D.How to make a fire in the wild?

E.How to set a trap to hunt animals?

F.How to build a shelter in the wild?

1.___________

Answer: If you are in a desert environment, try to build an underground shade shelter to avoid prolonged sun exposure, obviously only for hot climates.So you can be more comfortable in cooler temperatures to avoid sweating.If your environment is damp, use branches laid and criss-crossed on top of one another to create a solid and dry foundation for an open bed pad.Raise the foundation above ground level as much as possible.

2._________

Answer: Yes, I think so.For example, if you think the best survival course of action is to look for help and civilization, don’t wait 4 or 5 days before you come to this conclusion.Take action on the 1st or 2nd day if possible while you still have strength and endurance working for you.

3._________

Answer: Use dry wood and sticks to start your fire.Fire is started by using three kinds of wood: tinder, kindling, and fuel.Tinder is any kind of flammable wood shavings, usually light and wispy.You can take two pieces of dry wood, sharpen one of them and use it to drill into the other piece.Place any highly flammable objects you can find next to the drill bit.The moment the flammable object catches a spark, use a rock to swiftly tip the object onto a nest of leaves and little branches.

4.__________

Answer: Get an ordinary block of wood and hit it with a rock repeatedly until the wood sharpens.In this case, use the rock as your sharpener.You could also take a rock and break off some of the edges and then use another rock and some water like a wet stone and sharpen.In an ideal situation, obsidian stone would be used for its infamous sharpness.

5.___________

Answer: Use two more sticks to hold up a “teepee”, similar to your shelter.Place an item of your choice you think an animal will come after, if you’re lucky, the animal will be trapped.Dig a hole in the ground about 2m-3m deep and 1m-2m across.Take two thin branches and place them criss-crossed across the hole.Cover it with leaves and put something the animals like to eat.You can also put a few wooden spikes sharpened by your knife at the bottom.Don’t forget to build a ladder or you might not be able to climb out of the hole.

Set in a future in which human has been in conflict with an alien race, the novel follows the progress of 6 year old Andrew “Ender” Wiggin, a gifted child who was the result of a government program to develop new commanders to help in the fight against the alien. In the School Ender quickly shows himself to be at the top of his class through his clever use of intelligence during a zero-gravity war game. While Ender’s success makes him a target for older, envious(嫉妒的) commanders, he keeps moving up and is finally promoted(提撥) to Command School where he gets further training from the famous commander Mazer Rackham. In Command School, Ender’s tests and games become increasingly exhausting until he is finally forced to make a frightening decision that has destroying results.

Ender’s Game centers around a group of children who seem to grow into full adults whose emotions and actions seem inconsistent with their actual ages. The youth of these characters added weight to the sadness I felt for these kids who had been raised to be cold and trained since birth to view life as a conflict to be won or lost. The fact that these “Innocents” are competing against each other to kill a faceless enemy for the better of mankind is seen as an unavoidable result of the fear that was stuck in humanity. And while obvious similarities to our own present state of war can be made, the book doesn’t focus as much on the alien threat as it does on Ender’s struggles and the results of his actions.

My main regret with this book was that I didn’t read it when I was younger. I think that I probably would have had an even greater reaction to the story and the struggles of Ender if I’d been closer to his age when I experienced it. Oh well, better late than never I guess.

1. Ender studies in Command school because of__________.

A. the conflict with other countries

B. a government program

C. his further training

D. exhausting tests and games

2.How did the writer feel about the children in Ender’s Game?

A. Fearful. B. Sad. C. Proud. D. Envious.

3.This passage is probably one part of _________.

A. a science novel B. a news story

C. a school introduction D. a book review
