8 . Summer is the swimming season. As fun as a swimming pool can be, it’s also a major safety risk if you don’t take the appropriate precautions (预防措施). Here are some tips for a safe swimming season.

    1     If children or inexperienced swimmers are in the pool, it’s very important to have close supervision. Supervisors should be an adult who can swim well and knows how to save others in a swimming pool. They mustn’t be distracted with their cellphone, or a conversation with another adult. They must take that role very seriously.     2    . More children aged 1 to 4 die from drowning than any other causes of death.

Keep a variety of flotation devices in and around the pool like a life jacket plus pool noodles or a paddle board. That helps when accidents happen.     3    .

Supervisors should also learn basic CPR.

The steps are:

1. Place the person on his back and gently lift his chin and tilt (倾斜) his head back.

2. Place one hand over the other, place them over the patient’s breastbone and administer 30 chest presses.

3. Pinch their nose and place your mouth tightly over their mouth and administer two short breaths

Start again until the patient starts breathing.

    4     Emergency department staff sometimes see significant head injuries and spinal cord injuries that come from careless diving. This happens more among teenagers and young adults. Prevent this by making sure people are only using existing diving boards that are designed to dive into deep water.

Another risk is a condition called “dry drowning”. This happens after a near-drowning event in which water gets into someone’s lungs.     5    . Call 120 or go to the emergency department right away. This is very rare, but can be fatal (致命的).

A．Drowning can happen in an instant

B．Adults should watch over the safety

C．Drowning isn’t the only danger with pools

D．Pool owners should be sure to have a fence around their pool

E．Call for help and start administering CPR as quickly as possible

F．A drowning person having something to grab can get out of the pool quickly

G．That means the airway is closed off and can’t provide someone with enough oxygen

9 . Love is one of life’s greatest motivators. That is exactly what inspired Zack to design a fully electric off-road wheelchair for his girlfriend suffering from paralysis (瘫痪).

Like most wheelchair-users, Cambry has always been restricted to the pavement for most of her adult life. Aside from that, using a wheelchair across long distances makes her shoulders ache. Zack Nelson, her boyfriend, wanted to give her the ability to explore more places conveniently, so he made a special wheelchair for her, which would make it possible.

Zack began by combining two electric bikes and installing a seat in the centre. It worked! Cambry experienced a whole new level of freedom using her new “ride”, and she couldn’t be more grateful to Zack for coming up with it. Fast forward to a year later, Cambry and Zack tied the knot. They also began mass-production of the special wheelchair. Throughout that time, they improved the original design to make it a more reliable off-roader.

While similar vehicles already exist in the market, they said they’re either slow or cost as much as a car. Cambry and Zack wanted to build something quick, light, super long-range, and affordable at the same time. However, coming up with that kind of electric off-roader wasn’t easy.

The toughest challenge when developing the special wheelchair is the price. “We wanted to create something that is affordable for everyone. Finding quality components, and a simple enough design at the cheapest price possibly took quite a bit of time,” said Zack. “But I think we have something now that everyone will be able to enjoy, at a fraction (少量) of the cost of other ‘off-road wheelchairs’ currently on the market.” Another great thing about the vehicle is that it’s silent. Its rider will have no difficulty chatting with their companion while using it. Cambry and Zack are very happy with the fully-electric machine, and they hope that other wheelchair-users will also benefit from it.

1. What was Zack’s motivation to invent a fully electric wheelchair?

A．The market demands.	B．His interest in invention.
C．His love for his girlfriend.	D．The request of his girlfriend.

2. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Walking on the pavement with ease.

B．The special wheelchair made by Zack.

C．The ability to explore more places conveniently.

D．Cambry’s desire to reduce the pain of her shoulders.

3. What does Zack think of the existing wheelchairs in the market?

A．They’re light.	B．They’re expensive.
C．They’re ugly.	D．They’re small.

4. What can we learn about Zack from the last paragraph?

A．He has an ambition to introduce the wheelchair to others.

B．He is satisfied with people’s reaction to the wheelchair.

C．He couldn’t afford the components of the wheelchair.

D．He spent many years designing the wheelchair.
