It seemed like any other day when Chantelle Lister set off to work at 7 a.m. It was the school holidays, so her 【小题1】 （daughter） Loren and Mollie, 17 and six, and 11-year-old son Charlie were sleeping in bed.
But within an hour, the family home in England caught fire. The fire started in the kitchen 【小题2】 smoke started filling the ground floor while the children slept.
【小题3】 (thankful), the family’s dog Bailey rushed to their rescue. Despite the thick smoke, the four-year-old dog made 【小题4】 (he) way upstairs and kept barking and scratching (挠) at Loren’s door until she woke up.
【小题5】 (struggle) to breathe, the teenager ran into other rooms. And she managed to get the 【小题6】 (frighten) children out through a bedroom window and onto a flat roof.
After successfully raising the alarm, Bailey went downstairs to try to get out. But he
【小题7】 (catch) in the fire.
“The firemen pulled Bailey out and tried to save him, but he was dead,” Chantelle says. “They put【小题8】 blanket over him and I kept thinking, ‘That could 【小题9】 (be) one of my children.’ Bailey was so loving. The children wouldn’t be here【小题10】 him. He’s my hero and I will be grateful to him forever.”

Do you have what it takes to survive in the desert in the event of an accident or emergency? If you're thinking of traveling in the desert, you may consider studying up to learn some desert survival skills before you go. But you don't have to be a survival expert to stay alive in the desert, as long as you can keep some important tips in mind.
Keep your head covered. It's been said that the biggest dangers in desert survival are exposure and dehydration (脱水). 【小题1】 One of the best defenses against the sun is always having a big hat or other coverings for your head with you. If the top of your head is exposed to the direct sun, or even indirect sun for long periods, your body needs to work hard to keep itself cool. 【小题2】
Cover the rest of your body as well. 【小题3】 Finding shade or constructing a shade shelter is one of the first ways for desert survival, as keeping out of the direct sun and not exposing yourself to the heat of the day will help to save water. The general idea is to stay out of the dehydrating rays of the sun during the day, and to travel during the cooler hours of the morning or evening.
【小题4】 Actually, do drink the water, if you have it. Just don't run out of it all at the first sign of thirst. A better way is to ration (定量供应) it for yourself, taking smaller sips throughout the day. If you do come across water in the desert, use extreme caution before you start drinking it down － it may not be safe for drinking.
【小题5】 The more you eat, the thirstier you'll get, so if you have food with you, take care to only nibble(小口吃) enough to keep the hunger pains away and your energy up. Your body can survive much longer without food than it can without water.

A．Stay hungry.

B．Don't drink the water.

C．Drink as much water as possible.

D．Neither of these is to be taken lightly.

E. This goes hand in hand with the first tip.
F. So the first rule in desert travel is covering the head up.
G. And the last thing you want to do is increase your thirst.

LAS VEGAS — It was different in the light of day.
There was no ‘pop, pop, pop’ of gunfire, no screams. Just a quiet lot of cars abandoned by those, like Kassidy Owen, who escaped with their lives.
“It’s strange to hear the silence,” Owen said, “because all I remember was the noise.”
The 22-year-old was one of dozens of concertgoers who returned to the scene of the Route 91 Harvest festival on Wednesday morning to fetch the vehicles they left behind as they fled from a gunman raining down bullets from high above in the tower of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino across the street.
Survivors of the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday needed their cars to move on with their lives — to get back to work, to school, home. It was the first time they were returning to a scene that would forever change them, when joy and celebration and music turned into killing and horror.
Before they could move forward, they had to go back to the place where they thought they were going to die.
Owen had run to her car to hide and had tried to drive away, but she couldn’t. People were running, bodies dropped to the ground, and cars bottlenecked in the parking lot. During a brief pause after more than 10 minutes of gunfire, she worried the lights of her SUV made everyone inside a shining target.
“They’re shooting again!” her best friend’s brother screamed. “‘Turn off the car!’”
That’s when she got out and fled.
“I just remember shutting the door and running,” Owen said.
Now, nearly three days later, she was back, sitting in the driver’s seat of her SUV. Her eyes were swollen and red. This was a long way from over.
“You just keep hearing the gunshots in your head,” Owen said.
