I began to ______ , but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I found it hard to ______ .

7 . Last year in a cross-country race in Sanqing Mountain, Gentian left everybody far behind, but unexpectedly he felt a sharp pain and saw that there were teeth marks and blood on his calf (腿肚子).    1    But he didn't know that it was a poisonous snake called ''five-step snake'' in Chinese that bit him.

Deep in the mountain, with no phone, Gentian kept running with the injury on his leg for 15 minutes and finally met a local farmer.    2    He happened to know about herbs and medicine. Immediately, he used some herbal medicine to deal with it. Later, the organizing committee's ambulance rushed to take him to the local hospital.

What should you do if you encounter a snake while outside? Remember: first of all, do not excite it. Data show that people who excite snakes are easily bitten.    3    Second, avoid the places where snakes like to stay. Snakes like to bathe in the sun during the day, and usually stay on gravel and cliff edges. Third, if you happen to see a snake crossing through the road, you must stop and wait for it to pass.

    4    First, sit down and try to avoid the acceleration of blood circulation. Then tie the limb 10-30cm above the wound with a strong rope, and curitopenabout1cm above the wound. The cut should be 1-2cm wide, and squeeze blood from top to bottom. Generally, snakebites occur at the ankle.     5     Also, make sure to call the ambulance ASAP.
