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 . Which topic drew the most attention from people around the world in 2019? It was climate (气候) change, according to three well-known English dictionaries.
The Oxford, Collins and Cambridge dictionaries chose “climate emergency”, “climate strike” and “upcycling”, respectively, as their “Word of the Year”. This tells us that climate change was a widely-discussed issue (话题) in 2019.
“Climate emergency” means a situation in which urgent action is needed to reduce climate change. “Climate strike” refers to people leaving work or school to call for more action to protect the environment. “Upcycling” refers to making new items out of old or used items to reduce waste.
Climate change has already affected the world in many ways. Take Venice, for example. Due to climate change, Venice experienced the worst flooding (洪水) it has seen in the last 50 years in 2019. Many stores, restaurants and hotels were flooded. This caused serious damage totaling hundreds of millions of euros (欧元).
Although we’ve known about global warming (全球变暖) for a long time, people have been slow to respond to it. The year 2019 might have been the turning point that will finally encourage us to take responsibility.
“Ten years ago, when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the influences could be seen as an issue for future generations (子孙后代),” Katharine, a climate scientist, told The New York Times. “It’s no doubt our issue now.”
However, simply realizing that climate change is a threat (威胁) is not enough. We must take real action before it is too late.

We can do this in any place and at any time.
How do you teach yourself? The first thing you must do is to read. Read something you are interested in, or you have to read. The second is that you must ask yourself questions. You can write down these questions. A clever student is usually good at asking questions. The third is to answer the questions by thinking hard, by reading the text or other books, and sometimes by asking other people. This is the way of teaching yourself. A lot of students don't know how to teach themselves. But if you keep doing like this for a long time, you are sure to succeed in your study.

9 . China and Western countries may have different ideas about certain animals,but when it comes to pigs,we have somehow reached an agreement-that pigs are ugly,lazy,stupid and shameless.
But the truth is that pigs do have some finer qualities(品质). Science long ago proved that pigs aren't stupid at all. A research shows pigs are "mentally and socially similar to dogs". They like to play. They have good long-term memories. And they know the difference between those who treat them well and those who don't.
There are lovable pig characters in cartoons too. Peppa Pig(小猪佩奇),for example,a UK television series(连续剧)that began in 2004,has now become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries and regions. The four members in the cartoon's pig family teach children from all around the world about love,friendship,and the value of family. And in China,McDull,a young pig who works hard toward his dreams even though he keeps failing,have been a popular cartoon character since 2001.
Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in mind-intelligence,cuteness and patience.

10 . “I'm going to bed earlier tomorrow!”But no matter how we decide,there are still many chances that we break our promises.
This behavior is called “bedtime procrastination”(睡眠拖延症),and results from being short of self-control and our body clock.
Bedtime procrastination is a common problem. According to a study,Among 2,400 people,53 percent of them couldn't follow their sleeping time they had planned,delaying(推迟)it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late,but they couldn't stop doing some other things.
Accordingly,People who usually have trouble resisting temptations(抵制诱惑)and adhering to their intentions(坚持己见)are more likely to delay going to bed.
However,scientists think being short of self-control is not the only problem. Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime.
In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep,scientists studied the sleep patterns(模式)of 108 people. It was found that those who got up late are more likely to delay their bedtime than those who woke up early every morning.
And more surprisingly,night owls(夜猫子)would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday,even though they had to get up early for work and school. It's their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime.
People always think that bedtime procrastination isn't a big problem,but the choices we make that affect(影响)our sleep could finally be pretty important for our health.
