1 .        Last year, Bob visited Vancouver, Canada alone. He went there to give a talk on the environment. When it was over, he traveled to the Rocky Mountains and stayed in the Maple Leaf Hotel. He then took a short walk to look at the local (当地的) plants in the forest. After a few hours, he knew he took the wrong way, but was sure he could get back to the hotel.
       However, after walking for several hours the next day, Bob knew he was in trouble. “I had my mobile phone, but the battery (电池) was almost dead. I could probably make just one call. But I didn’t know the number of my hotel and I didn’t want to worry my family unless I really had to,” said Bob. He went on walking for three more days. He knew which plants he could eat and he had little trouble finding them.
       On the fourth day, he knew it was hopeless and decided to call his family. “He was quite calm when he spoke to me on the phone,” said Shirley, Bob’s wife (妻子). “He seemed to be in control of the situation.” Shirley called the Maple Leaf Hotel at once. “That week lots of visitors went to the city to watch basketball games, and we thought Mr. Rigsby went there too,” said the hotel owner. As soon as Shirley phoned, the hotel sent out some people to look for Bob. They found him about one hour later, and luckily he was quite unhurt.
“I will never go to the forest without a guide. I never want an experience like that again,” said Bob.

2 . Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident(自信的) when you are studying. But unluckily most students don’t know how to take notes.

★Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on (关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may say something important again and again.

★Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat(重复) what you miss. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.

★Compare. Comparing your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.

★Organize. Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject(主题) in one notebook so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.

★Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy(重抄写) your notes every evening, you’ll surely have less time to watch TV. But you’ll save time in the coming test.
