3 Warm-up I. Dangerous Sports Dangerous Sports II. Emergencies & First Aid ProceduresEmergencies & First Aid Procedures III. Do You Know? Do You Know?

4 I.Dangerous Sports skydiving, scuba diving, potholing parachuting bungee jumping

5  Are they the sports for you?  Are they dangerous?  Why are there still a lot of people trying them?  What are they good for?  If you bungee jump once, would you like to try it again? I.Dangerous Sports

6 III.Do You Know? Work in groups. List the dos and don’ts. First aid: if one’s leg is broken Dos Don’ts

7 III.Do You Know? First aid: if a big artery becomes open Discuss in groups. Dos Don’ts

8 Mountaineer's Essentials 1) AT LEAST ONE COMPLETE CHANGE OF CLOTHING including extra for such contingencies as rain & cold weather. 2) EXTRA FOOD. Include extra rations in your minimum. This is your insurance policy in case something goes really wrong.

9 3) SUNGLASSES. Every time you set out for a strange area it's good to have a pair along. If you are planning on desert, alpine or winter camping, it's a rare occasion that you will not need them. Even Eskimos worry about snow blindness. 4) A KNIFE. A substantial pocket-knife is the order of the day. No need for Bowie knife and the big sheath knife for those who are out to tackle bears with bare hands. A good Swiss army knife is excellent or a Buck for bigger job.

10 5) FIRE STARTERS; jelly, ribbon, tablets or impregnated peat bricks. There are emergencies where a fire is both necessary and difficult to start. Every kit MUST include a supply of starters of one kind or another. 6) EMERGENCY MATCHES. Fire starters alone don't a fire make. You need matches. Long wooden ones are best & soaked in wax to make them weather proof and keep them in a waterproof container. background

11 7) A FIRST AID KIT. See the proper chapter on how to build one. 8) A FLASHLIGHT. Everyone should carry his own and add extra batteries & bulbs just in case. 9) MAPS. You should have a map when going to all but the most familiar places. It's not only a safety factor but can add a lot of enjoyment to your trip, helping you to find the best spots and sights. 10) A GOOD QUALITY COMPASS even two might help in case the first one goes berserk.

12 11) A SPACE BLANKET. It did not exist in the first writing up of this list. Today it's an invaluable safety precaution. Weighing only 2 ounces it opens up to a full 56"X84". It reflects up to 90% of a sleeper's body heat while at the same time keeping out rain, rain and snow. Not to be used as camping blanket but ESSENTIAL as emergency gear for all kinds of use including signalization background

13 What is High Altitude? Altitude is defined on the following scale High (8,000 - 12,000 feet [2,438 - 3,658 meters]), Very High (12,000 - 18,000 feet [3,658 - 5,487 meters]), and Extremely High (18,000+ feet [5,500+ meters]). background

14 What Causes Altitude Illnesses? At sea level: – The concentration of oxygen: about 21% – the barometric pressure: averages 760 mmHg. As altitude increases, the concentration remains the same but the number of oxygen molecules per breath is reduced. At 12,000 feet (3,658 meters) the barometric pressure is only 483 mmHg, so there are roughly 40% fewer oxygen molecules per breath. background

15 In order to properly oxygenate the body, your breathing rate (even while at rest) has to increase. This extra ventilation increases the oxygen content in the blood, but not to sea level concentrations background

16 Acclimatization The major cause of altitude illnesses is going too high too fast. Given time, your body can adapt to the decrease in oxygen molecules at a specific altitude. This process is known as acclimatization and generally takes 1-3 days at that altitude. – The depth of respiration increases. – Pressure in pulmonary arteries is increased, "forcing" blood into portions of the lung which are normally not used during sea level breathing. – The body produces more red blood cells to carry oxygen, – The body produces more of a particular enzyme that facilitates – the release of oxygen from hemoglobin to the body tissues. background

17 How to prevent Altitude Illnesses? If possible, don't fly or drive to high altitude. Start below 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) and walk up. If you do fly or drive, do not over-exert yourself or move higher for the first 24 hours. If you go above 10,000 feet (3,048 meters), only increase your altitude by 1,000 feet (305 meters) per day and for every 3,000 feet (915 meters) of elevation gained, take a rest day. Eat a high carbohydrate diet (more than 70% of your calories from carbohydrates) while at altitude. The acclimatization process is inhibited by dehydration, over- exertion, and alcohol and other depressant drugs. background

18 "Climb High and sleep low." This is the maxim used by climbers. You can climb more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) in a day as long as you come back down and sleep at a lower altitude. If you begin to show symptoms of moderate altitude illness, don't go higher until symptoms decrease (“Don't go up until symptoms go down"). If symptoms increase, go down, down, down! Keep in mind that different people will acclimatize at different rates. Make sure all of your party is properly acclimatized before going higher. background

19 Stay properly hydrated. Acclimatization is often accompanied by fluid loss, so you need to drink lots of fluids to remain properly hydrated (at least 3-4 quarts per day). Urine output should be copious and clear. Take it easy; don't over-exert yourself when you first get up to altitude. Light activity during the day is better than sleeping because respiration decreases during sleep, exacerbating the symptoms. Avoid tobacco and alcohol and other depressant drugs including, barbiturates, tranquilizers, and sleeping pills. These depressants further decrease the respiratory drive during sleep resulting in a worsening of the symptoms. background

20 What is hypothermia? Hypothermia causes a widespread decrease in the body’s core temperature which impairs intellectual, muscular and cardiac functions.In mountaineers and walkers it can strike two sets of people. – those who are experienced and have suitable equipment who are caught out by bad weather at high altitude – those people who venture onto the hills ill- equipped to cope with the changeable conditions. background

21 What if falling into a crevasse? On Denali there is an ever-present danger of falling into a crevasse, so climbers should never travel unroped. When a climber falls into a crevasse his/her partners must immediately move into self-arrest positions to prevent the climber from falling any deeper into the crevasse. background

22 While the rescuer farthest from the fallen climber remains in self-arrest, the rescuer closer by immediately sets up an anchor on the rope. This is done by hammering a picket or deadman into the snow. (An ice axe won't work.) The rescuer then attaches a sling to the rope with a tension knot, and the sling is attached to the anchor via a locking carabiner. background

23 The knot should then be slid down the rope toward the fallen climber so as to take up tension on the rope. Meanwhile, the end rescuer can ease the load off him/herself. For safety reasons, a second backup anchor should be placed and attached to the carabiner on the end of the knot. When the rope is secured the rescuers should assess the condition of the fallen climber. If the climber is uninjured, he/she can then begin to climb out of the crevasse under his/her own power, using jumar ascenders or tension knots. background

24 Can A GPS Replace a Compass? A compass and a satellite-based Global Positioning System receiver are complementary tools. A compass does one thing a GPS unit cannot–point toward magnetic north. GPS units equipped with an electronic compass are gradually coming to market. Still, GPS receivers are battery-powered devices that potentially could run out of power. A compass, relying solely on the earth's magnetic forces, has no such limitations. Thus, even if you own a GPS unit, you will always want to carry a compass as well.

25 GPS receivers are splendid devices. They are designed to measure direction of movement by calculating the difference between your current position and last position. They can also tell you your position without relying on visible landmarks for bearings, which is necessary for a compass must. On days of snow or heavy fog, that's a big plus. background

26 Another GPS advantage: When following a bearing via compass, obstructions sometime cause you to stray from your ideal line of travel. This requires you to keep careful track of any deviations you take from your bearing, to the point of counting the paces you take while sidestepping the obstacle. Once past the obstacle you might need to adjust your compass bearing, but key landmarks may no longer be in view. With a GPS unit, however, you can easily obtain a new bearing and reset your compass with a revised line of travel. Bottom line: When you want to know which direction you are facing–an important piece of knowledge–you must have a compass. background

75 Words to differ

76 P297 missing, lost missing: applied only to concrete things, simply suggests being not in the proper or expected place E.g. The police is often requested to find ~ persons. His watch is ~. It may be lost, or left somewhere at home. I noticed he had a finger missing from his left hand.

81 Further Understanding

82 Question: Which type of writing does the text fall into, description, narration, exposition or argumentation? Narration. In recounting the accident and rescue, the writer shows what kind of person Katie is, and conveys a central point and shares with the reader her view of what happened.

83 Question: What is the context of the story? (When, where and to whom does the story happen?) For what does the writer make it quite clear at the beginning of the story? It was May 27, 1989. Rock climbers Katie and with Ric were climbing Ophir Wall. The context is made clear at the beginning of the story so that the reader can better understand the whole narrative.

84 Question: Why does not the writer provide us with more details about what took place before 2:30 that afternoon? These details are not relevant enough to the purpose of the narrative. When selecting details, writers usually only use relevant and effective details, or things that contribute to bringing out the main idea of the narrative.

85 Question: From whose point of view is the story told? From a third person’s view. A third-person narrative may seem more objective and have a broad narrative scope. By comparison, a first-person narrative may be more graphic and lifelike, but the scope of the narrative may be limited.

86 Question: What made it possible for Katie to save not only her life but also her almost severed leg? Katie’s presence of mind plus her knowledge of self-rescue and critical care played the most important role.

87 Question: What was Katie’s motto? How do you understand it? Her motto was “Face the fear, know what you have to do and do it”. This means that whatever happens we must remain calm and should not panic. Only in this way are we able to make the fullest use of whatever knowledge we have of survival.

88 Is rock climbing an exciting sport? Is it risky? What kind of accident can happen? What kind of a person was Katie? What was she doing when the accident took place? What injury happened to her? How did she direct her own rescue? Why was the doctor surprised to find her lower leg warm? What kind of a person do you think Ric was? What made they two come together? Further Discussion About the Text

89 Narration To narrate is to give an account of an event or a series of events. In its broadest sense, narrative writing includes stories, real or imaginary, biographies, histories, news items, and narrative poems. Narration often goes hand in hand with description.

90 When planning a narrative, the writer should consider these five aspects:  context  selection of details  organization  point of view  purpose Narration

91 Description: painting a picture in words of a person, place, object, or scene. Exposition: expounding or explaining. Argumentation: convincing other people to agree with the writer’s point of view, to approve a policy or a course of action that he proposes, or to do something that he wants to be done. Other types of writing
