单选题 First Aid First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. First aid may save a life or improve certain vital signs including pulse, temperature, an unobstructed airway (气道), and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim's condition from worsening and provide relief from pain. First aid must be administered as quickly as possible. In the case of the critically injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life. First-aid measures depend upon a victim's needs and provider's level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to permanent spinal (脊柱的) injury and paralysis (瘫痪). Despite the variety of injuries possible, several principles of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess the scene, asking other people or the injured person's family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and preexisting conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病) or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for medical bracelet (手镯) or card that describes special medical conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim. First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life-threatening conditions exist. One method for evaluating a victim's condition is known by the acronym (首字母缩写词) ABC, which stands for: A—Airway: Is it open and unobstructed? B—Breathing: Is the person breathing? Look, listen, and feel for breathing. C—Circulation: Is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding externally? Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems. Once obvious injuries have been evaluated, the injured person's head should be kept in a neutral position in line with the body. If no evidence exists to suggest potential skull or spinal injury, place the injured person in a comfortable position. Positioned on one side, a victim can vomit without choking or obstructing the airway.

单选题 阅读下面这篇短文，短文后列出7个句子，请根据短文的内容对每个句子做出判断。 Before any period of exercise it is well worth spending two or three minutes warming up with a series of simple stretching exercises. This not only helps your joints(关节) to move easily but also prepares all your muscle groups for more energetic activity. It is rather like a cat stretching itself before it springs into action. Here are four movements to do in an easy and unhurried way, gently stretching each action without forcing it. Repeat each movement ten times, breathing normally throughout. Ⅰ. Standing with your feet apart, push both arms out straight in front of you, fingertips touching. Raise them above your head, then down to the sides pushing each arm backwards at the same time. Ⅱ. Standing with your feet apart, and hands on hips(臀部). Tip your head back and look straight up to the ceiling. Roll your head round slowly to face the right, then the floor, then the left, and finally up at the ceiling again. Repeat in the other direction. Ⅲ. Standing with your feet apart and hands on your sides, lean first to the right and then to the left, sliding the hand down the side of the leg. Ⅳ. Standing feet apart and arms out straight in front, with your eyes fixed on your right hands, swing your right arm round to the right, keeping it straight, as far as it will go. Return it to the front and repeat with the left arm.

单选题There seems to be a close relationship between drinks and one's life. The adolescent(少年)usually loves soft drinks for their sweetness and variety. He knows nothing of sadness and his taste of life is sweetness to the exclusion of all the others. In his eyes, the world is full of facets just as soft drinks are varied in flavor. Youth sees him on a job or in love. Now, soft drinks will have to give way to coffee, which is bitter yet somewhat sweet and fragrant. It gives a stimulating sensation suggestive of maturity, appealing to him, as he is fickle and moody. At his stage, he begins his career full of ambition and ideals, on the other hand he also needs and aspires after a home of his own. However, either his work or his love affairs may bring small setbacks, for which he is sometimes seen forcing a tearful smile and sometimes smiling through his tears. Considerations of gains and losses seem to him an enjoyment as well as a torture. Middle age turns him to Chinese tea that gives a delicate fragrance very gradual to come out, only discernable off and on. It is bland an elegant, deep and profound. It never stimulates your sense of taste but a lip of it will leave a faint fragrance lingering in your mouth, Free from impractical longings and fully aware of the evanescent of the sunset, he cherishes every minute of the day and each day of his is sweetened with a simple but real happiness. The elderly drinks plain boiled water which is devoid of saccharin, caffeine or theophyline (茶碱). It tastes insipid yet a slow sipping will doubtless yield a wee bit of sweetness. He has been tossed in life's storms and taught by rough and bitter experience to know better than to care about glories and successes which appear to him now as transient as a fleeting cloud. For this is the time he can sit comfortable in an armchair letting his mind wander. All that happened in the past and all that exist in the world seem to him as plain and insipd as water...

单选题A Source of Concern As millions of children head back to school, doctors are bracing for an increase in asthma (哮喘) attacks. The exposure to allergens (过敏物质) and contagious (接触传染的) colds and viruses in the classroom often triggers episodes among asthmatics, leading to a spike (突然上升) each fall in the number of hospitalizations for the disease. And there are plenty of children at risk: research published in this week' s issue of the British medical journal. The Lancet finds asthma has become more prevalent in younger children in North American over the past decade. If the chronic condition is controlled through medication and management plans, children call usually lead relatively normal, healthy lives. But many parents aren' t taking such steps. In a survey by the American Lung Association reported Tuesday, nearly three quarters (73 percent) of 2,010 parents with asthmatic children said they are concerned about how their child's asthma will affect their ability to participate in school. Yet fewer than a third of the parents have made sure their children are under medical supervision or have talked to school administrators about their child's asthma. And fewer than half (48 percent) say they've talked to the school teachers about their child's asthma or made sure the child's medicine is available at school (42 percent). "That' s a source of concern," says Dr. Norman H. Edelman, chief medical officer for the American Lung Association, which has launched a back - to--school campaign to help parents recognize asthmatic symptoms in their kids and to develop a management plan. "This really has to be a collaboration between the doctor, parents, child and school. " It is the most common chronic condition and the leading cause of hospitalizations for those under18, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation. Edehnan says as many as 2 million more may have mild forms of the disease that have not have been diagnosed. Frequent shortness of breath and wheezing are common symptoms of the chronic condition. Parents should also check with their child's physician if their child is waking up coughing during the night or can' t keep up with other children during playtime.

单选题{{B}}第二篇{{/B}} {{B}}Brain-dead Mother Dies after Giving Birth{{/B}} A brain-dead woman who was kept alive for three months so she could deliver the child she was carrying was removed from life support on Wednesday and died, a day after giving birth. "This is obviously a bittersweet time for our family," Justin Torres, the woman's brother-in-law, said in a statement. Susan Torres, a cancer-stricken, 26-year-old researcher at the National Institutes of Health, suffered a stroke in May after the melanoma (黑瘤) spread to her brain. Her family decided to keep her alive to give her foetus (胎儿) a chance. It became a race between the foetus' development and the cancer that was destroying the woman's body. Doctors said that Torres' health was getting worse and that the risk of harm to the foetus finally outweighed the benefits of extending the pregnancy. Torres gave birth to a daughter by Caesarean section (剖腹产手术) on Tuesday at Virginia Hospital Center. The baby was two months premature and weighed about a kilogram. She was in the newborn intensive care unit. Dr Donna Tilden-Archer, the hospital's director of neonatology (新生儿学), described the child as "very vigorous." She said the baby had responded when she received stimulation, indicating she was healthy, Doctors removed Torres from life support early Wednesday with the consent of her husband, Jason Torres, after she received the final sacrament (圣礼) of the Roman Catholic Church. "We thank all of those who prayed and provided support for Susan, the baby and our family," Jason Torres said in a statement. "We especially thank God for giving us little Susan. My wife's courage will never be forgotten." English-language medical literature contains at least 11 cases since 1979 of irreversibly brain-damaged women whose lives were prolonged for the benefit of the developing foetus, according to the University of Connecticut Health Center. Dr Christopher McManus, who coordinated care for Susan Torres, put the infant's chances of developing cancer at less than 25 per cent. He said 19 women who have had the same aggressive form of melanoma as Torres have given birth, and five of their babies became iii with the disease.

单选题Florida Hit by Cold Air Mass In January, 2003, the eastern two-thirds of the United States was at the mercy of a bitterly cold air mass that has endangered Florida"s citrus trees, choked northern harbors with ice and left bewildered residents of North Carolina"s Outer Bands digging out of up to a foot of snow. The ice chill deepened as temperatures fell to the single digits in most of the South, with an unfamiliar dip below the freezing mark as far south as parts of interior South Florida. Temperatures in Florida plunged, with West Palm Beach dropping to a record low of 2 degrees. "We couldn"t believe how cold it was," said Martin King, who arrived this week in Orlando from England. "We brought shorts, T-shirt, and I had to go out and buy another coat." The temperature plunge posed a threat to Florida"s USD-9.1-billion-a-year citrus crop, more of which is still on the trees. Growers were hurrying to harvest as much of the fruit as possible before it was damaged by cold. "Time is of the essence in getting fruit to the plant," said Tom Rogers, a citrus grower who expected to see damage to oranges and grapefruit at that time. In Florida, Governor Jeb Bush signed an emergency order to eliminate the weight limit on trucks so citrus growers could get as much fruit to market as possible. Casey Pace, a spokeswoman for Florida Citrus Mutual, said growers had sprayed trees with sprinklers, which created a layer of ice and helped maintain a temperature near freezing. Citrus trees are considered in danger of damage if the temperature drops below minus 2 degrees Celsius for four hours or more. Snow ranging from a dusting to up to 30 centimeters blanketed the Carolinas, Tennessee and parts of Virginia.
