3 . Last week when I was reading at home, my younger sister rushed in and told me an old man was lying on the ground in front of our house. I immediately took my first- aid kit and ran downstairs. He was suffering a slight heart attack. And I performed CPR on him. Luckily, an ambulance came soon and he was taken to the hospital. Later that day I was told by the hospital what I did helped rescue the old man’s life. I was happy to hear that.

7 . One Monday afternoon in April, 45-year-old Rene Compean set out for a hike in Angeles National Forest in Southern California.
Rene parked his car near the Buckhorn Campground and headed up a trail in the Mt. Waterman area. Later, he texted a picture of setting foot on a rock to a friend, and the unclear image ended up saving his life!
A few hours into the hike, Rene took a wrong turn because a path marker was missing due to recent forest fires. He realized he was lost and texted his friend for help, explaining that he had no idea where he was and his phone was about to die. Unfortunately, he didn’t have location services on his mobile phone, so search and rescue teams couldn’t find him using GPS.
Rene was reported missing around 6 p.m. Temperatures dropped rapidly in the mountains, and rescuers searched through the night with no success.
When they set out in search of Rene the next morning, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office posted Rene’s picture to their social media pages, asking the public to help them identify the area.
Thankfully, the photo made its way to satellite mapping enthusiast Benjamin Kuo. As luck would have it, Ben has “a very strange hobby” that came into use in this situation. “I love taking a look at photos and figuring out where they’re taken,” Ben explained.
He studied the area below Rene’s legs for clues and came up with coordinates (坐标) for where he thought the hiker was. He then provided the details to the Sheriff’s Office. Thankfully, Ben’s coordinates had exactly pointed out his location! Believe it or not, officials found the hiker within three-quarters of a mile of the GPS coordinates Ben sent them. A helicopter was sent to the site, and there was Rene, tired out and cold from his night outside but otherwise unharmed.

8 . How to Stay Safe on a Field Trip
Many parents are relaxed and even want their children to go on field trips.
Stay physically safe
It’s crucial to ensure that students memorize their parents’ phone numbers and keep them handy in case of an emergency. When crossing roads, they must practice road safety by looking both ways and walking with caution.
Keep hygiene (卫生) while dining out
Students should be mindful of their food choices and avoid having too much unhealthy food, especially when away from home. It’s essential to tell their teacher and bring allergen-free snacks if they have food allergies.
When using public restrooms on their field trips, students should use disposable seat covers or toilet paper to reduce exposure to bacteria. Practicing good restroom hygiene is also important to minimize the risk of spreading illness to others. They can also wear a mask to stay furthest away from sickness, and inform a teacher to receive proper assistance if they feel unwell.

B.Use public restrooms properly. |
C.Others may be concerned about the safety on the trips, though. |
D.It’s important to follow safety manners to ensure a smooth outing. |
