Co-organized by the Hong Kong St Johns Ambulance Corp and the Beijing Emergency Medical Centre, it aims to teach first aid and show people how to escape from disasters. More than 100 people took part in the training. Most of them were selected from high-risk occupations where the incidence of accidents and disasters is much higher-public security officers, firemen, hotel personnel, and club employees, for example. Volunteers in first aid also joined in. “Before the training class, I had almost no idea about first aid. It will be very helpful to me, because I will know what to do the next time I encounter a traffic accident. Maybe I will be able to save a life,” said Wang Chunquan, a long-distance bus driver from the Beijing Bafangda Transport Company. Fine arts publishing house editor Wang Taijun decided to become a first aid volunteer after hearing about it from a friend. “First aid skills would not only help others but also myself if a disaster should suddenly happen,” he said. Emergency rescue doctor Yang Pingfen, from the Beijing Emergency Medical Centre, said many lives could be saved if people knew how to deal with accidents and injuries. He estimated only about one in 150 Beijingers knew how to use first aid. This proportion should increase to one in 60 in time for the Olympic Games in 2020, the municipal government advises.36.

The loneliness of these older people has become an issue that schools are trying to teach children about.On a popular teachers website, there is a classroom activity to help make children aware of the implications of the different generations of the same family living far from each other. Its a story about Mrs. Eiderdown, an elderly lady whose grandchildren have moved to Australia with their parents. She lives alone and rarely sees her family.First of all, the children speculate about Mrs. Eiderdowns life. What does she have for breakfast? What does she do all day? How does she feel about her life?One day, Mrs. Eiderdown decides that she wants a pet to keep her company and puts an advertisement in a local shop window. Then she waits at home to see if anyone will answer her advertisement.A tall thin man rings her doorbell. He is holding a cardboard box. Mrs. Eiderdown chats with the man for ten minutes before she realizes that she hasnt looked inside the box to see what the pet is. She can hear a hissing sound. The children guess what is in the box (a snake). Mrs. Eiderdown thanks the man but says she doesnt think the snake is a good idea.The next time the doorbell rings, theres lady on the doorstep, also carrying a cardboard box. In the bottom of the box, Mrs. Eiderdown sees something black and hairy with eight legs. Again, the children say what they think it is (a spider). Mrs. Eiderdown thanks the lady for her kindness but says that a spider is not the sort of pet she has in mind.At last, the little girl next door brings her a dog. Mrs. Eiderdowns life improves a lot because of the dog. More importantly, of course, the little girl, whose own granny lives a long way away, starts to visit Mrs. Eiderdown more often. This interactive classroom idea has led to a greater awareness among children about the possible loneliness of older people who live quite near them.40. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Children get to know about the trouble of the elderly.B. Neighbours help select pets for Mrs. Eiderdown.C. Society helps the lonely people in the UK.D. Schools send pets to the lonely elderly.41. When Mrs. Eiderdown advertised for a pet, _.A. she was offered a frightening, hissing dogB. her neighbours daughter gave her a lovely dogC. a thin woman wanted to give her a large spiderD. a man brought her a snake and a spider in a box42. What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean?A. They talk about how she feels about being old.B. They try to experience her loneliness.C. They try to imagine how she lives.D. They write about her life story.43. What can we infer from the passage?A. The little girl often visits her own granny.B. The people who offer pets are the ladys neighbours.C. The farther the elderly live, the more lonely they feel.D. The little girl begins to care more about Mrs Eiderdown.(C)The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Bananas 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didnt have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfectteeth.When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where its not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “Whats up?” I asked him.“II dont have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir.” he said. “Thank you very much!”When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if hes a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didnt know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.“Oh, gosh! Long time.”“Are you in school now?” I asked.He nodded.“Thats good,” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “Whats wrong?” I asked. “Its a gift.”He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “Ive been waiting to give these to you.”44. What was the authors first impression of the boy?A. He seemed to be poor and greedy.B. He seemed to have suffered a lot.C. He seemed younger than his age.D. He seemed good at bargaining.45. The second time the author met the boy, the boy _.A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nutsB. wanted to express his thanksC. asked him for money for his schoolbooksD. tried to take advantage of him46. Why did the author give his money to the boy?A. Because he had enough money to do that.B. Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.C. Because he held a higher position in the society.D. Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.47. Which of the following best describes the boy?A. Brave and polite. B. Kind and smart.C. Honest and thankful. D. Shy and nervous. (D)A decade ago Susic Makinster learned she might have a liver problem. Her doctors told her not to worry. So she didnt until three years ago, when she was astonished to learn she had tested positive for hepatitis（肝炎）C, a blood-borne virus she had never heard of. Makinster, then 45, had been living with an infection that would likely stay with her for life and that could eventually destroy her liver and cause her death. Yet she had no idea how or when she had contracted the virus. Hepatitis C wasnt even discovered until 1989. Today an estimated 3.9 million Americans are infected, and most of them still dont know it. Like HIV, hepatitis C is a slowacting virus that can be transmitted by shared needles and blood transfusions. But it is far more rampant. There is no vaccine to prevent its spread, and no reliable treatment. Some 75 percent of people who contract the virus will carry it for life; 20 percent will develop cirrhosis of the liver. Hepatitis C is now the nations leading reason for liver transplantation, and the second leading cause of cirrhosis (after alcohol). It will kill roughly 10,000 Americans this year and that number is expected to triple over the next two decades, as more past infections come to light. Says Surgeon General David Satcher, “This is a major public health crisis.” Until treatment is less hit-or-miss, living with hepatitis C will be a matter of accommodation. Though most people who contracted the virus become chronically infected, many never develop advanced liver disease. Thats partly luck, but not entirely. Giving up alcohol brightens the prognosis(预断), and many sufferers talk of the benefits of reducing stress and getting more rest. Getting vaccinated against hepatitis A and B is also a good idea, since another infection can worsen the disease. And preventing further spread requires some precautions. Experts are divided on the need to practise safe sex, since the virus is normally only in the blood. But they stress the importance of covering open wounds and not sharing razors and toothbrushes.48. According to the passage, the leading cause for liver cirrhosis is _.A. too much drinking B. hepatitis C C. hepatitis A D. hepatitis B49. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. No one who contracts hepatitis C can hope to live long. B. More people have contracted hepatitis C than HIV. C. Alcohol is the chief cause for hepatitis C. D. Hepatitis C is sexually transmitted.50. The number of people who will die of hepatitis C in twenty years will be _. A. 20,000 B. 10,000 C. 30,000 D. 40,00051. All of the following measures should be taken if one is tested positive for hepatitis C EXCEPT _. A. never to practice sex B. giving up alcohol C. getting more rest D. covering open wounds and not sharing razors and toothbrushes ( E )Few creations of big technology capture the imagination like giant dams. Perhaps it is humankinds long suffering at the mercy of flood and drought that makes the idea of forcing the waters to do our bidding so fascinating. But to be fascinated is also, sometimes, to be blind. Several giant dam projects threaten to do more harm than good. The lesson from dams is that big is not always beautiful. It doesnt help that building a big, powerful dam has become a symbol of achievement for nations and people striving to assert themselves. Egypts leadership in the Arab world was strengthened by the Aswan High Dam. Turkeys bid for First World status includes the giant Ataturk Dam. But big dams tend not to work as intended. The Aswan Dam, for example, stopped the Nile flooding but deprived(使丧失) Egypt of the fertile silt that floods left all in return for a giant reservoir of disease which is now so full of silt that it hardly generates electricity. And yet, the myth of controlling the waters continues. This week, in the heart of civilized Europe, Slovaks and Hungarians have come close to sending in the troops in their disagreement over a dam on the
