First aid(急救) is the care given to the injured or sick person 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 or 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.

A.call for help from professionals
B.still try to help
C.stand by and not try to help
D.learn it from a doctor
A.Building a supermarket in a residential area

Passage Two
“One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger,”says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.
By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that her mom quit the right way—by stopping abruptly and completely.
In her study, participants were randomly (随机地)assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine (尼古丁)patches before they quit, in addition to a second form. of nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.
Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it—more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.
And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they&39;d rather cut down gradually before quitting.“If you&39;re training for a marathon, you wouldn’t expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think,‘ Well, if I gradually reduce, it&39;s like practice,&39;”says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn&39;t the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings (瘾)and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. “Regardless of your stated preference, if you&39;re ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,”says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that&39;s compelling. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it,”Ferreira says.
People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.
What does Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?
A.She quit smoking with her daughter’s help

D.It is misleading
What happens when people try to quit smoking gradually?A.They find it even more difficult
B.They are simply unable to make it
C.They show fewer withdrawal symptoms
D.They feel much less pain in the process
What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley’s study?A.They were given physical training
B.They were looked after by physicians
C.They were encouraged by psychologists
D.They were offered nicotine replacements
The idea of “a marathon”(Line 2, Para.5) illustrates the popular belief that quitting smokingA.is something few can accomplish
B.needs some practice first

Aluminum is lightweight, rustproof and easily shaped into different forms. By mixing it with other metals, scientist have been able to produce a variety of alloys, some of which have the strength of steel but weigh only one third as much.
Today, the uses of aluminum are innumerable. Perhaps its most important use is in transportation. Aluminum is found in the engines of automobiles, in the hulls of boats. It is also used in many parts of airplanes. In fact, the huge "airbus" planes would probably never have been produced if aluminum did not exist. By making vehicles lighter in weight aluminum has greatly reduced the amount of fuel needed to move them. Aluminum is also being used extensively in the building industry in some countries.
Since aluminum is such a versatile(多用的) metal, it is fortunate that bauxite(铝土矿) , which is one of its chief sources, is also one of the earth's most plentiful substances. As the source of aluminum is almost inexhaustible, we can expect that more and more uses will be found for this versatile metal.
The price of aluminum was sharply reduced when people discovered a new refining process with the aid of______.
A.wind power
B.solar energy
C.hydraulic power
D.electricity
