Just 33,526 of London's estimated 3.5 million workers signed up with St John's Ambulance and the British
Red Cross to learn simple first aid last year. The figures coming from a new report show that nine out of 10
people would not know what to do if a colleague was badly hurt, while 72 percent have never attended a
first-aid course.
Doctors describe the situation as appalling and have called for urgent training in schools and the workplace.
Training in first aid should start at an early age and should be taught to everybody at school. First aid is very
important because at best it can save lives and at worst it reduces pressure on hospital rooms. Employers get
anxious when a worker has had some sort of accident in the office or factory and rush them to the
hospital-even if all they require is a bandage.
Last year 20,000 Londoners were trained in first aid by St John's Ambulance, the leading provider in
life-saving courses, and 13,526 were trained by the Red Cross. According to St John's Ambulance, four out of
five parents do not know how to carry out mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (苏醒).
Nick Suggitt, training manager with St John Ambulance, said,"We are training just a tiny part of the number
necessary, and only touching the tip of the iceberg."
"Not enough people know how to save a life, and since many emergencies occur at home or at work, these
skills are often needed to save the life of a friend or a family member."
B. terrible
C. rising
D. challenging
B. many people are unwilling to take the training
C. most people know nothing or very little about first aid
D. 90 percent of people never attend first-aid courses
B. many people are rushed to the hospital with only slight injuries
C. mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is quite important for parents at home
D. a number of people are trained
B. First-aid Training Is Urgently Needed
C. Training in First Aid Is Valuable
D. Not Enough People Know How to Save a Life

What others thought was just an exercise routine to lose weight was, for Chen Yurong, a way to save her son’s life.
The 51-year-old Hubei native knew she had to improve the condition of her liver in order for doctors to cut part of it out — and transplant it into her son’s body.
So in February she went on a diet and marched about 10 km a day. The result was a successful 14-hour operation to save her son from a life-threatening liver disease.
“In order to give my young granddaughter a complete family, I’d like to do everything to save my son,” Chen said before the operation.
While Chen and her 31-year-old son, Ye Haibin, are now in stable condition at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan. He suffers from Wilson’s disease. Health experts said a living organ donation was not the best way for Chen to save her son, considering that about 1 out of 1,000 liver donors die after the transplant operation.
“Living organ donation is just an alternative when there’s no suitable deceased organ donated,” said Chen Shi, an organ transplant expert. “It’s kind of a dilemma facing transplant doctors worldwide whether to do living organ transplantations, which involve potential health risks for the donor(捐献者), particularly in countries like China without robust (健全的) voluntary organ donations after death,” he said.
Last December, when Ye was again rushed to hospital, doctors said that a liver transplant would be the only way to lengthen his life. That’s when Chen made the decision to give part of her own, as it’s even harder and more expensive to get a match from others.
Vice-Health Minister Huang Jiefu previously warned that living organ donations involve risks for both donor and recipient. In the worst cases, both could die, he said. “We have had such tragedies in China before. The best way is to set up a nationwide deceased organ donation system and encourage more people to donate organs for life-saving transplants after death,” he said.

C. not enough people are now willing to donate organs for transplants after death
