Recently, a 9-year-old boy showed a Georgia woman how to perform CPR on her newborn baby.Susanna Rohm said she had experienced a parents worst nightmare (噩梦) her 2-month-old son, Isiah, was not breathing. “I noticed he looked pale. I looked at his arms and his legs and they were limp (无力的),” Rohm told a local newspaper. “Then I noticed that he looked like he wasnt alive.” In dismay, she dropped and broke her cellphone. Rohm had to run into the street, screaming for help.“I had him in my arms and screamed over and over. Then I ran outside. I saw two boys playing across the street, and I yelled, Go and ask your parents to call 911,” Rohm said. But the two boys were able to do more than that. Nine-year-old Ethan Wilson took action, showing Rohm how to perform CPR on little Isiah while ten-year-old Rocky Hurt helped as well.Rocky said he had learned the CPR technique from a poster in a health class at their school, Sedalia Park Elementary. “I was thinking wed better give her a helping hand instead of getting scared,” Ethan said. “I told her to push on the babys chest five to ten times a minute with only two fingers, tilt back the babys head, plug the babys nose and breathe into the babys mouth,” Ethan said in an interview.At last, Isiah began crying and was breathing again. He spent two nights in a local hospital. “If the little boy hadnt shown me what to do right there, my baby would probably not be alive right now,” Rohm said.59. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that in the US .A. CPR is considered important by most peopleB. most children are taught how to perform CPRC. many parents dont know how to perform CPRD. kids must learn how to perform CPR on babies60.

What Rohm said in the last paragraph shows that she was .A. grateful B. regretful C. surprised D. ashamedCEver walked to the shops only to find, once there, youve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years weve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray hair. But now a new book suggests that weve got it all wrong.According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s much later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years its been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when were younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older weve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.63. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that _.A. the young are better at handling important thingsB. wrinkles and gray hair are the only symbols of agingC. aging leads to the decline of the function of the brainD. peoples brains work best between their 40s and 60s64. The continuing research has found older people perform better on _.A. vocabulary tests B. number abilityC. perceptual speed D. body balance65. People are happier with aging because _.A. they know how to share feelings B. they learn to value the time leftC. they cannot focus on negative aspectsD. they do not realize the possible dangers66. What is the best title of the passage?A. People get happier with age. B. People get more forgetful with age.C. People get wiser with age. D. People get more self-aware with age.DIt is reported that a record-breaking high-speed rail will connect Inner Mongolia in the north to Hainan in the south.
