We all know how important human life is—it’s priceless. It doesn’t matter where you are from or what the color of your skins is—all people are human beings. Firstly, we can tell you that the lives of your relatives could depend on your ability to give first aid. If you think highly of human’s life, this website is for you! Here you can find information about first aid.
The very first thing that you should do when you see an accident is to evaluate the situation and prevent further dangerous incidents. First of all, you have to recognize what has happened and what the dangers to rescuers and victims are. Think about how to take care of the victims.
Helping usually takes place in very difficult conditions and injuries can be very bad. Therefore, you cannot be too afraid of making mistakes to help. Sometimes you have to face the fact that regardless of your actions and your efforts the victim’s condition might not improve—he or she could even die. In some cases even professional medical aid may not succeed. If you have done everything you think you should do, you shouldn’t feel guilty.
Do not expose yourself to danger. Giving first aid can be dangerous. While trying to help a victim, do not forget about your own safety. If something happens to you, you won’t be able to help anyone.
Call for help after you find out the condition of a victim. But remember if a victim faints due to breathing failure caused by drowning, choking or poisoning, you should first take actions that help to bring back the heart beat and breathing. While calling, talk shortly but clearly. Always provide the following information: the location of the accident, the kind of accident, the number of the injured and your full name and phone number and so on.
小題1:The passage is probably taken from _________.
A．a newspaperB．the InternetC．a textbookD．a guide book
小題2:The underlined word “ evaluate” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
A．leaveB．protectC．avoidD．judge
小題3: What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A．You should learn some professional knowledge about first aid.
B．You shouldn’t feel guilty if you don’t know about first aid.
C．Try your best to give first aid and don’t be afraid of making mistakes
D．Don’t make mistakes when you are giving first aid.
小題4:The author thinks that helping a victim can be ____________.
A．riskyB．shockingC．excitingD．boring
小題5:It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A．young people must learn how to give first aid
B．you should forget about your own safety while giving first aid.
C．when you see an accident you should do nothing but call the police.
D．when calling for help you should give all relevant details.

In many countries today, laws protect wildlife. In India, the need for such protection was realized centuries ago.
About 300 B.C. an Indian writer described forest that were somewhat like national parks today. The killing of game beasts was carefully supervised(監(jiān)視). Some animals were fully protected．Within the forest, nobody was allowed to cut timber(wood for building), burn wood for charcoal(炭), or catch animals for their furs. Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the park so that other animals would not become uneasy.
The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand species of animals are in danger of extinction, and the rate of extinction was about one species every fifty years from A.D. 1 to 1800, but now it is about one species every year.

Not only did the students ask for changes in the list of required subjects，but they also demanded the right to choose their courses according to their own taste and future needs．No more fixed programs,no guidance from educators and professors．All they wanted was to get their degree as fast as possible and go to work．
Although the educators didn’t all agree；a majority recognized that time had indeed changed and that education should perhaps adapt itself to the realities of modern society．Colleges and universities revised their programs to include a large number of specialized courses in business，nursing，engineering，and other professional fields．In the 1960s they also added courses requested by the students because they considered them“relevant(相關的)”(Women Studies，Revolution，or Black History)or useful(glass blowing，infant care，slow running，or family life)．The students were granted the right to choose their courses as they wished．Many traditional subjects had to be dropped，including history and foreign languages；the liberal education courses that were still useful were often neglected(忽視)by the students，who didn’t feel like working hard to learn something that was not required for graduation．
Whether the revised programs have helped college graduates to find employment quickly is not clear．But after fifteen or twenty years of experimentation，they have raised a lot of criticism．Some of it comes from the graduates themselves,who discover that their practical knowledge is neither deep nor flexible(靈活的)．As soon as they progress to higher positions，they find that they need management training and more study in their own field．Besides，they feel disabled by their lack of general knowledge,for example，by their ignorance of the language and culture of the foreigners with whom they are doing business. Most of all they suffer from their inability to use English，their own language，easily and properly.
小題1:The students also demanded      ，besides a change of program.
A．the right to choose their university
B．the right to choose their professors
C．the right to choose their degree
D．the right to choose their courses
小題2:What was the reaction of the colleges towards the students’demand?
A．All the educators agreed with them.
B．None of the educators agreed with them.
C．A few educators agreed with them.
D．A few educators disagreed with them.
小題3:Who is it that criticized the new system of education?
A．GraduatesB．ParentsC．EmployersD．Educators

Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries may speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.
The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.
The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check this in a dictionary.
小題1:The writer thinks that        .
A．choose a good dictionary, and you’ll be successful in learning English
B．dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English
C．it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly
D．using dictionaries very often can’t help to improve writing
小題2: According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?
A．Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English.
B．Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries.
C．Small two-language dictionaries have serious shortcomings.
D．Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries.
小題3: When in the reading does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary?
A．At the beginning of the reading
B．At the end of the reading
C．During the first reading
D．After the first reading
小題4: This passage mainly tells us        .
A．that students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionaries
B．what were the shortcomings of small two-language dictionaries
C．why students should use large college edition dictionaries
D．what dictionary students should choose and how to use it
