One day a young man called Jim was told to take the  1  examination the next day．He was   2   so much that he couldn’t get to sleep．He wouldn’t join the army because he was in love with a beautiful girl．“If only I could find a  3   to make the doctor believe there is something    4  with my body,” he thought and thought．Suddenly, a good idea crossed his mind.

The next morning Jim got to the   5   on time and was led into a large room．He hurriedly found a seat to sit down and took out an out-of-date newspaper,   6   to read it．Soon it was his turn to be examined．When he came up to the doctor, the old man took a quick and sharp look at him．Then in a  7   he ordered Jim to take off his clothes, go straight to a corner and sit down on a chair there．No sooner had he seated himself on the chair than he heard the doctor murmuring to his assistant: “Finished! The boy is  8   up to the standard.”

“How can you draw such a  9   like that before you give me a 10  check? Jim shouted at the doctor．

“Don’t be impetuous（冲动）, young man! Put on your clothes, and then I’ll  11   it to you,” the doctor said   12  .“You said we didn’t examine you carefully, but I don’t think it

  13   for us to do that．When I told you in a low voice to take off your clothes, you did it as I told you．It shows you have good  14  ．When you were asked to go and sit on the chair, you did so, too．It shows you can see any subject within a certain distance． 15  , you were found reading the newspaper just now, and we are certain you are a man of intelligence.

  16 , you’re perfect in mind and body.” 

Half a year later, Jim was killed on the battlefield．At the news his girlfriend nearly went

 17  ．She kept weeping．“Don’t be like that, my dear.” It was an old man’s  18   voice．“Your Jim died a real man．He   19  his life to the people all over the world．It is right that we should be proud of him…” Saying this, the old man, her father, was choked（哽咽）．His only   20   was that he had never had Jim know who he was．This old man was the medical officer who had given Jim the health check．

 First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. It may save a life or improve certain vital signs including pulse, temperature, a clear airway, and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim’s condition from turning worse and provide relief from pain. First aid must be done as quickly as possible. In the case of the seriously injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life.

First-aid measures depend upon a victim’s needs and the provider’s level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to permanent spinal(脊柱)injury and paralysis(瘫痪).

Despite the variety of injuries possible, several principles of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess the scene, asking other people or the injured person’s family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and pre-existing conditions such as diabetes(糖尿病)or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for a medical card that describes special medical conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.

First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life-threatening conditions exist. One method for evaluating a victim’s condition is known by the acronym(首字母缩写词)ABC, which stands for:

A---Airway: is it open and clear?

B---Breathing: is the person breathing? Look, listen, and feel for breathing.

C---Circulation: is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding extremely? Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.

1. First aid may bring about all the following results EXCEPT____.

2. Before we administer first aid to a victim, it is very important for us ____.

3.In administering first aid to a victim, you should first of all ____.

4.The purpose of the passage is to tell the reader _____.
