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”？

| A．Swinging your arm from side to side means“yes”. |

Last year I travelled to Paris by plane. I was very excited because I knew I would meet a lot of interesting people and see some amazing things there. On the night before I left, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep at all. When I sat on the plane the next day, I felt very tired. I wanted to have a good sleep during the 9-hour flight. Unluckily, there was a baby sitting next to me. It cried and screamed during the whole trip. How could I fall asleep with all of that noise?
When I arrived in Paris at last, it was already 8 o’clock in the evening. I felt even more tired. After getting off the plane, I went to my hotel at once. I paid no attention to the beautiful evening scenery of Paris. I just wanted to have a good rest in my room. When I lay down on the comfortable bed, I fell asleep very quickly.
A sudden noise woke me up at midnight. I didn’t know what happened, so I turned on the light. What did I see? You wouldn’t believe it! I saw two mice playing on the floor!
