Teenager Jake Deham was skiing with his family in the USA when he fell over and lost one of his skis. His family didn’t know that he had a problem. They kept on skiing. When they got to the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of Jake.

Jake couldn’t find his ski anywhere. In the end, he decided to take off his other ski and walk down the mountain. But he couldn’t work out the right way to go.

It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety. He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures. But Jake kept calm. At home, Jake watched a lot of programs about living in difficult situations. He remembered the advice from these programs and knew that he should build a hole in the snow. He made a hole and pointed it up the hill so the wind couldn’t blow into it. Outside his hole, the temperature fell to a dangerous-15℃ that night, but inside it Jake was safe from the cold.

But he had to get down the mountain. The TV programs always said, “If you are lost, you should find someone else’s tracks (足迹) through the snow and follow them.” “I wanted to live my life.” remembers Jake. “So I got up and I found some ski tracks and I followed those.” He walked and walked and finally he saw lights. Nine hours after he lost his ski, he found a team of worker who-came to save him. He was safe!

His mum was very happy when she heard the news. Amazingly, Jake didn’t even have to go to hospital. He got through the terrible experience without any injuries.

So, the next time someone says that watching TV is a waste of time, think of Jake. Sometimes TV can save your life!

Hi Abby,

How are you? I’m sorry I haven’t been in touch for a while. How’s the tennis going? I remember you had a big tournament in April. How did it go?

I’ve been studying hard for my exams and, to be honest, I’m getting pretty stressed out about the results. Felix advised me to do something different so that I could relax and forget about everything, so I’ve taken up rock climbing! I’m not very sporty, but surprisingly, I’ve been enjoying it and it has helped me take my mind off things.

By the way, Felix says hello. Sadly, he can’t go to the lakes with us. You are coming back to the lakes again with your parents, aren’t you?

Write soon!

Take care,

Simon

**********************************************************************

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your letter. I’m really sorry that you’re so worried about your exams, but rock climbing sounds great. I’d love to try it myself one day.

Guess what! I’ve decided to give up competitive tennis! I’ve realized that I don’t want to make it my whole life; there are too many other things I want to do. I thought my parents would be disappointed in me. But luckily, they supported my decision. I think my dad is relieved that he no longer has to wake up at 5 a.m. in order to drive me to tennis practice or to tournaments around the country!

In answer to your question, of course we’re coming to the lakes this year, but it’s a shame I won’t see Felix.

Love,

Abby

D．her dad has no time to drive her to competitions

14．Which of the following words can best describe Abby’s parents?
