• 3．    ON TUESDAY，the Shenzhen team of Blue Sky Rescue，confirmed （确认） that two of its members had died trying to rescue 24 tourists.
      According to the official news，it was on Monday that the rescue team received a call from 24 travelers，who were trapped，in a river valley.
      The team responded immediately.However，when they helped the travelers，two team members got trapped by the rising river water.The next day，they were confirmed dead.
      Who can rescue the rescuers？The question aroused a heated discussion among people.Most of them think we would rather such "heroic deeds" were not required.In the past several years，there have been many cases in which travelers，ignoring the signs saying certain areas are dangerous and off-limits （禁止进入的），ended up needing to be rescued.By so doing，they put not only their own lives at risk but also the lives of those who go to their aid.
      Although the majority of travelers behave properly，some attempt challenging tasks that are obviously beyond their abilities.

  " With a workout partner，you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle（微妙）competition.

     My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park.Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do，how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session，and her age.It also listed her favorite sports and activities，and provided her phone number.（4）

  
     You and your partner will probably have different skills.（5）

  Over time，both of you will benefit - your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit.The core（核心）of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.
  
  A.Your first meeting may be a little awkward.
  B.A workout partner usually needs to live close by.
  C.You'll work harder if you train with someone else.
  D.Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport？
  E.How can you write a good "seeking training partner" notice？
