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!

4 . “To put yourself in someone else’s shoes” means to put yourself in someone else’s condition, especially a bad one. Have you ever tried to put yourself in someone else’s shoes before? If you have, let’s share the story together.
It was a true story in an African country. The white government had a public rule. It was that black people could not go to some places that white people could. White people tried to stay away from black people because they thought white people were more excellent than black people.
One day a white girl from America, Becky, lay on the beach to take a break from swimming in the sea. Then she fell asleep. When she woke up, the sun went down already. She was so hungry that she walked into a restaurant near the beach. She picked a chair by the window and sat down. She kept waiting for about 15 minutes. No waiter took her order. She got really angry. Finally, she decided to find the manager.
When she stood up and was ready to shout at the manager, she saw a large mirror before her. When she looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes filled up with tears.

5 . 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.

The developers tried to make the app's main character Star popular with both boys and girls. Star also wears a hearing aid(助听器).
“We created StorySign to make it possible for families with deaf children to enjoy an exciting story time,” said Andrew Garrihy, Huawei's CMO for Western Europe. “We hope that by reminding people to understand deaf children better, they'll be encouraged to support one of the charity partners we are working with across Europe.”
There are about 32 million deaf children around the world. Many of them have trouble learning to read, this might because of no good way to turn written text into sign language. Now the app gives deaf children a great tool.

6 . A few days ago, my pet dog died. But before you feel too sorry for me or my dog, you should know that Matty-we named her after the famous baseball player Christy “Matty”. Mathewson-was about 17 years old. She lived a long, happy life before she got so sick that we had to put her to sleep.
I have to say that when we first saw Matty, I did not want a pet. But Matty turned out(结果是) to be a wonderful dog. Matty was a big part of our family life for years.
That’s a good lesson. Sometimes things don’t turn out the way you thought they would. They turn out better. See if this sounds familiar to you. You join a sports team. After some practice or games, you find you don’t like the team as much as you thought you would. Maybe you don’t like the coach or the other kids. Or perhaps you find out you’re not going to be the next LeBron James or Mia Hamm. You want to give up, but your mum and dad say you have to at least finish the season. You don’t want to, but you stay with the team. And, surprise: Things get better. You make a friend or make a few good plays. Maybe the coach tells you you’re going to be a good player.
Most kids and adults (成年人) are pretty sure they know exactly what they want. For example, I was positive years ago that I didn’t want a dog. But life is full of surprises. We change with time. That’s why it’s important for us to try new foods, new hobbies and new sports.

B.The writer didn’t want Matty when he first saw her. |
C.The writer learned a lesson from his pet dog. |
D.Most kids know exactly what they are good at. |
A.have a pet | B.try new things | C.join a sports team | D.care our pet |
7 . You can do pretty much anything you like in Europe. You can go skiing, visit an ancient castle, and admire fine art. Now you have one more choice: you can also have dinner in an underwater restaurant!
The world’s largest underwater restaurant opened in Norway recently. It is named “Under”. The building looks like a huge tube in the water.

8 . On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except Tom Sawyer. Tom’s aunt said he had to paint the fence(围栏). It was thirty yards long and three yards high! When he was working, some boys came along and made fun of him.
Ben was the first one who came happily with an apple in his hand.
“I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to come? Oh, you have to work, don’t you?”
Tom got a little angry, but soon he had a wonderful idea.
“Work?” he said. “I don’t think this is work. It’s fun. Does a boy get a chance like this every day?”
Ben thought about this. He was watching Tom’s every move and was getting more and more interested.
After a while, he said, “Tom, will you let me do some painting?”
“No way. You see, Aunt Polly wants it to be done properly. I’m the only one that can do it right.”
“Oh, please, Tom,” begged(恳求) Ben. “I’ll be really careful. Let me try! I’ll give you my apple in return.”
“Well, all right, Ben,” said Tom. “But you must be careful.”
He gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He started to eat Ben’s apple.
All day, boys passed by and wanted to paint. When Ben got tired, Billy began to paint. He gave Tom his favorite kite. Then Johnny gave him twelve marbles(玻璃球), and so on.

9 . 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.

10 . During the day we work and play, and at night we sleep. Our body rests when we sleep. In the morning we are ready to work and play again. Our body grows most when we are asleep.
