【推荐1】It’s Good to Ask for Help

Part of growing up is learning how to work things out for yourself. However, you don’t have to struggle alone all the time.     1    

When you might need help

There are lots of reasons why you could need help, for example, with schoolwork, learning a new skill, or when you feel sad, worried or angry. When you find something difficult, or it takes a long time to make progress, you may feel discouraged. These are all signs that you need help.

What stops you asking for help

Asking for help isn’t always easy. You might feel red-faced that you need help, or you think asking for a helping hand is a sign of weakness.     2    

Angela McMillan, a counsellor (顾问) who advises young people, says asking for help can also feel risky, especially when you are not sure who to ask.

Asking for help is brave

Everyone finds things difficult sometimes — you’re not the only one.     3     “Letting someone in, believing in them and asking them to listen to you and help you solve a problem takes great courage,” she said.

Asking for help is good for you

    4     There are other benefits too. By asking for help, you practice speaking up for yourself and saying what you need. It shows you how someone else might feel when they’re struggling, which means you could be more able to offer a hand when someone needs it.

根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。

A．I was really pleased that I had asked for help.

B．McMillan believes asking for help is an act of bravery.

C．These thoughts make it hard for you to turn to another person.

D．Learning how to ask others to lend a hand is also an important life skill.

E．When you ask for help, it makes you less worried, and it usually produces a better result.

【推荐2】左栏是5个人情况的描述，右栏是七种救护的办法，请为每个人选择一种合适的救护办法，并将其字母编号写在题号前的括号内。

1    . May often helps her mother cook meals in the kitchen. Today she was careless and cut her fingers while cutting meat. But it was not a bad cut.     2    . Bill has a good habit. Every afternoon he plays football with his classmates after class so that he can keep healthy. But just now he hurt his right foot badly because he kicked the ball too hard.     3    . Nancy likes swimming in the river and today she got drowned while she was swimming across the river.     4    . David has a bad habit. He often plays games with his friends on the street. Unluckily he was knocked down by a car this morning and lost consciousness (知觉) later.     5    . Peter lives on the 20th floor in a tall building. He has to use the lift to take him up and down every day. But this afternoon there was a big fire on the 15th floor in his building.

A. While you see someone get drowned (溺水) in the river, you’d better call for help first. Do not swim to him or her alone especially when the river is fast flowing. B. If you find somebody knocked down by a car or truck, you are supposed to call for the doctor first of all. Then you stay with him or her. Don’t help him or her stand up because we don’t know how badly he or she hurt. C. If you are unlucky to cut one of your fingers down in the kitchen, you have to go to the hospital at once to fix it up again. Never put off or your finger can’t be connected to your body. D. Foot hurting is often seen in football games. But you can’t put some medicine on the foot right away. You’d better do it after 24 hours, at least 12 hours, or the hurt may get even worse. E. Fire is often seen in our daily life. If it is a small one, you can put it out with the fire extinguisher. You don’t need to go out or call the firemen. F. Sometimes you may cut your fingers by accident. Don’t worry. If it is a small cut, just clean the cut and paste a band-aid to cover it. You don’t need to go to hospital. G. When you meet a big fire and you can’t put it out easily, you must try your best to get out of the danger. Don’t escape from the lift, or you may get trapped in it. Then call the firemen for help.
