One afternoon after school had finished , Peter and Jane were walking along the street. Suddenly they heard a big noise.

“Come on” shouted Peter.“That sounds like an accident. Let’ see what’s happened.”

They ran to where the noise came from. As soon as they got there, they could see what had happened. A small car had knocked into the side of a truck. The accident had happened in a quiet street with only four houses in it. Peter and Jane were the first ones to reach the site. No other people came.“We must be the only ones who saw the accident,” said Jane. They found that both the car driver and the truck driver were hurt.

“Peter,” said Jane,“ Run back down the road to Mrs Day’s house. Ask her to call the policemen and the ambulance. Hurry. I’ll stay here.”

A schoolgirl saved her father's life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic (过敏的) reaction which stopped his heart.

Izzy, nine, restarted father Colm's heart by stamping (踩) on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing.

Izzy's mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father, so decided to use CPR.

However, she quickly discovered her arms weren't strong enough, so she stamped on her father's chest instead.

Debbie then took over with some more conventional chest compressions (按压) until the ambulance arrived.

Izzy, who has been given a bravery award by her school, said: "I just kicked him really hard. My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn't strong enough to use hands. I was quite scared. The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse. My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his

"She's a little star," said Debbie, "i was really upset but Izzy just took over. I just can't believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid. Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up. Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and we've got to see an expert."

UGG boots have been a winter?weather fashion for several years now, combining function, comfort, warmth and even some style. What many UGG?enthusiasts don't know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and cause foot problems.

Doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees.

Dr. Ian Drysdale, head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside, it will lead to more ankle, knee, hip and back problems. “These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesn't mean it's good or right,” he said. “The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. It's a slipper. You wouldn't normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something that's indoor. If you decide to wear your pajamas outside all the time, someone will come up and say it's not a good idea.” Dr. Drysdale explained that the feet issues become a particular problem among young teenage girls, whose bones are “plastic” and developing when they are growing. “If that structure is developing in an inappropriate way,” he said,“then the ultimate structure will be deformed.”

Mike O'Neill, a consultant surgeon, said,“As the foot slides around, you get wear and tear (磨损) on the joints on the inside of the foot. The ankle is in the wrong position, the thigh bone also changes position, and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads to back problems.”

UGG Australia, who makes the designer version of the boots, told The Daily Wirror that their boots are “comfort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware of “knockoffs (仿制品)” which lack reinforced heels in their boots.

1.Teenage girls prefer to wear UGG boots because of the following EXCEPT ________.

A.design B.comfort C.quality D.warmth

2.According to Dr. Ian Drysdale, ________.

A.there is a possibility that bacteria will multiply in UGG boots

B.wearing UGG boots will lead to more ankle and toe problems

C.it's not a good idea to wear boots like UGG outside all the time

D.teenage girls' bones are plastic enough to wear UGG boots

3.The underlined word “deformed” is closest in meaning to ________.

A.shaped B.strengthened C.reformed D.damaged

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.Potential Harm of UGG Boots

B.The Popularity of UGG Boots

C.The Unique Design of UGG Boots

D.Benefits of UGG Boots

 

Watching television makes it easier for toddlers (学步的孩子) to kick and scream, according to a US study.Children under two should not watch any TV.The longer they sit in front of TV,the worse their behavior becomes.

Just having the TV on in the background, even if the child wasn't watching it,was also connected to troublemaking behavior although the relationship wasn't as strong, said the researchers.

“Parents should be smart about TV use,”researcher Jennifer Manganello from the University at Albany, New York, said.

“They should limit the time that children use TV, pay attention to the content of TV programs,and consider how TV is used throughout the home.”

The study looked at 3,128 women from 20 US cities who had a child between 2005 and 2008.

While there was some diversity(差异) of education among the women,one?third hadn't graduated from high school.

Two?thirds of the mothers said their three?year?old children watched more than two hours of TV a day,and the average viewing time for children was around three hours.On average,the TV was on for about five additional hours on a common day.

After accounting for factors(因素) such as living in a violent neighborhood,scientists also found watching TV was strongly connected to behavior such as hitting others,having angry moods,being disobedient(不服从的),and screaming a lot.

The researchers thought that children may see violence on TV,and spend less time on positive development tasks such as reading or playing.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests no TV at all for children at two and younger,and two hours a day or less for older kids.

1.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Children should choose positive programs.

B.Watching TV can make children violent.

C.Children should keep away from TV.

D.Parents should watch less TV.

2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A.Children can watch good programs.

B.Children will be affected as long as the TV is on.

C.It's OK that the TV is on if children don't watch it.

D.Children's trouble?making behavior is mainly caused by watching TV.

3.What can be learned about the study between 2005 and 2008 from the passage?

A.The women studied have different jobs.

B.The TV was on for about three hours.

C.Most women allowed their children to watch TV.

D.Most women studied hadn't graduated from high school.

4.Children who spend much time watching TV will ________.

A.become easily angry

B.be influenced by others

C.be popular with others

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

Recite and repeat in conversation.

When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

Ask the other person to recite and repeat.

You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.

Admit you don’t know.

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy (同情) if you say, “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”

Use association (联系).

Connect each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng — tall, black hair.” To strengthen your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

Go early.

Consider going early to meetings, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others — a review for you.

1.How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?

A. They will be moved. B. They will be annoyed.

C. They will be delighted. D. They will be discouraged.

2.If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may .

A. tell him the truth B. tell him a white lie

C. ask him for pity D. ask others to help you

3.When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember _______.

A. all their names B. a couple of names first

C. just their last names D. as many names as possible

4.What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Tips on an important social skill.

B. Importance of attending parties.

C. How to make use of associations.

D. How to recite and repeat names.
