Lesson 11 You Have to Get Me Out of Here

I. Warm-up

A. Mountaineer's Essentials

? AT LEAST ONE COMPLETE CHANGE OF CLOTHING including extra

for such contingencies as rain & cold weather.

? EXTRA FOOD. Include extra rations in your minimum. This is your insurance

policy in case something goes really wrong.

? SUNGLASSES. Every time you set out for a strange area it's good to have a pair

along.If you are planning on desert, alpine or winter camping, it's a rare occasion that you will not need them. Even Eskimos worry about snow blindness.

? A KNIFE. A substantial pocket-knife is the order of the day. A good Swiss army

knife is excellent or a Buck for bigger job.

? FIRE STARTERS; jelly, ribbon, tablets or impregnated peat bricks. There are

emergencies where a fire is both necessary and difficult to start. Every kit MUST include a supply of starters of one kind or another.

? EMERGENCY MATCHES. Fire starters alone don't a fire make. You need

matches. Long wooden ones are best & soaked in wax to make them weather proof and keep them in a waterproof container. ? A FIRST AID KIT.

? A FLASHLIGHT. Everyone should carry his own and add extra batteries &

bulbs just in case.

? MAPS. You should have a map when going to all but the most familiar places.

It's not only a safety factor but can add a lot of enjoyment to your trip, helping you to find the best spots and sights.

? A GOOD QUALITY COMPASS even two might help in case the first one goes

berserk.

? A SPACE BLANKET. Today it's an invaluable safety precaution. Weighing

only 2 ounces it opens up to a full 56\

It reflects up to 90% of a sleeper's body heat while at the same time keeping out rain, rain and snow.

B. What Causes Altitude Illnesses? ? At sea level:

The concentration of oxygen: about 21%

The barometric pressure: averages 760 mmHg.

? As altitude increases, the concentration remains the same but the number of

oxygen molecules per breath is reduced.

? At 12,000 feet (3,658 meters) the barometric pressure is only 483 mmHg, so there

are roughly 40% fewer oxygen molecules per breath.

C. How to prevent Altitude Illnesses?

? If possible, don't fly or drive to high altitude. Start below 10,000 feet (3,048

meters) and walk up.

? If you do fly or drive, do not over-exert yourself or move higher for the first 24

hours.

? If you go above 10,000 feet (3,048 meters), only increase your altitude by 1,000

feet (305 meters) per day and for every 3,000 feet (915 meters) of elevation gained, take a rest day.

? Eat a high carbohydrate diet (more than 70% of your calories from carbohydrates)

while at altitude.

? The acclimatization process is inhibited by dehydration（脱水）, over-exertion? ? ? ?

（用力过度）, and alcohol and other depressant drugs（镇静药物）.

\more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) in a day as long as you come back down and sleep at a lower altitude.

If you begin to show symptoms of moderate altitude illness, don't go higher until symptoms decrease

If symptoms increase, go down, down, down!

Keep in mind that different people will acclimatize at different rates. Make sure all of your party is properly acclimatized before going higher.

II. New words

? Get familiar with the new words and expressions in Glossary. Pay attention to the

pronunciation and special usage.

? Text Analysis Questions:

1) Katie… had taken time off from her work to come her. (para.2) Was Katie a professional rock climber?

2) Ric had heard Katie was a strong and disciplined climber….（para.2） Explain the word “disciplined”.

3) When they arrived… the group discussed plans for a climb up Ophir wall, a notoriously cliff. (para.3)

What was “Ophir wall”,? Why did they choose this?

4) Its sheer granite face juts up hundreds of feet, with only a few handholds to bear a climber’s weight.. (para. 3) Paraphrase the sentence.

5) Sitting cross0legged and sheltered by the cliff, she was unaware of the 54-mph. gusts sweeping over the top of the wall. (para.5) Paraphrase the sentence.

6) Rocks the size of trash cnas were crashing down the cliff and exploding around her. (para.6) Paraphrase the sentence.

III. Text analysis Questions

1) …he tried to ignore the gruesome vision of Katie’s leg, … choked back the nausea. (Para. 18)

Paraphrase the sentence.

2) His heart was racing, and breath came in painful gasps from the altitude. (para.20)

Paraphrase the sentence.

3) As they sped down the road, bumps sent lightning bolts of pain through Katie’s body. (para.21) Paraphrase the sentence.

4) Katie would have to wear a metal frame resembling a leg brace. (Para. 34)

Explain “metal frame resembling a leg brace”.

5) Katie held in her emotions for three weeks after the accident. T hen it hit her. (Para. 36)

Explain “it hit her”. What “hit her”?

IV. Writing skills

A. Type of writing

Narration. It is powerful in convincing readers of what you say. B. Action verbs

The writer uses a large number of action verbs in describing what happened. For example:

bump, land, leap to one’s feet, struggle down the trail, stagger, speed down the road, pound on the door, etc.

More exercise on action verbs (read the paragraph with action verbs)

Shortly before 9 a.m., American Airlines' Flight 11 from Boston, hijacked by suspects with knives, slammed into one trade center tower. Eighteen minutes later, a second hijacked jet crashed into the other tower. By midmorning, the south tower had

exploded and collapsed , raining debris and sending choking dust and smoke across lower Manhattan. Within half an hour, the second tower caved in. As that scene unfolded, a third hijacked jet crashed into the Pentagon. The side of the building caved in, with secondary explosions bursting in the aftermath and huge billows of smoke rising over the Potomac River.

Fill in the blanks with proper action verbs

The crashes _______ a placid, clear morning in New York and Washington. By early afternoon, fighter jets were _______ Manhattan. With cellphones not working, people _______ pay phones and ______ around radios. On the street, people ______ up at the gaping, smoking hole in the building, some ______ handkerchiefs over their mouths. And the trade center towers had disappeared from the skyline.
