How to start a fire in the rain using vaseline and cotton wool

Starting a fire is one of the most important survival skills. Fire provides warmth, light and a way to cook food. But starting a fire is not always easy. It is especially difficult when the weather is wet. Rain can make wood damp and matches useless. Fortunately, there is a simple trick that works even in the rain. It uses two common items: vaseline and cotton wool.

The first step is to prepare your tinder. Cotton wool is excellent for this. It is light and fluffy. It catches fire easily. But it burns very quickly. You need to make it burn longer. This is where vaseline comes in. Mix a small amount of vaseline into the cotton wool. The vaseline acts as fuel. It makes the cotton wool burn longer and hotter. The mixture should be soft but not too wet.

The second step is to create a spark. You can use a fire steel or a lighter. A fire steel works even when it is wet. It is more reliable than matches in the rain. Strike the fire steel over the vaseline-cotton mixture. The sparks will ignite the cotton wool. The mixture will burn strongly. It is as effective as any commercial fire starter.

The third step is to add the fuel. Once the tinder is burning, you need to add small twigs and dry leaves. Do not add large logs immediately. They will smother the fire. Add larger pieces of wood gradually. This is as important as the spark itself.

You also need to protect the fire from the rain. Find a sheltered spot. A natural overhang or a rock can provide cover. You can also build a small shelter using branches and leaves. This keeps the rain off the fire. Protect the fire like it is your most precious possession. It is, in a survival situation. This method is simple but effective. It works in the rain, snow and wind. The materials are cheap and easy to carry. Many hikers always carry vaseline and cotton wool in their packs. It is a small item that can save your life.

A. Cotton wool is good for starting a fire because ________.

1. it is cheap 2. it is light and catches fire easily 3. it lasts a long time 4. it can be eaten

B. Vaseline is added to the cotton wool to ________.

1. make it smell better 2. make it burn longer and hotter 3. make it waterproof 4. make it lighter

C. A fire steel is more reliable than matches in the rain because ________.

1. it is cheaper 2. it works even when wet 3. it is easier to use 4. it produces more sparks

D. Once the tinder is burning, you should ________.

1. add large logs immediately 2. add small twigs and dry leaves gradually 3. put the fire out 4. cover it with soil

E. Hikers carry vaseline and cotton wool in their packs because ________.

1. they are comfortable 2. they are small and can save your life 3. they taste good 4. they are easy to find

Thumbs of the century: can constant texting cause arthritis in teenagers as young as 20?

We live in a world where texting has become the primary form of communication for many people. Teenagers especially spend hours every day typing messages on their smartphones. This constant activity uses the thumbs more than any previous generation. Some doctors are now asking an important question: could this lead to arthritis in young people?

Arthritis is a condition that causes pain and inflammation in the joints. It was traditionally seen as a disease of old age. But doctors are now seeing cases in much younger patients. These patients both text constantly and play games on their phones. Either texting or gaming alone might not cause problems, but the combination of both can be harmful.

The human thumb is not designed for repetitive movements. When you type on a phone, you use small muscles and tendons in your thumb and wrist. Over time, this can cause inflammation. The condition is sometimes called 'texting thumb' or 'smartphone thumb. The medical name is tendinitis. It is not arthritis, but it can lead to arthritis if left untreated.

Both children and adults are at risk, but teenagers are especially vulnerable. Their bones and joints are still developing. They also tend to use their phones more than older people. This is why doctors are concerned. They recommend that teenagers should take regular breaks from their phones. They ought to stretch their hands and wrists. They can also use voice-to-text features to reduce typing.

However, not everyone agrees. Some researchers argue that there is not enough evidence to prove that texting causes arthritis. They say that many other factors contribute to arthritis. These include genetics, diet and overall health. Either texting causes arthritis, or it is simply another activity that some people blame for their problems. More research is needed.

Despite the disagreement, most experts agree that moderation is important. You don't have to stop using your phone completely. But you should be aware of how much you use it. You should also pay attention to any pain or discomfort in your thumbs. If you experience pain, you can see a doctor. You ought not to ignore it.

A. The author says that texting has become ________.

1. a rare form of communication 2. the primary form of communication 3. less important than calling 4. only for teenagers

B. Doctors are seeing cases of arthritis in young patients because ________.

1. they eat unhealthy food 2. they both text constantly and play games on their phones 3. they don't exercise 4. they don't sleep enough

C. The condition called 'texting thumb' is medically known as ________.

1. arthritis 2. tendinitis 3. carpal tunnel 4. osteoporosis

D. Teenagers are especially vulnerable to thumb problems because ________.

1. they don't listen to doctors 2. they use their phones more than older people 3. they have stronger thumbs 4. they don't need to type

E. The author recommends that teenagers should ________.

1. stop using phones completely 2. take regular breaks and stretch 3. use only voice features 4. ignore any pain

Digital detox: is it realistic to live without social media for a week and how does it affect mental health — treatment or torture?

The disease of cleanliness: why do urban children have more allergies than rural children?

Allergies are becoming increasingly common, especially among children. In the past, allergies were relatively rare. Today, they affect millions of people worldwide. Interestingly, research shows that children who grow up in cities are more likely to have allergies than children who grow up on farms or in rural areas. This difference is so significant that scientists have given it a name: the hygiene hypothesis.

The hygiene hypothesis suggests that exposure to germs and bacteria in early childhood helps to develop a strong immune system. When children are exposed to various microorganisms, their immune system learns to fight them. This training helps the immune system recognise dangerous invaders and ignore harmless things like pollen or dust.

Children in rural areas are exposed to a wider variety of microorganisms. They play in the dirt, touch animals and breathe in different types of pollen. This constant exposure trains their immune system. Children in cities, on the other hand, live in much cleaner environments. They spend most of their time indoors. They use hand sanitiser and antibacterial soap. Their immune system does not get enough training. When it encounters harmless substances, it overreacts. This overreaction is what we call an allergy. But is technology to blame?

The rise of allergies coincides with the rise of technology. Children today spend more time indoors than ever before. They play video games instead of playing outside. They chat online instead of playing in the dirt. Some people argue that technology is the cause. Others believe that both technology and lifestyle changes are responsible.

Parents who want to protect their children from allergies can take simple steps. They should encourage their children to spend time outdoors. They shouldn't overuse antibacterial products. They can also keep pets. Studies show that children who grow up with dogs have fewer allergies.

These steps aren't difficult, but they require effort. However, not everyone agrees. Some scientists say that the hygiene hypothesis is too simple. They argue that genetics also play an important role. Either the environment is the main cause, or genetics is equally important. More research is needed. Despite the disagreement, most experts agree that spending time outdoors is beneficial for children. It is good for their immune system, their physical health and their mental wellbeing.

A. The hygiene hypothesis suggests that exposure to germs in early childhood ________.

1. causes allergies 2. helps develop a strong immune system 3. is dangerous 4. only affects rural children

B. Children in rural areas have fewer allergies because they ________.

1. eat different food 2. are exposed to more microorganisms 3. have different genetics 4. use less technology

C. Children in cities are more likely to have allergies because they ________.

1. live in cleaner environments with less exposure 2. eat too much sugar 3. don't sleep enough 4. have too much homework

D. Some people believe that technology is to blame for allergies because ________.

1. technology is bad for health 2. children spend more time indoors and less time in nature 3. screens cause allergies 4. technology is new

E. Studies show that children who grow up with dogs ________.

1. have more allergies 2. have fewer allergies 3. are healthier overall 4. don't use technology

The myopia epidemic: should reading on tablets be considered the main cause of declining eyesight in schoolchildren?

Myopia, or short-sightedness, is becoming more common among children. In some countries, more than 80% of teenagers are short-sighted. This is a serious problem. But what is causing this epidemic? Is it reading on tablets and phones? Or are other factors responsible? I used to have perfect vision. But after two years of online school and constant screen use, I noticed a change. I couldn't see the board clearly. I had to sit at the front of the class. My parents said I A____ see an optometrist. The doctor told me that I had developed mild myopia. He recommended that I B____ take more breaks from screens. I asked my doctor whether screens were the only cause. He explained that both genetics and lifestyle matter. He said that children who spend more time outdoors have better vision. This is because sunlight helps the eyes develop properly. But he also said that both reading on tablets and reading books C____ cause eye strain. The key is to take regular breaks and look at things far away. Now I make sure that I take breaks. I also D____ spend more time outdoors. I haven't reversed the myopia, but it hasn't got worse. I E____ have listened to my parents earlier.

A. 1) can 2) may 3) should 4) must

B. 1) should 2) have 3) had 4) might
