In any major Indian city, people are seen with an arm outstretched, mobile phone in hand,     1     (smile) widely and clicking away. Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi is said     2     (love) the selfie (自拍), posting pictures online that he has taken with     3     (variety) world leaders.

But the pursuit of selfie can sometimes have deadly consequences. India is home to     4     highest number of people who have died while taking photos of     5     (they), with 19 of the world’s 49 recorded selfie-linked deaths since 2014.

    6    (early) this month, an 18-year-old college student on a class picnic lost his balance while taking a selfie on top of a rock near a dam. He fell into the water and drowned, along with a classmate     7     jumped in to save him.

Since then, the Indian government     8     (declare) 16 no-selfie zones across Mumbai, warning people    9    taking unnecessary risks. Police have declared “no selfie” in areas considered to be    10    (risk)—particularly along the coastline in spots with no railings or fences.

Last Saturday our class went hiking in a countryside. We meet at our school gate and set off at 8:00 am. On the way, we were singing and laughing happily while a girl suddenly fell into a deep hole.She felt so frightening and even burst into tears. One of my classmate found a long rope and we got him out. Fortunately, she didn’t suffer seriously injuries, but it seemed that her ankle slightly twisted. We managed to sending her to the nearest hospital. It is an experience we’ll never forget it, though we didn’t enjoy ourselves very much that day.

4 . “Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill.”

It might sound like something straight out of a horror movie, but for 38 minutes terrified Hawaiian residents thought the world was going to end.

On Saturday, locals and tourists on the small island woke up to a message that many have feared amid North Korea’s development of a nuclear weapon.

Panicked residents gathered family members, ran out onto the streets and anxiously sought shelter as they awaited the attack. Cars were abandoned on highways and people who were outside at the time hid in the basements of neighbours as others prepared to flee.

Stacey Bow, 56, of Honolulu was awakened to the emergency alert(警报) on her smart phone and woke up her 16- year- old daughter, who became hysterical, crying. Cherese Carlson, said the moments following the alert were filled with fear. “I had no friends here to turn to for help,”she said. “There was nothing I could do but sit in my car worried that it was the end of my life.”

Others thought that it was a hoax or a false alarm, since the sirens(报警汽笛) did not ring out. “I thought to myself, it must be someone’s last day at work or someone got extremely upset at a superior and basically did this as a joke,” said Brian Naeole, who was visiting Honolulu from Molokai, adding that he didn’t hear sirens and neither TV nor radio stations issued alerts.

It turned out that the incident was caused by a worker who pressed the wrong button. A revised alert informing people of the “false alarm” did not reach mobile phones until about 40 minutes after the first warning was sent. Hawaii’s Emergency Management Agency administrator Vern Miyagi said, “there was no automated way to send a false alarm cancellation. We had to initiate a manual process. And that was why it took a while to inform everyone”. He apologised for the false alarm.
