If you are hiking through wild places，the possibility of getting lost or injured becomes very real.You should think about carefully whether or not you are wise to head out on your own.Taking a partner along can have many advantages，especially if that partner is an experienced hiker.As  “two heads are better than one”，if you do get lost or run into difficulty，you’re much less likely to be panic if you have somebody with you to help solve the problem or even save your life.

62.

As a new hiker you should certainly follow clearly marked and well travelled routes.However，it won’t take you too long before you’re ready to take some more adventurous hiking and，at that point，there might be a lot of unknowns and you may need some help.For this reason you should always tell somebody where you’re going and when you will expect to return.

63.

It’s a good idea to always carry a basic survival kit (救生包) with you and your local hiking club will be able to give you excellent advice on the kinds of items you should take with you.The things we’re talking about here might include matches and a lighter，a first aid kit，a sharp knife and a flashlight.It’s also a good idea to have a map and compass with you and a fully­charged cell phone.

64.

      Water is clearly necessary because you may dehydrate (脱水) even over a short period of time on a hot day.Natural water sources may look clean but they can make you sick quickly.You  should remember，however，that water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon，so take enough but not too much.Also take along enough food with you.

65.

It’s all too easy when you get out into the wilderness  to  get  carried  away，with  your  own enthusiasm (热情) and try all kinds of things，but you will quickly realize it is stupid.Joining your local hiking club will allow you to get some advice and information on hiking，including such things as which are the best hiking boots to buy.

61._____________

There are a lot of benefits for children to take part in organized sports.Playing organized sports helps children get the exercise they need to stay healthy，and make sure that they have a strong and healthy body throughout their lives.Sports also help children develop and understand skills and strengths that they will need forever.

62. _____________

Children who play organized sports have an increased awareness (意识) of their bodies，and are less likely to do things that will harm them at an early age，such as smoking cigarettes，drinking，or taking drugs.Many sports programs also teach nutrition (营养学) to young children，giving them even more awareness of the things they should do and should not do to their bodies.

63. _____________

Participating in sports can help a child become more confident.As children practice and work to become better at any activity，their confidence level will increase.This new­found confidence will carry over into other things besides sports，including their studies and personal lives.Group activities such as organized  sports  help  children  identify  with  a particular group—their team，which is necessary to the personal and social development of a child.Children who do not feel they are accepted or belong anywhere often experience anxiety  and a general lack of confidence.

64. _____________

Group sports teach children that in order to become good at something，they must work toward their goals.This is a very valuable lesson，one that they must carry with them into their adult lives.Sports also teach children that when they do not succeed—losing a game，for example—that they must deal with losing，and move on.Obviously，this is necessary，because as an adult，you must move on after any kind of loss，and work to prevent those things from happening again，whether it is on the field，in your work，or in your personal life.

65. _____________

Children who take part in these kinds of activities learn to communicate and work better with their team players and with adults.Teamwork is a valuable skill for children.Organized sports often are made up of kids who have all kinds of different social and economic backgrounds，which provide the opportunity to make new friends.

The United States has about 475,000 school buses ---all painted yellow．Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country．But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel （柴油） fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers．When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally．The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June．

Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council．He says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay．As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs．Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled．Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels．Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams．And some school districts may end any bus service not required by law．

Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school．The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment．It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students．Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance．

But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school．And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School．More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement．The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution．The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year．But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day．
