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.

31. The passage is probably taken from _________.

A. a newspaper B. the Internet C. a textbook D. a guide book

32. The underlined word “ evaluate” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.

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.

34. The author thinks that helping a victim can be ____________.

A. risky B. shocking C. exciting D. boring

35. 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.

Every girl wants to have a great-looking tattoo (紋身) design that makes them more attractive. Small and lovely tattoo designs are the path to go for girls planning to get tattooed for the first time.

Nowadays, more and more females are getting a tattoo inked on their body. In the last fifteen years, tattoos have grown from being a sign of rebelliousness and trouble to a state of popular acceptance as a mark of fashion.

Tattoos are permanent so you need to be sure that you like it before getting one. A great way is to have small tattoos that look beautiful as well. You can get a cherry blossom tattoo on the foot, perhaps, a hibiscus flower on the shoulder or a lovely butterfly on the lower stomach; whatever design you choose, it can definitely add to your attractiveness and charm.

Deciding to get a tattoo needs careful thought and reflection. Otherwise, you could make some serious tattoo mistakes. Try to avoid big and obvious designs if possible. Another important part of choosing a tattoo design is the location. What part of the body do you want it on? Choosing a hidden location can often make the tattoo the perfect adornment (裝飾). As for professional women, tattoos should normally be where they can be hidden.

Most importantly, no matter what tattoo design you choose the final goal is that the design should be something you like. If you are into the tattoo and really feel passionate about it you will carry yourself in a different manner when you get it inked on your body.

36. A girl wants to have a tattoo in order to ________.

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling．Recycling in the home is very important of course．However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need．We are dealing with the results of that over–consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place．

The total amount of packaging has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005．It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK．In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard．

Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment．The UK, for example, is running out of it for burying this unnecessary waste．If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect．Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy．The solution is not to produce such items in the first place．Food waste is a serious problem, too．Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need．However, few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example．

But this is not just about supermarkets．It is about all of us．We have learned to associate packaging with quality．We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality．This is especially true of food．But it is also applied to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary．

There are signs of hope．As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collected．We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb．

41．What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?

A．Using too much packaging． B．Recycling too many wastes．

C．Making more products than necessary． D．Having more material than is needed．

42．The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show ___________．

A．the tendency of cutting household waste B．the increase of packaging recycling

C．the rapid growth of supermarkets D．the fact of packaging overuse

43．According to the text, recycling ___________．

A．helps control the greenhouse effect B．means burning packaging for energy

C．is the solution to gas shortage D．leads to a waste of land

44．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality．

B．Supermarkets care more about packaging．

C．It is improper to judge quality by packaging．

D．Other products are better packaged than food．

45．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Fighting wastefulness is difficult．

B．Needless material is mostly recycled．

C．People like collecting recyclable wastes．

D．The author is proud of their consumer culture．

I suppose that having been brought up in the countryside and close to animals，it wasn’t remarkable(不平常的)when I decided to become a vet(獸醫)．Luckily I was also good at all the necessary science subjects. So after the college entrance examination I found myself at a veterinary college，training to look after animals in all kinds of situations. I hoped that I would be able to work in the research field so that I could find cures for animal diseases. ks5u

Much to my surprise，I found public health care was a very important aspect of my course. This is an area of animal medicine where a vet’s work has many things in common with the work of a doctor of human diseases. I particularly liked it because I recognized that the study of animal diseases can help human medicine. As we know，many infectious diseases come from animals—including SARS and bird flu.

Some of the infections have only been understood after carefully analytical work in labs by animal doctors. They helped identify the animal source for diseases such as SARS. They were also the first to identify various kinds of viruses. Sometimes vets are also able to suggest a cure for human illnesses. When I found this out I was determined to make public health medicine my chosen career.

After graduation，I applied for a job in public health. Soon I found myself concerned with the problem of bird flu. This is an illness that attacks birds，but humans can catch the disease if they are in close contact with infected birds. Though the job is dangerous，it makes me proud that vets and other animal disease researchers are in the front line helping to fight these unknown human diseases.

46．The writer wanted to become a vet mainly because______.

A．he did well in all necessary subjects

B．he wanted to help animals

C．he was close to animals in his early life

D．he wanted to find cures for human diseases

47. What made the writer particularly like the course of public health care was that________.

A．it was both important and interesting

B．it could help him connect many human diseases with animals

C．it made a vet’s work very much like a doctor’s

D．it could help human medicine by studying animal diseases

48. What can be followed if this passage continues?

A．The writer’s happy family life.

B. How the writer did research work in studying bird flu.

C．How the writer dealt with the relationship with other workmates.

D．What difficulty the writer met in the research work.

49. Which of the following is implied in the passage?

A．Animals with infectious diseases should be killed.

B．Keeping animals is dangerous to humans.

C．Dangerous as a vet’s job is，it is significant to the human race.

D．Animal researchers work in the same way as human doctors.

50．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．Being a vet is helpful to both animals and humans.

B．Vets can cure both animals and humans.

C．Vets helped identify animal resources for SARS.

D．Both SARS and bird flu are infectious diseases coming from animals.

Animals are our close friends. Without them，especially the rare species，the world would be too dull to live in．Unfortunately, we have heard recently that rare animals，even when kept in the zoo，couldn’t escape being hurt and killed，at which we can feel nothing but shocked．The reason is that some people lack awareness of the importance of animal protection and don’t care for them at all．

Therefore，we should take active measures to protect the animals. Keep in mind that protecting animals is protecting ourselves and thus it is our duty to do it well．
