【推荐1】Nine-year-old Rocky Hurt and ten-year-old Ethan Wilson, were playing football in their front yard in Marietta, when a neighbor they had never met, suddenly rushed out of her house shouting to call them to call 911. That woman was Susanna Rohm whose twelve-week-old baby seemed to stop breathing suddenly. In her panic (恐慌), she couldn’t find her phone, so she decided to rush outside to ask for help.

After getting their parents to make the call, the two boys followed their mother to see if they could do anything to help. And help they did! As Susanna was trying to do CPR (心肺复苏术) on her baby, young Rocky came in and told her she was doing it all wrong. Instead, he asked her to use two fingers, push on the chest 5—10 times, tilt (使倾斜) the baby’s head, plug (堵住) the nose and then do a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (复苏) by breathing into the baby’s mouth.

Luckily for him and the baby, Susanna didn’t doubt his advice for even a second and soon came a loud cry from the baby! Soon the doctors came and the baby was sent to hospital.

The most amazing part of this story is that neither of the boys has attended a CPR class. Instead, they learned it all by carefully reading the posters on the walls of their school hall. And, while they are now being called as heroes and even interviewed on national television, neither really cares. They are just glad to have saved the baby’s life.

【推荐3】Teenager safety (安全) is becoming a serious problem these days. According to a survey, all kinds of accidents happen to teenagers in China every year.

The 12-year-old Sun Xiao was riding home when a man suddenly jumped out from the roadside, stopped him and rode Sun Xiao’s bike away. Sun Xiao was really scared, but he didn’t run after the robber (盗匪). Instead, he called the police quickly.

“Safety is the most important,” Sun Xiao said. He remembered what his teacher told him in his first aid class. “It is not safe to run after a man who is much stronger than you.”

Sun Xiao is a junior school student. His school is one of the first to have first aid education in China. Junior 1 students at the school must take the class once a week. The first aid classes are to teach students skills so that they can save themselves in the dangerous situation.

Students at his school often learn by role-playing in first aid classes. “I acted as a stranger knocking (敲) at the door. A classmate stood inside the door and asked several questions before letting me in. Then we changed roles and did it again,” Liu Lei said. “We learned a lot while having fun at role-playing.”

“The teacher told us that we should try not to go out alone. If someone tries to do bad things to us, we may hit their eyes or noses. Then we should quickly run into a crowded place,” said Zhou Lan, a 13-year-old boy.

【推荐1】Several months ago, an old man in Dalian failed to travel by underground. At the station, he was asked to show his health QR code (健康二维码) on the smartphone, “What is QR code?” the old man asked. “I have money to buy a ticket. Why do I need a smartphone?” In the end, he had to leave the station.

Over 10 years ago, people still had to leave their house to buy a train ticket or pay their bills. Now all these can be done with a smartphone, and in some cases, only with a smartphone. On the one hand, the fast development of science and technology is making our life easier. But on the other hand, it is creating problems for old people.

Many old people have devoted (奉献) their whole life to working for the society, but now it seems the society has left them behind. What can be done to make a difference.

Many old people have physical problems, poor eyesight makes reading on small screens difficult. And their less sensitive (灵敏的) fingers make it hard for them to use touch screens. Perhaps these are problems that smartphone makers should try to deal with.

【推荐2】Have you ever noticed how many calories (卡路里) you eat in a day? There is a special convenience store opened in the Chengdu Youth Palace. If you “shop” there, you can find out how many calories there are in different foods.

The store was opened on May17th, 2022. It’s part of the “Know Your Food” program of the UNICEF. The purpose of the program is to make children and young people know more about foods and help them make healthy choices about their diet.

People can take them to the self-service counter (柜台) to see how many calories they have. In addition, the store offers many models and cartoons to help people understand which foods are very good for them and which foods they should eat less often.
