A heart attack can happen to anyone. Let’s say it’s 5:20 pm and you’re driving home alone after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly, you start experiencing terrible pains in your chest, and they spread to your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital which is nearest your home. Unfortunately, you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You’ve been trained in a CPR course, but the guy who teaches the course hasn’t told you how to perform it on yourself. What can you do? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seems to be quite useful. Without help, people whose hearts stop beating properly and who begin to feel faint (头晕的) have only about 10 seconds left before they faint. However, they can help themselves by coughing over and over very loudly. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, coming from inside the chest. Deep breaths and coughing must be repeated about every two seconds without stopping until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze (挤压) the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it beat normally. In this way, people who are suffering a heart attack can get to a phone and between breaths call for help. Tell as many other people as possible about this, as it may save their lives! 64. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The good thing about coughing. B. How to help people survive a heart attack. C. How to avoid having a heart attack. D. How to survive a heart attack when alone. 65. According to the passage, CPR is most probably something done to ________. A. regain a person’s breath and heart beat B. oneself to help survive a heart attack C. teach people how to stay in good condition D. train people how to stay calm when facing danger 66. According to the second paragraph, what’s the use of taking deep breaths during a heart attack? A. It helps to squeeze the heart. B. It helps to keep the blood circulating. C. It helps to get oxygen into the lungs. D. It helps to reduce the pains in the chest. 67. In which section of a newspaper could you read this passage? A. Health care. B. Advertisement. C. Family. D. Education. |

Women Can’t Keep a Secret The average woman cannot keep a secret for longer than 47 hours, a new study suggests. Researchers found that women are overcome by a burning desire to share gossip as soon as they hear it. They will typically spill the beans to at least one other person in 47 hours and 15 minutes. Depending on who the gossip is about, their boyfriend, husband, best friend or mother are most likely to be the initial recipients (接收者) of the information. The study of 3,000 women aged between 18 and 65 also found that four out of ten admitted they were unable to keep a secret—no matter how personal or confidential the news was. The study found the nation’s ladies hear three pieces of gossip a week, but end up passing it on to at least one other person. Three in 10 admitted having the urge to reveal someone’s secret. However, two thirds end up feeling guilty after passing on secrets. Three quarters say they are capable of keeping quiet about a secret, and 83 per cent consider themselves 100 per cent trustworthy within each group of friends. Yet, four in ten admit to gossiping to a close friend from another friendship group. More than four in ten think it is acceptable to share a friend’s secret with someone who does not know them, with over 40 per cent saying their husband is their final one they share secrets with. Fortunately for some though, over a quarter (27 per cent) said they forgot what they were told the following day. 44. How long can women keep a secret? A. At least two days B. Longer than two days. C. Two days. D. 47 hours and 15 minutes 45. Women will share gossip with all the following except________. A. their boyfriend or husband B. their best friend C. their brother or sister D. their mother 46. According to the study, ________ women were unable to keep a secret. A. 1,200 B.1,800 C. 2, 400 D. 3,000 47. Which of the following is true? A. Most women are not trustworthy B. More than forty per cent tell secrets to their husband. C. Few women feel guilty after passing on secrets. D. Over a quarter think it is acceptable to share gossip. |
Last spring, members of Alaska’s Troop 34, based in Fairbanks, trudged (跋涉) out into the snowy wilderness to take part in their state’s Take a Kid Trapping program. In many parts of the state, beavers (海狸)are pests and need to be controlled. The 10-to-12-year-old girls found out where beavers lived, set traps, and skinned the two animals they caught. The girls hope to catch ten more beavers so that the entire troop can make mittens and hats with the fur. They also want to cook beaver meat. Troop leaders and members say the Scouts are doing a good deed by helping control the state’s beaver population. But animal-rights activists say trapping is cruel. They want the Girl Scouts to stop in their tracks. Beavers aren’t only causing a problem in Alaska. Residents in Sampson County, N.C. , have turned to a local committee to help them battle the growing beaver population there. County landowners are frustrated after the county spent more than $ 50,000 in eight years trying to reduce the beaver population through a government program. The joint state and federal program included paying money to trappers for every beaver carcass they trapped. Many local residents say that the program didn’t work because there were too few trappers. That’s why the county set up its own committee to investigate other ways to control the area’s beaver population. The county will rely on its own beaver-trapping program. It has hired a trapper to set traps in various areas. The county will pay $10 for every beaver carcass. Why do many people say that beavers are a nuisance? For beavers to survive, they need lots of water. Water provides the large rodent (啮齿动物)with a place to hide from meat – eating animals. Beavers also store food underwater for the winter. When there’s not enough water in a particular area, beavers get busy building dams. Beaver dams can cause major flooding and damage to the surrounding countryside as the animals cut down trees to use in their construction projects. Beavers build canals to transport heavy objects. 59.What is Alaska’s Troop 34? A.A team of the Boy Scouts. B.An army. C.A team of the Girl Scouts. D.A sports team. 60.Why does the troop hope to catch ten more beavers? A.To fulfill their task. B.To sell them for money. C.To get enough fur. D.To exchange them for mittens and hats. 61.Which of the following statements is true? A.Sampson County has to find a new way to control the beaver population there. B.The government program in Sampson County has proved to be a success. C.The local government has controlled the number of beavers in the County. D.More and more trappers now start to set traps in Sampson County. 62.Local residents hate beavers because they can ___________. A.cause damage to dams B.block up canals with heavy objects. C.do great harm to construction projects. D.badly damage the environment and cause floods. |

One of the most wonderful things about having a positive attitude is that it can touch many people, and it often exists in our everyday life. Recently, I stopped by a store to get a newspaper and a bottle of drink. The young woman at the check-out counter said, “That’ll be three dollars in all please.” She then glanced down at the paper I was buying and said. “I’m sick and tired of all this negative stuff-on the front pages. I want to read some good news for a change.” She then said, “In fact, I think soemone should just publish a Good News newspaper--- a paper with wonderful, inspirational stories about people over-coming difficulty and doing good things for others. I’d buy one every day!” she then thanked me for coming in and said, “Maybe we’ll get lucky tomorrow; maybe we’ll get some good news.” And she laughed. She made my day. The following day after my business appointments. I dropped by the same store again to pick up bottled water and a piece of newspaper, but a different young lady was behind the counter. As I checked out I said “Good afternoon” and handed her my money. She said nothing, not a word, not a smile or not a gesture. She just handed me my change and in a negative tone ordered “Next!” It hit me right between the eyes: Two people, the same age; one made me feel great, and the other, well, made me feel that I had inconvenienced her by showing up. Every morning you should ask yourself this important question. “Who do I want to be today? The Grouch(不高兴的人) or ‘The Good News Girl?’” Your answer will go a long way toward determining the joy and happiness that you will experience in your life. 53. What does the first salesgirl dislike according to her words? A. Those who have bad manners. B. The bad news in the newspaper. C. The advertisements in the newspaper. D.
