Train yourself, save a life

On Friday afternoon, a male passenger with a heart attack on Beijing’s Line 2 subway died about one hour later. That’s the third heart attack death in 10 days that aroused public attention, with the other two being actor Godfrey Gao and Xu Yong, a senior journalist at Xinhua News Agency.

They are only three of the 550,000 people in China who suffer from sudden cardiac (心脏的) shock every year, of which only about I percent are saved. Actually, many more of these victims could have been saved if Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR心肺复苏) are popularized. When someone suffers a heart attack and falls unconscious, people nearby have a good chance of saving him with CPR.

CPR is really not so hard to learn. All one needs is to learn how to observe and decide if a person is unconscious, where to press on the patients chest, and how to blow air through the mouth and into the lungs. Besides that, public facilities such as airports, high-speed railway stations, and big subway stations could install the Automatic External Defibrillator (AED自动体外除颤器), a device that proves effective and easy to use in saving the lives of people suffering heart attacks. All one needs is to pick it up and follow the instructions.

Unfortunately, neither of the two is popular in China. According to data, the total number of AEDs in China is slightly higher than 2,000, of which most are located in metropolises, such as Beijing and Shanghai. On CPR, less than I percent of adults can master the skill, while many have never heard of it.

Both need improvements to save those 550,000 lives every year. The cost of installing AEDs might be high, and it does take time and resources to train more people in CPR, but it is really worth the effort because every life counts and should be saved in an emergency. It’s time to train everyone and equip more public facilities to save more lives.

1.What’s the major function of the first paragraph?

A.To introduce the background of a story.

B.To lead in the topic of the passage.

C.To describe a social phenomenon.

D.To arouse the reader’s interest.

2.It can be inferred from that ________.

A.CPR is hard to learn

B.installing an aed does not cost much

C.CPR and AEDs are paid little attention to

D.more people suffer from sudden cardiac shock now

3.What does the underlined word in Para. 4 most probably mean?

A.Big cities. B.Public places.

C.Hospitals. D.Subway stations.

4.What may be written in the next part of the passage?

A.Some knowledge about CPR.

B.More examples of the victims of sudden death.

C.The measures to be taken to solve the problem.

D.More reasons why learning CPR and Installing AEDs is necessary.

 

1.B 2.C 3.A 4.C 【解析】 本文为说明文。文章主要叙述了当今社会心脏病突发死亡事件不断增加。事实上一些心肺复苏术,如CPR and AEDs得到普及的话,也许能拯救更多的生命。不幸的是,这两者在中国都没有得到足够的重视。事实证明现在是时候训练每个人,配备更多的公共设施来拯救更多的生命。 1.推理判断题。第一段叙述在周五下午,北京地铁2号线一名心脏病发作的男性乘客在大约一小时后死亡。这是10天内引起公众关注的第三起心脏病死亡事件,另外两起是演员高辉和新华社资深记者徐勇。从而引出普及心肺复苏术,如CPR and AEDs,训练自己,拯救更多的生命。分析选项可知B项符合题意,故选B。 2.推理判断题。第三段叙述了CPR和AEDs两种急救方法。第四段第一句“Unfortunately, neither of the two is popular in China.” 不幸的是,这两种方法在中国都不受欢迎。由此可推断出这两种方法在中国很少有人关注。分析选项可知,C项符合题意,故选C。 3.猜测词义题。第四段中的“…,the total number of AEDs in China is slightly higher than 2,000, of which most are located in metropolises, such as Beijing and Shanghai.” 中国的AEDs总量略高于2000家,其中大部分位于“metropolises”,如北京、上海等。而“北京、上海”属于“大都市”,故“metropolises”是大都市的意思。分析选项A. Big cities大城市;B. Public places公共场所;C. Hospitals.医院;D. Subway stations.地铁站,可知,A项符合题意,故选A。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“it does take time and resources to train more people in CPR, but it is really worth the effort because every life counts and should be saved in an emergency.” 训练更多的人做心肺复苏术确实需要时间和资源,但这确实值得努力,因为每一个生命都是重要的,在紧急情况下都应该被挽救。尤其是最后一句“It’s time to train everyone and equip more public facilities to save more lives”现在是时候训练每个人,装备更多的公共设施来拯救更多的生命。可知,下一步就是要采取措施去解决这个问题,故选C。

    Japan’s biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn’t traveling at all.

For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that’s controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter’s face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she’s really there.

“Virtual travel” is nothing new, of course. Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been inspiring the senses of armchair tourists (足不出户的旅行者) for centuries. It’s only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non-wealthy.

Yet even as the worlds middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seats, there are hints of a post-travel society coming. Concerns about sustainability (可持续发展) are causing a loss to carbon-intensive airlines, which do harm to our environment. And the aging of wealthy societies is both limiting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an inviting response to these trends.

Of course, far-out technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn’t plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be a barrier. By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA’s traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year.

But if the business case for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA’s robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they’ll almost certainly be a part of travels high-tech future.

1.What do we know about Avatar?

A.It’ll take the place of ANA’s airplanes soon.

B.It s a kind of the latest vacuum cleaner.

C.It is invented by ANA Holdings Inc.

D.It’s on sale right now.

2.What prevents Avatars coming into market at present?

A.Lower Profits. B.Aging society.

C.Physical distances between families. D.Concerns about environment.

3.The writer s attitude towards future virtual travel is ________.

A.Critical. B.Objective.

C.Doubtful. D.Positive.

4.What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Difficulties for the armchair tourists

B.The coming trend of virtual vacation

C.Something about virtual reality

D.The popularity of Avatar

This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.

Emily didn't want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you're next.” Although kind of nervous. Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do, Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
