单选题Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5
questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. First aid (急救) is the care given to the injured or sick as
soon as possible after an accident or illness. It is this immediate care and
attention before the arrival of the ambulance (救护车) that sometimes means the
difference between life and death, or a full or partial recovery.
First aid has limitations, as not everybody is a doctor or expert, but it
is a key element of the total medical system. The principle to
be adopted in first aid is immediate action. By-standers (旁观者) or relatives not
knowing what to do, or being too fearful to try, have unwisely contributed to
unnecessary deaths and worth injuries. It is important that any
action taken by the first aid provider is started as quickly as possible. Quick
action is necessary to save life and parts of the body. One who is not breathing
effectively, or is bleeding (流血) heavily, requires immediate help. If quick
effective first aid is provided, then they have a much better chance of a good
recovery. But it should be remembered that any action taken is
to be most careful, and fright (恐慌) by the first aid provider and by standers
will not be good to the whole thing. Try to remain calm and think your action
through. A calm and controlled first aider will give everyone confidence that
the event is being handled efficiently and effectively.
