1、东城D When we found Tony, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were dirty. There was blood all over his arm. Before we reached him we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked a few yards with difficulty through the woods and fell again. When we lifted him off the ground,
2、he tried to break away and run, like a wild animal.After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His footprints showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so weak by fear that he did not hear the cars going by or
3、 see the lights at night. He was very tired. We found him just in time. This man, like others before him, was full of fear when he knew he was lost. Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, its still largely a question of watching out. An experienced woodsman always keeps an eye on the thing
4、s around him. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction that water flows through the mountain, and everything along with him when he travelshow a tree leans across it and how a rock stands. He sees the way and the general flows of water. With these in mind, he may be turned around many times,
5、but his way is seldom lost.There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does get into some strange difficulty that puts him into the “lost” column. A rainstorm may catch him without a compass to show him the direction. Darkness may find him in a very hard situation, where travel is dan
6、gerous without a light.When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of difficulty as a result of this poor woodsmanship. He may also worry about the trouble that he will cause his friends when he doesnt show up. If he is short of experience, he may keep on the move in an effort to find t
7、he camp against all bad happenings. And the result is that he might walk in circles or in the wrong direction and in the end beat himself out physically and mentallyhe will be found mad and crazy.来源:学科网57.

10、n late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United states, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the dividing li
11、nes are still there, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal（法律的）limits, or
12、 whether it should become more changeable, is often debated（争论）. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the dividing lines of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other? These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of
13、 the difficulty is that we seldom recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to go to school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years but unless we meet the truant officer（学监）, we may well think that we should
14、 go to school because of social custom and parents requirement rather than to the law. As adults we know “extra pay for overtime working” very well, but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes（构成）“overtime” is a matter of legal thing. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight saving
15、 time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.56. What does the underlined word “irrelevant” probably mean?A. Impossible. B. Unacceptable. C. Unimportant.
