12、 to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed out. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didnt, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using hi
13、s skis, Gavin built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Gavin was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldnt
14、 lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Gavin did the only thing he could - he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.The next day, Gavin went out to look for help, but he couldnt find anyone.

19、 survivalCTraditionally, across the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more
20、likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to (和相符) the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when

25、ys would feel that they had to be“masterful and in charge”in relationships.“In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,”the study reported.8The author believes that a single-sex school would _.A. force boys to hide their e
