Skeletal remains(骨骼遗骸)discovered this week arc believed to be those of Geraldine Largay, an Appalachian Trail hiker missing since July 22, 2014, the Maine Wardens Service said.
I've been thinking a lot about the story in the news of a woman who got lost while hiking the Appalachian Trail. She died after 26 days in her sleeping bag in her tent. Despite(尽管)a wide search by Maine officers, the woman, Geraldine Largay, was not found for two years. Her body was finally found at her campsite just 2 miles from the trail.
How could that happen? New details(细节)are coming out. Clearly, Largay had a terrible sense of direction. Her cellphone couldn't get a signal. Instead of continuing to hike she stayed put. For 26 days she wrote in a journal until she died quietly of hunger.
But to Robert Moor, author of the book On Trails: An Exploration, her story means something different: More of us need to experience trails and hike at a young age, including developing skills in finding our way back to the trail if we get lost.
Trails, Moor says, are made by lowly fire ants and great elephants, by cows and sheep, by humans, but all for this purpose—to lead others somewhere—to food, water, home, or over the mountain.
If one gets lost, according to the U.S. Forest Service, one should stop, then make a plan. Try to find a trail because it is sure to lead somewhere. People do not actually walk in circles when lost, although this is a common belief, Moor says. They more often travel about in squiggly lines, not straight lines, sometimes bending back across a place they already crossed.
25.The direct reason for Largay's death was________.
A.loneliness
B.hunger
C.coldness
D.illness
26.Which of the following statements may Moor agree with?
A.Nature is dangerous and frightening.
B.We'd better stay at home and not take risks.
C.It's necessary for one to hike at a young age.
D.Only experienced hikers need to explore trails.
27.When people get lost, they often walk about________.
A.in circles
B.in squiggly lines
C.in squares
D.in straight lines
