Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.
The first aid (急救) you learn from a course is not quite like reality. Most of us feel afraid when dealing with "the real thing". By overcoming these feelings, we are better able to use the first aid to cope with the unexpected.
Doing your part
First aid is not an exact science, and is thus open to human error. No matter how hard you try, the casualty (伤者) may not respond as hoped. Some conditions might lead to death, even with the best medical care.
Giving care with confidence
The casualty needs to feel protected and in safe hands. You can create an air of confidence and safety by:
? being in control, both of yourself and the problem;
? acting calmly and reasonably;
? being gentle, but firm, with your hands, and speaking to the casualty kindly, but hopefully.
Building up trust
Talk to the casualty throughout your examination and treatment (治疗).
? Explain what you are going to do.
? Try to answer questions honestly to reduce fears as best as you can. If you do not know the answer, say so.
单选题
When we deal with the real cases of first aid, we often feel ______.
单选题
"First aid is... open to human error" in the second paragraph means ______.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】理解判断题。本题考查第二段第一句的意思。第二段第一句话就指出“急救不是严密的科学”，之后又叙述急救中可能出现导致死亡的突发状况，两者结合表明，急救中也许会出现错误。因此C项(人们可能在急救中犯错)为正确答案。
[避错指南] A项(急救从不出差错)过于绝对，先排除；B项(急救中的医疗护理是必要的)与D项(急救广泛运用于事故处理)在文中都没有提及，故均排除。此外，be open to含有“倾向……”的意思，考生如果了解这个意义，就可以很快选出答案。
单选题
An air of confidence and safety is important in giving first aid because the casualty needs to feel to be ______.
