Hypothermia can be mild, moderate or severe. Mild hypothermia is something that most people in cold climates have experienced at one time or another. You feel so cold that your body starts to shake -- not very much, but uncontrollably.

The treatment for mild hypothermia starts with getting out of the cold and, if necessary, changing into dry clothes. Drinking warm, non-alcoholic liquids and eating something sugary can stop the shivering.

Taking a warm bath or sitting by a fire or doing some exercise can also help the body warm up. These are all common-sense treatments.

But treatment needs to change when people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia. In that situation, their body temperature drops below thirty-five degrees Celsius. They lose the ability to think clearly. Their muscles become stiff. They might bump into things or fall over objects.

Members of search-and-rescue teams will first try to prevent additional heat loss. They will place extra covering around the chest, head and neck of hypothermia victims to keep them warm.

Hypothermia victims need medical help as soon as possible. Working quickly to get people out of the cold is important. However, hypothermia victims must be moved slowly and gently.

Any rough or sudden movement can force cold blood from the arms, legs and hands deep into the warmer middle of the body. This sudden flow of cold blood can create shock, a serious condition. It can also cause an abnormal heartbeat. Members of search-and-rescue teams have a saying that hypothermia victims are not dead until they are warm and dead. The process of "rewarming" a person needs to be done slowly, in a hospital setting.

An extremely low body temperature can cause the heart to beat so slowly that a pulse may be difficult to find. In other words, a person who is suffering from the effects of severe cold may seem dead, but still be alive.

1.According to the text, when a person experience mild hypothermia, _____.

A. He feels cold so he shakes deliberately.

B. He can drink some wine to stop the shaking.

C. Some common treatments can help him recover.

D. He should be sent to the hospital immediately.

2.Which of the following expression can take the place of the underlined words?

A. break into B. knock into

C. break down D. sweep up

3.When people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia, which of the following statement is WRONG? _________

A. Their body temperature drops below 35℃.

B. The rescue workers should first help them warm slowly and gently in a proper situation.

C. Hypothermia victims seem alive but dead.

D. If hypothermia isn’t treated correctly, the victim’s heart may not beat normally.

4.What’s the best title for the text? _____.

A. Different kinds of hypothermia

B. Medical help is important in treating hypothermia

C. Emergency treatment for different types of hypothermia.

D. How to avoid cold-weather injuries.

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend (易于) to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.

According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed (擠出) between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.

After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.

In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity - or extreme overweight - among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject (拒絕) older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% - and is growing.

1.In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?

A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.

B. They regard eating as a key part of their life style.

C. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.

D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.

2.This text is mainly about the relationship between ______.

A. children and adults B. Americans and the French

C. life style and obesity D. fast food and overweight

3.Where does this text probably come from?

A. A health report B. A book review

C. A TV interview D. A food advertisement

Michelle Obama, Kate Moss and Samantha Cameron are three of the most stylish﹙時髦的﹚ women on the planet because they have their daughters rather than their style. A new research has shown that women with daughters tend to be more stylish than mothers of sons; a fact partly because of the style advice their daughters offer as they get older.

78 percent of women over the age of 50 say they would be more than happy to let their daughters choose a complete outfit﹙全套衣裝﹚ for them. However, just five percent of women say they would turn to their sons for style advice, while 28 percent believe that mothers of boys are less fashionable than women with girls.

“Women who don’t have daughters become less interested in style as they grow older but having a daughter may keep alive her interest in looking great,” comments psychologist Honey Langcaster-James. “And, because of their close relationship, they also have a source of support and encouragement when it comes to their style decisions.”

More than a quarter of women believe that Mums who have sons are less fashion-conscious than Mums with daughters. The most common reasons for this are that daughters are more critical, offer good advice and inspiration, and add an element of competition to look the best while sons don’t seem to care and aren’t as strict as daughters.

Interestingly, although mothers tend to rely on their daughters’ style tips, their confidence isn’t reciprocated﹙互換﹚, with 40 percent of women between the age of 19 and 34 saying they wouldn’t allow their mothers to shop for them as what their mothers would choose for them would not be as good as they expected.

And although they might not appreciate the fashion advice, the research, which was conducted by online retailer Gray & Osbourn, showed that daughters do still need their mothers with 71 percent saying they chat to their female parent every day.

“In short, the research shows just how important relationships are between mothers and daughters,” added Langcaster-James, “and just how much women appreciate an honest and trustworthy opinion.”

1.The opening paragraph is mainly to show .

A. girls influence their mothers’ style decision

3.It can be inferred from the passage that girls .

A. show more interest in science than boys.

B. care more about what their mothers wear

C. can help a lot to solve family problems

D. are good at encouraging other people

4.By saying “their confidence isn’t reciprocated” in Paragraph 5, the author means that .

A. some women don’t like to choose clothes for their mothers

B. some women aren’t sure what to wear when attending a party

C. some women often show no confidence in themselves

D. some women would not like to follow their mothers’ style advice
