What do you do if you're stranded（处于困境的）on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.
　　Body signals（信号）
　　Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.
　　Smoke signals
　　The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
　　Ground-to-air signals
　　It's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:
　　F "I need food and water."
　　II "I need medicine."
　　I "I am badly hurt."
　　X" I am unable to move from here."
　　Pilots' replies
　　If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".(At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.)
However, there is no signal which means "message not received". Why not?
【小题1】 Which picture means "it's not safe land"?

　
【小题2】 What can we learn from the passage?

A．Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes".

B．If the ground is dark, light smoke can't be seen.

C．If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".

D．The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.

　　【小题3】 What is the passage mainly about?

A．The explanation of building signals on an island.

B．The importance of making signals on an island.

C．Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.

D．Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island

Chinese government has decided to give up the rules of food with no checking .According to the Xinhua News, from September 17th , 2008, Chinese government decided to give up the rules of food with no checking. Many people said yes to it. The officer said that these days, the food safety accident about children milk of Sanlu made the government decide to give it up. In order to keep the food safe and people healthy, Chinese government said that all the food must be checked. The rule of food with no checking made in 1999 was given up from that day.

　　“I think if the companies get the food with no checking, they will never check their food. It gives them the chance of making the food of poor quality,” an old man said in the shop. “ I hope our government not only gives it up, but also makes some strong rules to manage the companies,” a young woman told us. “ The important point is our government should send officers to the companies and check their food every time,” a shop owner said. A young expert of food safety said, “ The department of government should take the food from the shop or supermarket and check, not ask them to send. In that way, we can get the real checking.”

　　But in order to keep people’s health, the government asks the officers to check all the food before they are sent to the shop or supermarket. That means all the food must be checked before they are sold.
