A nurse from Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, got high praise（赞扬）after she saved a 54-year-old man’s life by giving him first aid.
At around 4 p.m. on November 10, 2018, Yan Mei, who worked at Taizhou No. 1 People’s Hospital, was on her way home. As she was waiting for the bus, she noticed that there were many people around a man. The man passed out because of a sudden illness. She squatted down（蹲下）and touched his neck, diagnosing（诊断）the illness as a heart attack. Then she did first aid to the man at once. With her help, the man felt a little better. Yan continued with her first aid until the doctors arrived.
After arriving home, she called her workmate to learn about the man’s condition. When learning that the man was out of danger, she smiled.
Three days later, Yan received a call from the daughter of the man. “Are you the nurse who saves my father? Thank you very much,” the woman said. “Can I meet you this afternoon so that I can thank you face to face?” “That is my pleasure. There is no need to visit me,” Yan replied.
Although Yan didn’t agree, the daughter of the man still came to the hospital to express her thanks in person. She said, “You might think that you have just done what you should do, but for us, you save my whole family.”

The first Chinese medical team was set up in 1962 and sent to Africa the next year. Since then, China has sent over 23 thousand team members to over 45 African countries, treating over 240 million patients. Today, Chinese medical teams are in many parts of Africa. They’re trying hard to save lives and help Africans keep healthy.
Their work is hard but meaningful. The working conditions are poor. For example, during operations, the power sometimes may go out, but the members don’t give up working. They take out their smartphones and turn on the flashlights (手电筒) to make sure the operations go on. Many places are short of doctors and nurses. Chinese medical teams not only save patients’ lives but also help train doctors and nurses. Africans are so thankful to the medical team members that they call the members “angels (天使) in white”.
With its 62-year non-stop medical help to Africa, China has helped ameliorate the health and happiness of Africans. As China and Africa work hard to build a community with a shared future, Chinese medical teams play an important role in making it.

Georgia Roy is a paramedic (急救员). She spoke to Craig Jackson from Out and About magazine.
Craig: What’s it like to work as a paramedic, Georgia?
Georgia: Every day is different, because we get so many different calls for help. We might go to a car accident or to a house where someone is sick. Some days are very busy and some days are quiet. Sometimes we work during the day and sometimes we work at night. I always work with a partner—another paramedic. When we get a call from someone, we get into the ambulance (救护车) and drive to them as quickly as we can. We use the siren to tell other drivers to move out of our way.
Craig: What makes a good paramedic?
Georgia: You have to be good at talking to people. You have to stay calm and quickly find out what their problem is. Sometimes we can help them, but usually we have to take them to the hospital.
Craig: What do you do in between the calls?
Georgia: When we’re not out on the road, my partner and I check the ambulance and the equipment.
Craig: What’s the best thing about your job?
Georgia: I just like giving help to people when they need it most. Once a woman had a baby in the ambulance. That was amazing!

【推荐1】Students often gather together in small, closed groups. If you are not part of a group, it can be difficult for you to be accepted. This is especially true if you can’t speak to the members of the group in their language.
This was the situation Sam faced each day as he went to class. Sam and his family moved to France last month. Before he arrived, he knew there would be many difficulties. But they were even worse than he imagined.
Every lunch hour, after arriving at his new school, Sam sat alone in the dining hall. He looked at all the different groups of students around him. But he had no way to let them know that he was a good person. He simply couldn’t find the right words to reach them.
Sam knew he had to find a way to change the situation. Somehow, he had to adapt to this new environment. He did a little research on the Internet and discovered that smiling is a universal language—it is understood everywhere.
One morning, as Sam was walking by a group of students, he smiled at them. A boy in the group smiled back at him. For Sam, that was a good beginning. Later, he noticed the boy coming towards him in the hall with a warm smile on his face. Sam returned the smile.
Soon the boy asked Sam to join him and his group of friends for lunch. Although Sam wasn’t able to say much in French, everyone smiled and laughed. Before he knew it, Sam had a group of friends, and they all wanted to help him learn French.
1. It’s easy to get on well with the members if you are not part of a group.2. Sam understood there would be many challenges after he arrived in France.
3. Sam found that smiling is the key to make friends.
4. At first, Sam didn't want to communicate with the students around him.

【推荐2】Imagine getting the chance to go camping for five days. It would be an adventure in the wild. You could row on a lake every day and leave your smartphone at home. Would you want to try this?
In June, four teenage girls from Minnesota, US, went camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (边界水域泛舟区). They had a great time—even without their smartphones.
Julia Ruelle, 16, put the group together. Earlier this year, she won an essay contest sponsored (赞助) by a company. The award was a five-day canoe and camping adventure with up to three friends. No parents or guides would be there. This award was supposed to encourage kids to be less dependent on technology.
Ruelle had been to the area before, but she had always gone with her parents. Sharing the experience with friends would be very different. She invited three friends: Anna Wander, Madeline Wilson, and Julianna Torelli.
They came up with a daily plan. “We would wake up early every day. We were done paddling (划桨) by noon. We ate lunch at the campsite. Then it was time for hammocks (吊床), reading, writing, making friendship bracelets (手链), talking and napping,” Ruelle said.
“I’m a lot less worried about things,” Wander said when asked how she felt without her cellphone. Her favorite thing to do was lie in her hammock and look at the lake. Torelli enjoyed cooking. She made blueberry pancakes and sandwiches.
No one felt hungry or homesick. “Mental (心理的) health can be improved so much. It really helps to get away and reconnect with yourself,” Ruelle said.

【推荐3】People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years.
The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill. Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain. No one knows exactly why they were painted there. Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.
About 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet (字母表).
The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary (普通的) people could not understand it.
