22、e and death for a skier lost on a snowy mountain, most people would depend on life-saving dogs. Noble works as a rescue team member in a vacation land, California. He tells us, “Dogs run fastest when an accident happens.” His partner Wylee, a life-saving dog, can search an accident scene the size of
23、 a football field. It only needs 5 to 10 minutes. However, 5 rescue team members have to spend a couple of hours in the same area. Apart from its excellent speed, Noble chooses Wylee as his partner partly because it weighs only about half what other kinds of dogs weigh. Rescue team members have to c
24、arry their dogs to search sites in addition to carrying 60-pound backpacks with food, water and other equipment. The dogs need the lift so that they dont get tired before they start working.

25、p local people in danger. But dogs dont save that many people. Thats because there arent that many to save. A quarter of people in danger die from serious injuries before the snow stops moving. Of those buried who werent killed by injuries, half die within 20 minutes. If there is a chance of rescue,
26、 though, the dogs also cut search time for the remains. Erica Mueller, a famous director, wanted to see how the life-saving dogs worked, so she volunteered to spend part of an hour in a roomy snow cave waiting to be found. She was armed with a radio and was wearing several layers to stay warm. After
27、 being rescued by Wylee, she said, “I cant talk like a survivor, but it was definitely a cool way to see how well trained those dogs are.”_答案: Life-saving dogs are of vital importance and help in avalanche rescues due to their excellent speed. (要点1) In addition, another advantage of life-saving dogs is their light weight. (要点2) Nonetheless, the number of people rescued was not large owing to serious injuries and limited time. (要点3) However, through an experiment, a famous director Erica Mueller, spoke highly of the life-saving dogs in avalanche rescues. (要点4)
