1 . All seven people have been rescued from a stricken cable car high above a remote Pakistan valley, a spokesman for the state-run emergency services said.
Pakistani authorities said army commandos (突击队), with the help of civilians, made the final rescues after an operation lasting hours. Floodlights were installed and a ground-based operation reached the remaining two people late on Tuesday more than 12 hours after their cable car was damaged, leaving it hanging unsteadily at an angle.
A helicopter had earlier plucked two children to safety before darkness. High winds meant the air rescue had to be called off. Rescuers used the cable keeping the cable car from plunging (突然向下冲) into the valley as a zip line to rescue three more children. Relatives of those trapped prayed while watching the operation and anxious crowds gathered on both sides of the valley, which is in a mountainous area of Battagram, about 125 miles (200km) north of Islamabad.
Several military helicopters had earlier in the day flown sorties and an airman was lowered by a set of bands to deliver food, water and medicine. Commandos could be seen on local TV trying to lower themselves on ropes from the helicopters to the cable car. An expert confirmed that the rescue was delicate because the wind created by the helicopters’ blades could further weaken cables holding the car up in the sky.
The children trapped were teenage boys studying at the government high school. The school is located in a mountainous area and there are no safe crossings, so it’s common to use the chairlift. People who live in the northern mountainous regions of Pakistan often use chairlifts for transport from one village to another. In 2017, 10 people were killed when a chairlift cable broke sending passengers plunging into a valley in a mountain hamlet near the capital, Islamabad.

2 . There have been several incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes (人群的蜂拥), the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 155 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking there’s little you can do to survive a stampede.
The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale.
If there’s a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct (本能) may be to fight back and push the opposite way.
As you move forward with the crowd, it’s best to move in a diagonal (对角线的) direction so you can potentially angle your way out of the situation. The goal is to get to the edge of the stampede where it’s less likely that you’ll end up stuck at a choke-point, like a doorway.
In many stampede events, people die simply because they are crushed to the point they can’t breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer-like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room — literally.
| A．Another potential way is to shelter yourself. |
| B．But that could be a big mistake, Atlas warns. |
| C．In this case, you don’t necessarily have to wait and let time slip by. |
| D．Namely, to take note of where the nearest exits are. |
| E．It’s a simple pose, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving. |
| F．Other events, such as a Halloween gathering, are likely to turn deadly. |
| G．Indeed it’s a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape. |
3 . Last week when I was reading at home, my younger sister rushed in and told me an old man was lying on the ground in front of our building. I immediately took my first-aid (急救) kit and ran downstairs. He was suffering a slight heart attack. And I performed CPR on him. Luckily, an ambulance came soon and he was taken to hospital. Later that day I was told by the hospital what I did helped rescue the old man’s life. I was happy to hear that.
You can gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to act in an emergency. You never know when you might need them — maybe at home, at work, at school or on holiday. If you have the skills, you can act whenever you’re needed.

4 . Science labs are a place of great excitement and learning, but it is important to stay safe and alert at all times.
Know about all safety procedures.
Report all spills (溢出), injuries, or broken equipment to your teacher. Immediately after a spill or breakage occurs, it must be reported to your teacher. Never try to clean up a chemical spill without consulting your teacher first.
Dress for lab work. Do not wear bulky (笨重的) clothing as this will be difficult to manage and may come into contact with a flame or chemicals.

5 . Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)(心肺复苏) is a hands-on emergency intervention used to restore breathing and a heartbeat in a person who has gone into cardiac arrest.
Time is of the significance, but before you attempt CPR on someone, you’d better follow these steps:
Try to wake the person. Tap on the person’s shoulder firmly and ask“Are you OK?” in a loud voice. Move on to the next steps after five seconds of trying to wake the patient.
Call 911. Anytime a patient won’t wake up, call 911 immediately.
Check for breathing. Tilt(倾斜) the patient’s head back to open the airway and determine if they are breathing.
| A．Put the person on their back. |
| B．Make sure the environment is safe. |
| C．Place your hands on the person’s chest. |
| D．If you can’t, you can ask a bystander to call. |
| E．Check to see if the person has a pulse and is breathing. |
| F．If the patient doesn’t take a breath after 10 seconds, start CPR. |
