First aid is emergency care for a victim(受害人) of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. It may save a life or improve certain vital signs including pulse, temperature, a clear airway(氣道), and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victims condition from turning worse and provide relief from pain. First aid must be administered as quickly as possible. In the case of the critically injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life.

First-aid measures depend upon a victims needs and the providers level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to permanent spinal(脊柱的) injury and paralysis(癱瘓).

Despite the variety of injuries possible, several principles of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess(評(píng)估) the scene, asking other people or the injured persons family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and preexisting conditions such as diabetes(糖尿病) or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for a medical bracelet or card that describes special medical conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.

First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life-threatening conditions exist. One method for evaluating a victims condition is known by the acronym(首字母縮寫詞) ABC, which stands for:

A-Airway: Is it open and clear?

B-Breathing: Is the person breathing? Look, listen, and feel for breathing.

C-Circulation: Is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding externally? Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.

1. First aid may bring about all the following results EXCEPT ____.

A. saving a victims life

B. preventing a victims condition from getting worse

C. relieving a victim from pain

D. helping a person avoid sudden illness or injury

2. Before we administer first aid to a victim, it is very important for us ____.

A. to make sure what to do and what not to do

B. to refer to all kinds of handbooks on first aid

C. to remove the ring or bracelet he/she may be wearing

D. to take him/her to a hospital at once

3. In administering first aid to a victim, you should first of all ____.

A. remove him/her from the accident scene

B. turn him/her over

C. call for professional medical help

D. examine him/her carefully

4. You may assess a victims condition by all the following EXCEPT ____.

A. checking whether there is a pulse

B. looking, listening and feeling for breathing

C. replacing his/her medical bracelet or card

D. examining whether the airway is open and clear

5. The purpose of the passage is to tell the readers ____.

A. the importance of protecting the accident scene

B. some basic facts about first aid

Dog Translation Products Coming to U. S.

A Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a gadget（小器具） that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the gadget—under the name of Bowlingual—in U.S. pet stores and gift shops this summer.

Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300,000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is forecasting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan.

“We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we dont think they will mind spending $120 on this product,” the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta.

Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a 3-inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console（控制臺(tái)）that is connected to a database(數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)). The console divides each bark into six emotional types—happiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desire—and shows common phrases, such as “Youre ticking me off”,which fit the dogs emotional state.

Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists.

One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dogs world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. “They are too unpredictable（反復(fù)無(wú)常），” the marketing manager said.

1. This passage mainly tells us that Bowlingual ____.

A. was invented in Japan B. has developed quickly

C. will be sold in America D. sells well for its price

2. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ____.

A. markets B. products C. plans D. cats

3. When was this passage most probably published? ____.

A. In the winter of 2002 B. In the spring of 2003

C. In the summer of 2002 D. In the autumn of 2003

4. From the passage, we can see that Takara Co. Ltd. is ____ the sale of its new product.

A. proud of B. satisfied with C. confident of D. worried about

Each summer, many children will have to deal with feeling homesick if part of their summer includes sleepover camp, but parents can play a big role in helping their children overcome homesickness, say psychologists.

Parents can help their children understand that feeling homesick is very natural and that physical activity and making new friends will help distract them from the sad and nervous emotions that are part of homesickness. Parents should also encourage their children not to give up in situations where they may feel overwhelmed and lonely instead of suggestions of ways children can make themselves feel better.

Before children go to overnight camps, they should practice shorter separations to learn which coping methods work for them. Parents can help their children understand which aspects(方面) of the separation they can control (like letter writing, participation in activities) and which aspects they cannot control (like duration of the separation, routines of the new environment). The least homesick children are those who change what they can about the separation and adjust to(適合) what they cant.

Research shows that doing something fun to forget about homesickness, thinking positively, changing feelings to be happy and reframing time are the most common ways that boys and girls coped with their homesickness. Girls also seek(尋求) social support from friends and counselors(輔導(dǎo)員) more often than the boys.

Research also shows that older children are less homesick than younger children, perhaps because older children have generally had more experience away from home, and therefore have had more experience in dealing with homesickness.

1. According to this passage, when children are homesick, ____.

A. parents should understand feeling homsick is natural

B. it is very important for parents to help them

C. parents should adjust to the separation

D. parents should seek support from counselors

2. Which of the following will make children less homesick according to this passage? ____.

A. Calling to parents B. Changing the new rules

C. Joining in physical activities D. Taking some medicine

3. Older children are often less homesick than younger ones because ____.

A. they have been away from home more times

B. they have seldom been back home

C. they stay at home all the year round

D. they are old enough to forget their home

4. What is the main idea of this passage? ____.

A. All the children feel homesick when they leave home

B. Making new friends is very important

C. Children should practice short separations often

D. Parents can help children overcome homesickness

“Prince William”, a new TV movie was aired on US channel ABC (American Broadcasting Company). The two-hour film, the first to tell the life story of the eldest son of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, covers real and imagined events. The events include the death of his mother Princess Diana in a 1997 Paris car accident and Williams arrival atuniversity at the age of 19.

The film describes a picture of William as he struggles to deal with the divorce(離婚) of his parents and the death of his mother. The film also shows the problems of life in a royal family that not only attracts but also tries to hide from the spotlight. The movie was made without the cooperation of the royal family and the British media. The work was based on published stories. The movie tries to show what the prince, now 24, is really like in private.

“I didnt want to show him behind closed doors as people have seen him in front of cameras,” said 25-year-old British Jordan Frieda. He acts the prince in the movie.

“One can sense a lot of training has been put into him when he goes out and faces the world. As to what hes like as a person, there you really have to use the imagination,” he said. In an invented conversation with his father, William complains(抱怨) that he “cant even have a proper kiss” because his bodyguards are always around.

The film was shot in Ireland. It is unlikely that it will ever be seen in Britain where the privacy of the young prince is protected under strict media rules. Princess Dianas mother and Prince Charles have expressed “deep concern” about the movie.

1. The underlined word “royal” (in Paragraph 2) means ____.

A. generous in a way that is admired

B. of no special quality, common

C. relating to a king or queen

D. excellent, as in size or quality

2. Which is TRUE according to this passage? ____.

A. William, as a prince, lives a happy life

B. The movie was produced with the help of the royal family

C. The movie tries to show what Prince William is really like in life

D. William is a prisoner so he has no freedom

3. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? ____.

A. An introduction to a new movie—“Prince William”

B. A story of Prince William

C. The future king—Prince William

D. The death of Princes Diana

Tea has been one of the daily necessities in China since time immemorial. Countless numbers of people like to have their after-meal cup of tea.

In summer or warm climate, tea seems to dispel the heat and bring on instant(立即) cool together with a feeling of relaxation. For this reason, tea-houses abound in towns and market villages in South China and provide elderly retirees with the locales to meet and chat over a cup of tea.

Medically, the tea leaf contains a number of chemicals, of which 20-30% is tannic acid(丹寧酸), known for its anti-inflammatory and germicidal properties(消炎和殺菌性質(zhì)). It also contains an alkaloid (5%, mainly caffeine), a stimulant for the nerve centre and the process of metabolism. Tea with the aromatics in it may help resolve meat and fat and thus promote digestion. It is, therefore, of special importance to people who live mainly on meat, like many of the ethnic minorities in China. A popular proverb among them says, “Rather go without salt for three days than without tea for a single day.”

Tea is also rich in various vitamins and, for smokers, it helps to discharge nicotine out of the system. After wining, strong tea may prove to be a sobering pick-me-up.

The above, however, does not go to say that the stronger the tea, the more advantages it will yield. Too much tannic acid will affect the secretion of the gastric juice, irritate the membrane of the stomach and cause indigestion or constipation. Strong tea taken just before bedtime will give rise to occasional insomnia(失眠). Constant drinking of over-strong tea may induce heart and blood-pressure disorders in some people, reduce the milk of a breast-feeding mother, and put a brown colour on the teeth of young people. But it is not difficult to ward off these undesirable effects: just dont make your tea too strong.

1. How many advantages of the tea the author mentioned in this

passage? ____.

A. Three B. Five C. Seven D. Nine

2. The underlined sentence “Rather go without salt for three days than without tea for a single day.” (in Paragraph 3) means ____.

A. people are able to last three days without salt

B. salt is not so important in peoples life

C. tea is a great favorite with people

D. people cant get both good things at the same time

3. Youd better not have over-strong tea because ____.

A. it can make the teeth brown

B. it will drive away too much heat

C. it can make you sleepy before bedtime

D. it will resolve meat so that you may become thinner
