Hypothermia can be mild, moderate or severe. Mild hypothermia is something that most people in cold climates have experienced at one time or another. You feel so cold that your body starts to shake---not very much, but uncontrollably.

The treatment for mild hypothermia starts with getting out of the cold and, if necessary, changing into dry clothes. Drinking warm, non-alcoholic liquids and eating something sugary can stop the shivering. Taking a warm bath or sitting by a fire or doing some exercise can also help the body warm up. These are all common-sense treatments.

But treatment needs to change when people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia. In that situation, their body temperature drops below thirty-five degrees Celsius. They lose the ability to think clearly. Their muscles become stiff. They might bump into things or fall over objects.

Members of search-and-rescue teams will first try to prevent additional heat loss. They will place extra covering around the chest, head and neck of hypothermia victims to keep them warm.

Hypothermia victims need medical help as soon as possible. Working quickly to get people out of the cold is important. However, hypothermia victims must be moved slowly and gently. Any rough or sudden movement can force cold blood from the arms, legs and hands deep into the warmer middle of the body. This sudden flow of cold blood can create shock, a serious condition. It can also cause an abnormal heartbeat.

Members of search-and-rescue teams have a saying that hypothermia victims are not dead until they are warm and dead. The process of "rewarming" a person needs to be done slowly, in a hospital setting.

An extremely low body temperature can cause the heart to beat so slowly that a pulse may be difficult to find. In other words, a person who is suffering from the effects of severe cold may seem dead, but still be alive.

1.According to the text, when a person experience mild hypothermia, _____.

A. he feels cold so he shakes deliberately.

B. he can drink some wine to stop the shaking.

C. he should be sent to the hospital immediately.

D. some common treatments can help him recover.

2.Which of the following expression can take the place of the underlined words?

A. break into B. break down

C. knock into D. sweep up

3.When people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia, which of the following statement is WRONG? _________

A. If hypothermia isn’t treated correctly, the victim’s heart may not beat normally.

B. Their body temperature drops below 35℃.

C. Hypothermia victims seem alive but dead.

D. The rescue workers should first help them warm slowly and gently in a proper situation.

4.What’s the best title for the text? _____.

A. Different kinds of hypothermia

B. Medical help is important in treating hypothermia

C. How to avoid cold-weather injuries.

D. Emergency treatment for different types of hypothermia.

When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.

It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.

"Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint. “She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes ( 条纹) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!

The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.

My mother shut the ear door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, "What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors' trees, but this! Come inside right now!" I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.

"Now go clean it up!" Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.

Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.

1.What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?

A. To introduce Stephanie to her. B. To prevent her from seeing his painting.

C. To show his artwork to her. D. To put the materials back in the yard.

2.In his mother's eyes, the writer _____________.

C. was a problem solver D. always caused trouble

3.The underlined word "rainbow" in the last paragraph refers to _____________.

A. something imaginative and fun B. the stripes on the pavement

C. the rainbow in the sky D. important lessons learned in childhood

4.It can be learned from the passage that parents should______________ .

A. encourage children to paint B. value friendship among children

C. protect rather than destroy children's dreams D. discover the hidden talent in children

Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been shown that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins(维生素) to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor was added to the vitamins-enriched water, the rats did seem to develop it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.

In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.

So, in choosing food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what’s best for them. Apparently, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-formed habits. Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.

1.In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rats’ drinking water to _________.

A. test whether rats know which drink is good for them

B. encourage rats to drink vitamins-enriched water

C. find out rats’ preference in flavor

D. demonstrate the vitamins are tasteless

2.According to the passage, adults eating habits differ from those of babies because _________.

A. adults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their health

B. adults’ eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs

C. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns

D. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods

3.As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that ________.

A. both prefer flavored food and drink

B. both have the same eating patterns

C. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet

D. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors

A new report says plastics are responsible for $13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment. The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference. 1.

Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways2.After a while, it collects in the sea. And plastic never goes away. Plastic is not biodegradable—destroyed by bacteria or natural processes. Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time. The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants.3.That means harmful material may get into our food supply.

4.Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly. Plastic recycling programs also works—where old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products. We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use. We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle it and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.

The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics. 5.And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use. By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment.

But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem.

A. It asks for them to better measure and direct plastic use.

B. But people can make a big difference.

C. Plastics should be gathered together and reused..

D. It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.

E. Then, fish may eat the plastics.

F. The report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situation.

G. The plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters
