power lines outside the home. electric shocks can cause a persons heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are potentially fatal. it is essential for people to learn basic first aid techniques to deal with such emergencies.what to do?if you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, dont touch him/her!if they are still holding the appliance (家用电器) that has given them shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source. under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hand!if you cant turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. you may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.the victim must remain lying down. if they are unconscious, victims should be placed on their side. but they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is absolutely necessary.it is essential to maintain the victims body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else.if the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸)keep the victims head low until professional help arrives.if the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.21. what kind of passage is it?_afirst aid emergency advice. ba horror story. ca news report. dan advertisement.22. the underlined sentence “under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hand！” implies that _.ayou should move the appliance that caused itbyou should pick up the appliance and turn off the electricitycit is very dangerous to touch the appliance with your handsdit is unnecessary to unplug the appliance with your hands23. when a person has got an electric shock, you should _.aseparate the victim from the appliance and let him sit upbkeep the victims head high until

headmasters d. studentscwhen someone gives you advice, listen without judgment, try to find value in what youre hearing, and say “thank you”. this wise advice is easy to understand but hard to practice. ill give you an example from my life when i totally blew itin terms of practicing what i teachin my work i travel constantly. i always put off going to the airport until the last second. my wife, lynda, was sitting next to me in the front seat. i was racing along and not paying much attention. lynda cried out, “look out! there is a red light up ahead. ” being a trained behavioral science professional - who teaches others the value of encouraging advice - i naturally screamed at her, “i know there is a red light up ahead! dont you think i can see?” when we arrived at the airport, lynda didnt speak to me. i wondered why she seemed mad at me. during the flight to new york, i did a cost-benefit analysis(成本效益分析)i asked myself, “what was the cost of just listening when lynda called out the warning? zero. ” i then reasoned, “what was the potential benefit? what could have been saved?” several benefits came to mind, including her life, my life, and the lives of other people i landed in new york feeling ashamed of myself. i immediately called lynda and told her my cost-benefit story. i convinced her, “the next time you help me with my driving, i am just going to say, thank you.” a few months passed, and i had long forgotten the incident. again, i was racing off to the airport, when lynda cried out, “look out for the red light!” i was embarrassed, and then shouted, “thank you!” im a long way from perfect, but im getting better. my suggestion is that you get in the habit of asking the important people in your life how you can do things better. and be ready for an answer. some people may tell you things like “look out for the red light.” when this happens, remember that there is possibly some benefitthen just say, “thank you.”28. what do we know about the author?ahe often runs the red traffic light bhe is gifted in cost-benefit analysische always takes his wifes advice dhe is expert at behavioral science29. the underlined part “blew it” in paragraph 1 probably means “_”alost personal judgmentbforgot the practical methodcfailed to say “thank you”dbecame annoyed with the adviser30. it can be inferred from the passage that people _ashould give their opinions patiently btend to be defensive when given advicechad better study behavioral science dintend to follow others suggestions31. the purpose of the passage is to advise people to _ado a cost-benefit analysis in daily life bdiscover benefitsclearn from the authors experiences dtreasure others suggestionsdas more people use smart phones to pay bills and store personal information, strict password security has become more important than ever. a new study shows that free-form gesturessweeping fingers in shapes across the screen of a smart phonecan be used to unlock phones. these gestures are less likely to be observed and reproduced by others than traditional typed passwords. “all that it takes to steal a password is a quick eye,” said one of the researchers of the study. “with all the personal information we have on our phones today, improving their security is becoming increasingly necessary.” in developing a secure solution to this problem, the researchers studied the practicality of using free-form gestures. with the ability to create any shape in any size and location on the screen, the gestures were popular as passwords. since users create them without following a template(模板), the researchers predicted these gestures would allow for greater complexity. the researchers carried out a create-test-retest experiment where 63 people were asked to create a gesture, recall it, and recall it again 10 days later. the gestures were caught on a recognizer system designed by the team. using this data, they tested the complexity and accuracy of each gesture using information theory. the result of their analysis is that people are favorable to use free-form gestures as passwords. to put their analysis into practice, the researchers then had seven students in computer science and engineering, each with enough experience with touchscreens, try to steal a free-form gesture password by observing a phone user secretly. none of them were able to copy the gestures with enough accuracy. the gestures appear to be extremely powerful against attacks. though the testing is in its early stage and widespread adaptation of this technology is not yet clear, the research team plans to continue to analyze the security and management of freeform passwords in the future. they believe this is the first study to explore free-form gestures as passwords. they will soon publish their findings.32. what can we learn about free-form gestures?ausers must move their fingers in fixed shapes. busers will have to make use of simple gestures.cthey will never be copied by others. dthey are improving mobile security in a way.33. the experiment in paragraph 4 is to test _ of free - form gestures.atemplate bsecurity caccuracy dapplication34. according to the text, the researchers think that _.abetter ways of setting passwords should be developedbit is easy to steal any password with a quick eyecpeople had better not use smart phones to pay billsdpersonal information should not be stored in a phone35. the main purpose of the text is to _.aadvise people to use free-form gestures bdiscuss whether smart phones are safectalk about the practicality of passwords dintroduce the study of a new password第2节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。how to write a news articlewriting a news article is different from writing other
