1 . What should we do if one of our classmates suddenly falls ill or gets hurt? Here are some steps you should follow. But always remember to look for medical care after first aid (急救) if the wound is serious.
Broken bones (骨头) : Take away clothing from the wound. Use an ice pack. Don’t move the hurt body part while waiting for the doctor to arrive.
Animal bites (咬伤) : Wash the bite area with soap and water. Pack the wound with a clean cloth if it is bleeding. If the bleeding has stopped, cover the area with a bandage (绷带) and take the person to the hospital. Make sure you remember what kind of animal it is, so the doctor can find the right way to treat him or her at once.
Fainting (昏厥) : Have him or her lie with feet lifted a little. Don’t move the body if you think there might be wounds from the fall. Make sure he or she can breathe and let in fresh air. Clean the person’s face with a cool cloth.
Nosebleeds:Have the person sit up with his or her head tilted (倾斜) forward a little. Do not have the person tilt his or her head back because this may cause heavy breathing or coughing. Pinch (捏) the lower part of the nose for at least 10 minutes.

2 . Paper, pencil, whiteboard, textbook are the tools you need if you want to go to school. But recently, you can add another one to the list: an iPad.
The popular Apple tablet is not only useful for searching the Internet and watching videos, it is also being used to make learning fun.
Scientists now know that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves, so recently software developers have made iPad applications（应用程序）that look like video games, but have strong educational content. One of the best examples of this new form of teaching application is Futaba, a game in which up to four children try to recognize a spinning（旋转的）object, and then identify what it is. The game can be used to teach English, math, foreign languages, or just about anything,and students love it. Teachers can even make their own questions. The important thing is that children enjoy the game, and don’t even realize how much they are learning!
So the next time you have to choose between making your child study or letting them play games, just remember-they could do both at the same time!

3 . Recently, HUAWEI, one of China's best high-tech companies, has launched(发布) an app called StorySign, that will make it easier for deaf children to read stories.
Some AI skills from HUAWEI are used in the app. They help deaf children read by turning written text into sign language. A character called Star in the app makes it easier to use the app.

5 . When you are learning English, you find it not clever to translate an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. Languages don’t just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change between the two pairs of sentences: “She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.” “I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speakers do.
1. What’s the important thing in English study? (不超过10个词)2. What may happen if the order of words in a sentence is changed? (不超过10个词)
6 . Real policemen can hardly tell any similarity between their lives and what they see on TV.
The first difference is that a policeman’s real life is almost around criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what can be used to prove someone guilty and lead him into prison. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more,he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.
Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.
Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal:as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding a criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks, only a little effort is spent on searching.
Having made an arrest, a policeman really starts to work. He has to prove his case so that he often has to look for a lot of different clues.
A third big difference between the drama policeman and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first, as members of a police force, they always have to behave completely according to the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.
If a policeman has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And most policemen feel the separation between themselves and the rest of the world is deepened. Most citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges are in some ways simple-minded, they suggest not punishing the criminals in a very strict way in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, most policemen feel is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stayed prison. This makes them feel rather bad.

7 . The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between human brains and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memories if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says " Hi! I'm Carlos. " Don't just say "hello". Repeat the person's name and say "Hello, Carlos”
Break a big number into small parts. For example, it's hard to remember 109244153. But if you break it into three parts-109/244/153, it will become easier.
Write down what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially when memorizing formulas（公式）or facts.
Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, it'll become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it's a good idea to, the new things you've learned that day.
Discuss with friends. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right or wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you am certain to improve your memory.
