.
South Koreans, at 83 percent, cared most about their appearance. They were followed by the Chinese and Japanese while US students showed the least interest in fashion at only 33 percent.
“The different results show differences of cultural background,” said Sun Yunxiao from the China Youth and Children Research Centre.
He explained that in the US there are many different standards of beauty, so teens are more likely to be confident about their appearance.

At the time my son was born in 1956, I shared a hospital room with a young woman who bore a boy on the same day. Partly because my parents 46 a shop selling flowers, the room was soon 47 with the lovely scent of roses.
As the seventh floral arrangement was 48 , I was beginning to feel 49 , for no flowers had arrived for my roommate, Ann. She sat on the edge of her bed and leaned forward to admire the 50 bouquet. She was a pretty young woman, yet there was something about her large, brown eyes that made me think she had known too much 51 , too much sadness for one so young. I had the feeling she had always had to admire someone else’ 52 .
“I’m enjoying every 53 of this”, she said as though she had read my 54 and was trying to reassure me. “Wasn’t I the lucky one to get you for a 55 ？”
I still felt uncomfortable, however. 56 there were some magic button I could push to 57 the sadness in her eyes. Well, I thought, at least,I can see that she has some flowers. When my mother and father came to see me that day, I asked them to send 58 some.
The flowers arrived just 59 Ann and I were finishing supper.
“More flowers for you,” she said, 60 .
“No, not this time,” I said, looking at the 61 “These are for you.”
Ann stared at the blossoms a long time, not saying anything. She ran her 62 across the pale blue bouquets and 63 touched each of the sweet roses as though trying to engrave（刻画） them on her 64 .
“How can I ever thank you” she said softly.
I was almost embarrassed. It was such a little 65 on my part.
