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 chest.”‎ ‎“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.”‎ Truck driver Colm, 35, suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital, but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day. The second attack was serious and he was not able to breathe, his blood pressure dropped suddenly, and his heart stopped for a moment.He has now made a full recovery from his suffering.‎ 29.

And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one-half of the brain “remains more awake” than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.‎ The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home. They call it “first-night influence”. “In Japan they say, ‘If you change your bed, you can’t sleep,’” said Yuka Sasaki, one of the report’s writers. “You don’t sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it.”‎ The researchers measured brain waves (测量脑波) for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart (间隔). They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half. This was during the first deep-sleep period, the researchers said.‎ Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.‎ Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long. So, they don’t know if the left half keeps “watch” all night, or whether it “works in shifts (轮换) with the right half later in the night”. They also do not know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.‎ For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is “looking out for us” in a new place. But it may not help with sleep. That brain activity, at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.‎ ‎32. How many times did the researchers measure brain waves for 35 volunteers?‎ A. Once B. Twice C. Three times. D. Four times.‎ ‎33.Which of the following is one of the questions that remain?‎ A.Whether the new bed keeps you from sleeping.‎ B.How you have trouble sleeping in a new place.‎ C.Why the brain activity is always on the left half.‎ D.What people can do when they can’t sleep well.‎ ‎33.The underlined word “calming” has the closest meaning to “________”.‎ A. pleasing B. different C. serious D. strange ‎35.What is the text mainly about?‎ A.What we will have to do to sleep well.‎ B.How researchers measure brain waves.‎ C.Who doesn’t sleep well in a new place.‎ D.Why it’s harder to sleep in a new place.‎ D My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged (乞求) him. Nothing worked.‎ One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and asked God for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”‎ I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up (哽咽) and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son, but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.‎ Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”‎ 36.

Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. If exams are really making ‎ you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings. Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else. ‎ How to get through exams? Here are some advice: ‎ Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills—how to work when you are in an exam.‎ Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.‎ Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best.‎ Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food.‎ You need exercise to work well. Walk, run, play sport—whatever you enjoy.‎ Stop thinking about the future and failing.‎ If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! 4、Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.‎ If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don’t do it! In fact, don’t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. You cannot change what you have written!‎ To this advice, we could add:‎ If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed. Your mind will still be “going round and round”—thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.‎ ‎（一）根据短文内容简要回答问题。‎ ‎1. Why do some students hate exams?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎2.
