CPR is an effective form of first aid     1     (give) to the victim whose heart stops. It can increase the chance of the victim’s     2     (survive). So CPR can be a real lifesaver.

How to give CPR? There are     3     (simple) three steps. Firstly, lay the victim     4     his back and do chest compression. In this way, it keeps blood flowing to the brain, heart and other organs. To perform chest compression, place one hand over     5     other and press firmly on the victim’s chest many times in a row,     6     (push) at least 2 inches deep. Then after compression is completed, check the victim’s situation to see whether he     7     (breathe). If not, perform mouth-to-mouth artificial breathing,     8     helps to move the oxygen down into the victim’s lungs. And the chest compression should start again right after the two breaths     9     (give).

Learn CPR, for you never know when you might need it. And     10     feels good to know that you could help in case of emergency.

First aid is     1     temporary form of help given to someone who suddenly     2     (fall) ill or gets injured before a doctor can be found. Often the illness or injury is not serious, but there are other times     3     giving first aid quickly can save lives.

If your skin gets     4     (burn), first aid is a very important first step. First, remove clothing     5     (use) scissors. Next, cool burns     6     (immediate) with cool but not icy water. Then, dry the burned area gently.     7     (final), cover the burned area with a dry, clean bandage that will not stick     8     the skin. If the     9     (injury) are second or third-degree burns, it is vital     10     (get) the victim to the hospital at once.

The Chinese began to accept Western medicine as early as the beginning of 20th century,     1    Chinese medicine is still in doubt among Western people. To them, Chinese medicine, like ancient China, is mysterious and beyond     2     (believe).

Chinese medicines, most of them     3     (be) originally natural herbs, are made through having these materials simmered, roasted, or fried without having specific standards. This is the main reason for     4    they’re not recognized internationally. Chinese medicines usually appear in     5     form of pills, tablets and most commonly herb teas. They are used     6     account of their power in aid of recovery and they tend to produce long­term effects. They might be     7     (slow) in curing the patient of the disease, but they have less serious side effects even if     8     (take) frequently, for each medicinal herb is prescribed (开处方) for the benefit of the patient, causing no harm to the liver or the kidneys.

It is obvious that no matter how strange they may seem to Westerners, Chinese medicines     9     (use) for thousands of years and prove to be extremely effective. It’s up to us     10     (promote) the precious heritage.

Tu Youyou, the first female Chinese scientist     1     (receive) a Nobel Prize, was born in 1930, Zhejiang Province. Between 1951 and 1955, she studied medicine     2    university. Later, she went on     3     (complete) further training courses in traditional Chinese medicine. In 1969, Tu became head of a team which     4     (intend) to find a cure for malaria. She collected a large amount of data and     5     (refer) to the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine. On 4 October 1971, she managed     6     (make) qinghao extract. However, in order to solve the problems they met, they even volunteered     7     (test) on themselves first. In November 1972, they     8     (succeed) isolated the most effective part of the extract and named it qinghaosu     9     is a key part of many malaria medicines. In her Nobel Lecture, she encouraged scientists to further explore the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine and raise it to a     10     (high) level.

The skin is     1     essential part of your body and is its largest organ. You have three layers of skin     2       functions are very complex: it warns you when things are too hot or cold and     3     (give) you your sense of touch. You can get burnt by     4     (variety) things. Giving first aid is the first and most important step in the treatment of burns.

Burns     5     (divide) into three types, depending     6       the depth of skin damage. Different degrees of burns have different     7     (characteristic). When giving first aid in the treatment of burns, you can remove clothing     8     (use) scissors if necessary, unless the fabric is stuck to the burnt skin. Place burns under cool running water,     9     (particular) within the first ten minutes. Cover the burnt area with a loose clean cloth. If burns are on the face, make sure the victim can still breathe. If the victim is suffering from second or third-degree burns, it is urgent     10     (take) him/her to the hospital at once.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) isn’t     1     (wide) supported by most Westerners.However,this is starting to change.TCM will be included in the new version of the International Classification of Diseases(ICD),which     2     (bring) out by the WHO in the near future.This is the first time for TCM to be included in the ICD,     3       (serve) as the international standard for diseases and health conditions. 

China has been making every effort     4     ( promote) TCM overseas over the past three years,according to a report     5       (publish) by Xinhua News Agency.In 2015,Chinese scientist Tu Youyou won     6     Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.She said     7     (she) discovery of the drug that can cure malaria(疟疾) was inspired by traditional Chinese medicine. 

The inclusion of TCM in the ICD is a mainstream acceptance that will have great influence around the world.TCM has seen some     8     (grow) in other countries for all these years.It is reported     9     a number of famous foreign people use it.For example,during the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics,US swimmer Michael Phelps was seen using cupping.Cupping is a traditional Chinese medical practice which has been around     10     more than 2,000 years.

Tu Youyou is universally acknowledged as a scientist of great     1     (achieve). Born in Ningbo, China, Tu Youyou graduated from Peking University Medical School in 1955. In 1967, she was chosen into a research team     2     was formed by the Chinese government with the aim of discovering a new treatment     3     malaria. She and her teammates examined over 2,000 old medical texts,     4     (evaluate) 280,000 plants for their medical properties, and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria. As a     5     (commit) and patient scientist, she never acknowledged defeat whatever difficulty she met. After failing to draw out useful extract by     6     (boil) the sweet wormwood, she began even     7     (careful) thinking and research work. She drew     8     conclusion that boiling the sweet wormwood destroyed     9     (it) medical properties. So she used a lower temperature     10     (draw) out the extract and finally she succeeded.
