Through One Direction (1D. remains extremely popular, it seems their name may no longer be correct.

Before the band started, its name already fit its members well. All five-Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn-were competing in 2010’s season of The X Factor. All five were also cut from the TV talent show before reaching the finals. However, the program’s judges decided to group the five together. The band took only third place but was immediately offered around a 2 million pound record deal.

One Direction did not perform like second runner-ups, but like champion. Their first single “What Makes You beautiful” topped U. K. charts in 2011. UP All Night”, their first album, was a bestseller in both Great Britain and the United States. They sold out their first tour in minutes and developed their products lines. By 2012, they were performing at the London Olympics.

One Directions success continued through four albums in only three years. But trouble began when the band returned to the road in 2015. After frequent absences during the tour, Zayn suddenly made his departure from the band. He left to be “a normal 22-Year-old” and live “out of the spotlight”. The band seemed to make a statement with their single “Drag Me Down” that summer. By fall, however, they decided to take a break starting in 2016.

In November 2015, they released “Made in the A M.”, their most recent album. All the boys were pursuing their own projects by the time it went Platinum. Harry is taking part in a film while Louis is enjoying fatherhood. Two plan to enter business-Liam in producing music and hill with a golf agency.

Body signals（信號）

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（彎曲）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, however, 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(標(biāo)記). 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 pilots 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?

Eat Less Meat, Please!

There are many ways to save the Earth. We can use less water, plant more trees, d【1】 less and bike more. Now, some scientists have put forward one more way to avoid dangerous climate change—eat less meat.

Their new research finds farm animals like caws and pigs p【2】 much more greenhouse gases than we thought. W【3】 action, the influence will become far worse as the world population continues to grow. And, as global income rises, more people will afford and eat meat-rich diets.

One of the researchers is Johan Rockstrom. He is a professor from Germany. “Feeding a world population of ten billion is p【4】, but only if we change how we eat,” the scientist said. “Greening food production creating up our planet—this is what is on the menu today.”

A U.N. report also warns that eating less meat and dairy is important. The current trends, however, are in the o【5】 direction. Rockstrom calculated that on average we needed to eat 75 percent less beef, 90 percent less pork and half the number of eggs. Education, taxes and changes to school and workplace menus can help achieve this goal.

In some countries, people have become more aware of the importance of changing their diets. In the Netherlands, young people have been eating less meat. “We know food choices are very personal. That behavior change can be difficult” said Rockstrom. “But the evidence is how clear. We need to change our d【6】 if we want to save our planet.”

The waiters carne in with lit candles and placed them on the tables.

One of the diners asked, “What about our ________?”

“Don’t worry, sir,” replied the manager. “Fortunately, we use gas our kitchen, not electricity, so that the chef can continue cooking all your meals. Once again, ladies and gentlemen, I apologize.”

My father said to me, “Let’s go out the street and ________.”

He and I went out of the front door and looked up and down the street Sure enough, it was in total darkness.

We went back in and sat at the table with my mother. Our faces were lit up by the candlelight. The waiter brought our meals and started eating.
