When we are unfamiliar with something, we may feel nervous and fearful. The help of others is a good 　35 to help us pull through.

　 I write for a big newspaper, and I wanted to 36 a story about parachute jumping（跳伞）. To make it a realistic as well as exciting story, I decided that I had to make a jump myself 　37 . Unluckily, I’m not good at any sport, let alone（更不用说）parachute jumping.

　 My friend Mr. Smith was willing to give me a 　38 . He took me to a ground school. The first day’s 　39 included several hours of instruction but not my first drop from an airplane. For this, I had to wait until the following morning.

　 The next morning, I was taken to the airfield. There, a heavy parachute was put on my back. Then I was asked to make my way to a small plane which had just stopped slowly on the runway. Once on board, the plane was soon 　40 . I began to feel nervous. As we reached one thousand meters, Harry, my teacher, hooked（钩）a 　41 from my parachute to a steel（钢制品）ring inside the plane. The line was to pull my parachute 42 after I jumped.

　 “Get ready, Henry,” Harry said. I moved carefully to the door. I wanted to cry, “NO, no, no!” But no word came.

　 “Jump!” Harry called loudly. “Jump!”

Away from the plane, and down, down I fell, arms stretched. It worked! All at once I was very happy. Then I felt a quick 　43 . My big parachute had opened! It was the best

44 I ever had. I looked down. There were rivers, trees, fields and houses. I heard the soft sound of the air. This was fun.

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.
