Tilly fell backwards and her head was hit. She was face down and shaking and at first I thought she was upset. But then I saw she was blue in the face and had stopped breathing. I reacted without thinking and immediately started using the first aid skills I had learned the day before which were so fresh in my mind. I began doing mouth-to-mouth and chest compressions (胸外按压). It probably took about a minute before Tilly started breathing again, but to me it felt like a lifetime.”After getting Tilly breathing again, Sonya called an ambulance and the doctors came. Since then, Tilly has been diagnosed (诊断) with Reflex Anoxic Seizure (反射缺氧发作). Sonya said: “The seizure can happen when theres any unexpected pain, fear or fright. It is just so lucky that the day before it happened, I had been practicing first aid.”The Empowering Parents First Aid course is run by Lancashire Adult Learning.

It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for natureand went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country. One of the first sayings taught to school children is, An apple a day keeps the doctor away. This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an apple polisher. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the apple of our eye. Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America.An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert (甜点) , and made into sweet juice. In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples. Finally, when its time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is the biggest apple of all the American cities. 32. Why was Johnny Appleseed so famous?A.

If you believe you dont have the ability to succeed, then you dont. 36 The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born. 37 Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Dont do that! 38 Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.Dont believe in a clear finish line for goals. Its a good idea to set a general timeline (时间表), but remember that something will be beyond your control. 39 If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when youd like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible. Be sure that you dont see difficulties as failures. Difficulties mean only one thing: its not time for your goal to be completed yet. Thats it! It doesnt mean you failed; it doesnt mean youre weak; it doesnt mean youll never achieve your goals. 40 Youve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties. A. Never give up on yourself. B. Failure only exists in your own mind! C. Thats exactly how failure makes us feel. D. It simply means you have not done enough yet. E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached. F. Make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what! G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项A、B.
