When students at Olathe East High School in the US got their CPR (心肺复苏术) training this winter, 15-year-old Seth Johnson paid close attention. Two weeks after his training, Seth helped his elder sister Claire use CPR to save their dad when he had a heart attack (心脏病发作).

That day, their father Mark was in their home when he suddenly felt quite sick. Then, things got worse. Hearing their dad shouting, Claire ran in and helped Seth pull their dad off the couch and lay him flat (平的). Claire called 911 and then started CPR.

Claire put her hands on the center of her dad’s chest (胸部) and began to push hard and fast about twice per second. She pushed on his chest 30 times, then gave two rescue breaths (人工呼吸).

Claire once took the same training course Seth did at school. After about four minutes of heavy chest compressions (胸部按压), she was tired and Seth had to take over. About two minutes later, medical workers arrived. Mark spent five days in hospital, but has since fully recovered.

Recent studies have shown that CPR saves less than 20 percent of people in these kinds of situations. But experts say it’s still worth trying. And the earlier it’s given, the more successful it’s likely to be. The American Heart Association has encouraged more schools to offer CPR training. As of last year, 38 states had laws asking students to learn it.

FUTURE VIEW

It will be great if there is some kind of fuel(燃料)we can use in cars that won’t produce any pollution. I guess there are scientists right now trying to do that, and I hope they’ll succeed because the world would be a much cleaner place, wouldn’t it?

Charlie

I think it will be great if they invent something so that we only have to sleep for one or two hours every day. Then we’d all have much more time to do things and to enjoy ourselves. Life would be better, I think, and everyone would do a lot more with their lives.

Miguel

If I could choose anything, I’d go for a time machine so that I could go back and do some things differently. Of course, It will be great if there that’s impossible— but wouldn't it be great if it was possible? I wish I could go back in time to when I was a kid and say some of the things in a different way!

Hannah

Well, of course, the best thing is medicine for rally bad diseases(疾病).A lot of scientists are working very hard to stop diseases like Ebola, a terrible disease that has killed many thousand people in Africa. So if they found a special treatment for Ebola, or a way of completely preventing it, life would be easier in so many places.

Isabella

I wish there was a machine that did homework! Wouldn’t tat be fantastic? But I guess teachers wouldn’t be very happy.
