【课文】

When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow lay thick on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away. When it grew dark, she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it, covering them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early next morning, she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal. Then she had an idea. She stamped out the letters‘SOS’in the snow. Fortunately, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.

不久前，一架轻型客机偏离航线，坠毁在山中，飞行员丧生。机上唯一的乘客是一位年轻女子和她两个尚在襁褓中的女儿，她们却毫发无损。当时正值隆冬，地面积雪很厚。女子知道最近的村庄远在数英里之外。天色渐暗时，她把一只行李箱当作床，让孩子们躺在里面，用能找到的所有衣服把她们盖起来。夜里，天气变得异常寒冷。女子尽可能紧挨着孩子们，甚至试图自己也挤进箱子里，但箱子太小了。第二天清晨，她听到飞机从头顶飞过，心想怎样才能发出求救信号。这时，她想到了一个办法。她在雪地上踩出了“SOS”的字样。幸运的是，一名飞行员看到了这个信号，并通过无线电向最近的城镇发送了信息。不久之后，一架直升机赶到现场，救出了这场空难的幸存者。
