Hank and his brother, Isaac, walked into home and called their mom. As they went into the living room, they saw their mom lying (躺) on the floor.

Hank shook her and shouted, “Mommy, wake up!” She didn’t answer, so Hank tried again.

Isaac began to cry.

“Don’t worry, Isaac. It will be OK,” Hank said, but he had to think quickly. He was only eight years old. What could he do? Then he remembered how Grandma used to play a game with him. She would pretend to be an 911 operator (接线员). She would ask him questions like “What is your name?” “What is your address?” He had learned all the right answers, so he knew what to do. Hank took up the phone and called 911. A lady answered the phone and said, “What is your emergency (紧急情况)?” Hank was shaking so he took a deep breath and said, “Hello! My name is Hank Robinson. My mom is on the floor. She looks like she is sleeping, but I can’t wake her up.” Then the lady asked Hank all the questions he had practiced with Grandma. He remembered to speak loudly and clearly because it was important. If the lady did not understand him, she could not help Mom. So again Hank said, “I live at 1203 Oak Street in Madison.”

Soon two doctors came to help. They helped Mom to wake up. Finally, she sat up and began to feel better. She smiled and thanked the doctors, and they told her that Hank was a hero because he helped save his mom’s life.

10 . 阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。

In an emergency, you can follow the steps of Dr ABC to help to save a patient in time.

Danger: Make sure that you and the patient are not in any danger or at risk. Before going near the patient, you must make sure that the area is safe.

Response: Shake and shout—Make sure to see if the patient will respond to you or not. Gently shake his or her shoulders asking, “What has happened?” or “Open your eyes.” 3If the patient doesn’t give any answer, it means he or she has lost consciousness (意识).

Airway: Make sure that the patient’s airway (呼吸道) is clear. Don’t try to takeout anything from the mouth unless it is right near the edge (边缘) of the mouth.

Breathing: Check the breath. Use your ear to check his or her breath. 4 Place your ear above the patient’s mouth to listen and feel breath on your face.

Circulation: Check the pulse (脉搏). Use two fingers (not your thumb) on the patient’s wrist or neck.

These steps are in the order of importance. You should never change it. Besides, remember to give help in the right order every time. For example, problems with the airway should be dealt with first, then problems with breathing, and soon. But if there is danger which could hurt you, you should deal with it first so that you don’t become a patient too!
