Dereck Joubert and his wife ,Beverly, have made many films about wild animals in Africa. Their films and photographs are very popular and one of the photographs has been on the front cover of a National Geographic magazine.
A working day for Dereck and Beverly starts very early—at 4:30 in the morning ! That’s when they get up and start filming.And it’s a long day—they often work until 8:30 in the evening .In the winter it’s very cold and in the summer it can be 40℃.Dereck always does the filming—Beverly never does that, and she doesn’t write. But Dereck never takes photographs or records the sound. They work very well as a team, and they both believe we should shoot animals with cameras—not with funs!
When they have finished filming and taking photographs for the day, they have dinner and Dereck usually writes while Beverly looks at her photographs. At night they usually sleep in a small tent, but they sometimes sleep in the Land Cruiser—when you’re very close to wild animals, it’s sometimes safer to sleep in the car!
Dereck and Beverly have also travelled around the world and given talks about their work. Dereck says that the animals are not just something to look at—they play an important role. Beverly thinks the wild animals can teach us a lot about ourselves.
Dereck and Beverly start working

Dereck and Beverly usually sleep           at night.

Beverly thinks the wild animals

What do you do if you’re stranded （处于困境的）on a lonely island？Surely you need to find a way to get  in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of Body signals（信号）.
Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave  your arms up and down in a straight line，it means “yes”. When you point downwards and swing your arm from  side to side ，it means“no”. If you want the pilot to know that it’s safe to land，push your hands out in front of  you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that it’s not safe to land ，put your arms in the air and move  them to one side.
Smoke signals
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away ，so it’s a good way to draw attention .If  the weather is dry，it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of  control. Never  light a fire unless you’re sure that it can’t spread .If the ground is dark，light smoke can be seen more  easily .Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
Ground-to-air signals
It’s a good idea to build some signals，too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols（标记）.If you can’t find any wood，use earth. Some useful symbols are：
F  “I need food and water”.
II  “I need medicine”.
I  “I am badly hurt”.
X  “I am unable to move from here.”
Pilots’ replies
If the pilot lowers the plane’s wings from side to side ，this means“message received and understood”（At  night，the pilot flashes the plane’s green lights.）If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle ，this means“message  received but not understood”.（At  night ，the pilot flashes the plane’s red lights.）
However，there is no signal which means “message not received”. Why not？
Which picture means“it’s not safe to land”？

What can we learn from the passage？

What is the passage mainly about？

My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, WE USED 2go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3 :-@ KIDS FTF. ILNY, its gr8.
Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the “translation” of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it’s great.
School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破坏) the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的).
Everyone should just relax, say linguists(语言学家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. “People get better at writing by writing,” he says. “Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.”
Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today’s teenagers become tomorrow’s parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become “corrupted”; they simply change to meet the new needs.
However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it’s important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future.”
Perhaps, we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, “I wouldn’t use text language in my homework. Text is just for fun.”

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

The expression “bet your bottom dollar” in paragrap5 means______________.
