Only about 30 percent of people in the US know how to perform CPR (心肺复苏术). Recently, a 9-year-old boy showed a Georgia woman how to perform CPR on her newborn baby.

Susanna Rohm said she had experienced a parent’s worst nightmare (噩梦) — her 2-month-old son, Isiah, was not breathing. “I noticed he looked pale. I looked at his arms and his legs and they were limp (无力的),” Rohm told a local newspaper. “Then I noticed that he looked like he wasn’t alive.” Indismay, she dropped and broke her cellphone. Rohm had to run into the street, screaming for help.

“I had him in my arms and screamed over and over. Then I ran outside. I saw two boys playing across the street, and I yelled, ‘Go and ask your parents to call 911,’” Rohm said. But the two boys were able to do more than that. Nine-year-old Ethan Wilson took action, showing Rohm how to perform CPR on little Isiah while ten-year-old Rocky Hurt helped as well.

Rocky said he had learned the CPR technique from a poster in a health class at their school, Sedalia Park Elementary. “I was thinking we’d better give her a helping hand instead of getting scared,” Ethan said. “I told her to push on the baby’s chest five to ten times a minute with only two fingers, tilt back the baby’s head, plug the baby’s nose and breathe into the baby’s mouth,” Ethan said in an interview.

At last, Isiah began crying and was breathing again. He spent two nights in a local hospital. “If the little boy hadn’t shown me what to do right there, my baby would probably not be alive right now,” Rohm said.

1.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that in the US,　　　　 .

A.CPR is considered important by most people

B.most children are taught how to perform CPR

C.many parents don’t know how to perform CPR

D.kids must learn how to perform CPR on babies

2.What does the underlined word “dismay” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Panic. B.Anger.

C.Excitement. D.Joy.

A.She asked them to call 911 as soon as possible.

B.She asked them to teach her how to perform CPR.

C.She asked them to ask their parents for help.

D.She asked them to help her perform CPR on her baby.

Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.

According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s — much later than previously thought.

Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.

This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed — how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.

Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.

1.Barbara Strauch probably agrees that ______.

A.the young are better at handling important things

B.wrinkles and gray hair are the only symbols of aging

C.aging leads to the decline of the function of the brain

D.people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s

2.The continuing research has found older people perform better on ______.

A.vocabulary tests B.number ability

C.perceptual speed D.body balance

3.People are happier with aging because ______.

A.they know how to share feelings B.they learn to value the time left

C.they cannot focus on negative aspects D.they do not realize the possible dangers

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.People get happier with age. B.People get more forgetful with age.

C.People get wiser with age. D.People get more self-aware with age.

It is reported that a record-breaking high-speed rail will connect Inner Mongolia in the north to Hainan in the south. According to the Shaanxi Development and Reform Commission，the proposed line will operate at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour（217 mph）．

Beginning in Inner Mongolia's Baotou city and running through southern Shaanxi， Hubei， Hunan， Guangxi and Guangdong， its final stop would be in Haikou city on Hainan Island，China's southernmost province．

Though the exact length of the proposed route has not been released，it will likely become the world's longest high-speed rail line as the journey by road between Baotou and Haikou is approximately 3，000 kilometers（1，864 miles） long． Currently， the world's longest high-speed rail line is almost 2，300 kilometers long （1，429 miles）， running from Beijing to Guangzhou．

The proposed rail is part of China's aim to create another "Silk Road of the 21st Century" and improve the country's transportation network while driving land development and urbanization（城市化） in some provincial areas．

However，Deng Hongbing，director of China University of Geosciences' Center for Regional Economic and Investment Center，said that if the north-to-south railway is to go ahead，there needs to be a sound ecological program in place to ensure the protection of these underdeveloped and ecologically sensitive areas．

1.What is the passage mainly talking about？ ______

A.China has decided to invest in the western areas．

B.Another high-speed train line is being planned．

C.The train will speed up to 350 kilometers per hour．

I love English so much. It is my favorite subject, because master a foreign language helps me to know more about the world. I always dreamed to travel around the world someday, so the first job is to learn English well. Since my teacher told me that there was an English corner in the square, I felt so exciting to go there. I found there was some foreigners and I felt nervous. At first, I just listened to them. Though I was eager to talk to them, but I was shy and afraid making stupid mistakes. One day, a foreigner talked to me, and she said she had seen me many times and led me to talk to her. Her heart was beating fast, but I started to say out some English word. After a while, we talked natural. I made big progress and felt proud with myself.
