In emergency medical services (EMS), the treatment of choice for unconscious patients that are breathing is to place them in the recovery position. The idea is to prevent getting stomach contents into the lungs.

The problem with the recovery position is the same as many other first aid treatments: it sounds good in theory but nobody knows if it really works. Positioning someone to prevent them from aspirating(吸入) is absolutely free. Because there's nothing to gain, very few people do research on things like the recovery position.

There is only one study that looked at the effectiveness of different body positions on aspiration. In that study, the recovery position was better if the unconscious person was lying flat on his or her back. However, the best option for protecting the airway—at least according to this　 study—was to make the patient lying on his or her belly. It turns out that if you are lying flat with your mouth at the lowest point, then the stuff coming out of your stomach won't find its way into your lungs.

Of course, it's not quite that simple. Most of us would hesitate to have our patient lie over completely.

The recovery position is taught in a very precise way. Some first aid textbooks—and more advanced texts as well—have the rescuer put the patient on his or her side with one leg bent and the head resting on an arm. However, the real world isn't like that. Understanding what you need to accomplish is more important than how you do it. Keep stuff out of your patients' lungs. If that means you roll them almost all the way on their bellies, do it. Make sure you are watching their breathing and if they stop, roll them back over and start CPR.

1.Why should unconscious patients be placed in the recovery position?

A.To assist them to recover consciousness.

B.To make them feel comfortable.

C.To keep them from choking.

D.To cure them of their illnesses.

2.Which is the best way to protect the unconscious person in the study?

A.Lying with his or her face up.

B.Bending one leg and having a rest.

C.Lowering his or her head and sitting.

D.Lying on his or her stomach.

3.What does the underlined word “precise” mean in Paragraph 5?

A.Clear and accurate.

B.Perfect and helpful.

C.Valuable and important.

D.Simple and interesting.

4.What does the author mainly tell us in the passage?

A.First aid is necessary for an unconscious patient.

B.A suitable recovery position in first aid is important.

C.Reading books about first aid can help treat some patients.

D.Laying a patient on the ground can help him or her recover.

Imagine this: your child has just been involved in an emergency. You call 911. The medical workers rush in and begin asking you questions as they work to rescue your child. But they also ask questions about your child’s medical history. It’s hard to think clearly. You begin to answer and then end up saying, “I don’t remember. I don’t know.” So many doctors suggest that parents keep handy a record of their children’s important healthy facts. This can often help the medical team make a better and more rapid diagnosis of a problem at a time when time really counts.

The most important information to know is the child’s allergies (过敏). It is especially crucial if the child is allergic to any medicine — penicillin, for example. Food allergies can come into play, so make a note of those as well. Children who have been hospitalized in the past may have developed latex (胶乳) allergies. Often this information can help emergency workers find a cause for problems like breathing difficulties.

Keep a list of any medicine, including what your child is now taking. Some medicines can cause adverse reaction when they are taken together, so the doctors need this information before they give your child anything. You’ll need to know when the child took the medicine last and how much was taken.

It is also important to tell emergency workers about any health problem or illness that your child has had. These pre-existing conditions can have a huge effect on the type of tests and treatment in an emergency. Consider having any child who has a health problem wear a tag around his neck. This kind of rapid notice can help doctors who are providing emergency care, especially if your child suddenly becomes ill at day care, school or a friend’s house.

1.What’s the function of the example in paragraph 1?

A.To tell us what we should do in an emergency.

B.To tell us the importance of keeping a record of children’s health facts

C.To remind us emergent situation is everywhere.

D.To tell us what doctors will ask

2.How many types of allergies are mentioned in Paragraph 2 ?

A.One B.Two C.Three D.Four

3.The underlined word “crucial “in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

A.essential B.professional C.convincing D.admirable

4.Doctors can make a rapid diagnosis of a problem with the help of knowing the following EXCEPT_________.

A.the medicine the child took last and the amount.

B.if the child is allergic to any medicine

C.if your child suddenly becomes ill at day care, school, or a friend’s house.

D.if your child has had any health problem or illness.

The 3D-printing industry is accelerating its efforts to help fight the new coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19.

On Tuesday, HP announced it’s working with those who bought its 3D printers to make medical face shields, hands-free door openers and an adjuster for face masks for medical staff who often must wear them for hours. It’s also testing “hospital-grade” face masks meeting the higher-end FFP3 (过滤式面罩) standard and parts for simple emergency ventilators (呼吸机) and it’s looking into nasal swabs to test for COVID-19 infection. HP also is offering free downloads of its 3D-printed medical equipment designs.

Carbon, whose 3D printers are used to make everything from bicycle seats to teeth straighteners, said it plans to send face shield designs to its network of customers who’ve bought its 3D printers. Carbon co-founder and Executive Chairman Joseph DeSimone said on Monday the company expects to send the designs by early Tuesday.

3D-printcr makers typically sell their products to others that actually do the 3D printing. One such customer, Ford, said Tuesday that it’s made 1,000 face shields and shipped them to Michigan hospitals, with plans to make 100,000 face shields a week. It is also working with 3M and General Electric on respirator masks and ventilator designs.

The effort is one of several to apply 3D-printing technology to the fight against coronavirus. 3D printing isn’t as fast at churning out products as conventional mass production methods. But 3D printers are flexible and able to make many different parts anywhere there’s a printer and raw materials like the plastic resins Carbon printers use.

Some 3D-printing efforts have focused on ventilators, which expected to be in short supply with a surge of COVID-19 patients suffering from respiratory (呼吸器官) problems. Also in short supply arc N95 masks that can be useful in reducing the likelihood a wearer will spread COVID-19 to others.

Carbon’s DeSimone is cautious about the enthusiasm, though, saying that regulatory approval is important and that 3D-printcr enthusiasts shouldn’t be making components not intended for close human contact that might release unhealthy gases.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A.An introduction about 3D-printing.

B.The 3D-printing industry’s efforts to help fight COVID-19.

C.The products that 3D-printing makers sell.

D.How 3D-printing makers produce medical equipment.

2.HP announced to help its customers to make the following products except for_____________.

A.medical face shields B.hands-free door openers

C.an adjuster for face masks D.emergency ventilators

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Carbon’s company will finish its design after Tuesday.

B.Ford has made 1,000 face shields end plans to make 10,000 more in a week.

C.3D printers are more flexible than traditional mass production methods.

D.Most 3D-printings focus on making ventilators and N95 because of their short supply.

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.3D-printing may release unhealthy gases.

B.DeSimone is cautious about 3D-printing.

C.Carbon’s company didn’t gain regulatory approval of making medical equipment.

D.3D printers aren’t enthusiastic about making components designed for close human contact.

First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. First aid 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 worsening and provide relief from pain. First aid must be given as quickly as possible. In the case of 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 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 (脊柱的) injury and paralysis (瘫痪)。

Despite the variety of injuries possible, several basic rules of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious (有意识的), should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and ask 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 preexisting conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病) or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for the 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 assessing a victims condition is known by 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.Before we give first aid to a victim, it is very important for us to ___________________.

A.make sure what to do and what not to do B.refer to all kinds of handbooks on first aid

C.remove the ring or bracelet he/she may be wearing D.take him/her to a hospital at once

2.According to this article, first aid is usually provided by _______________

A.professional doctors B.the victim’s family members

C.the victim’s friends D.those who are not necessarily professional doctors

3.Which of the following is NOT true when you assess a victim’s condition?

A.Checking whether there is a pulse. B.Looking, listening and feeling for breathing.

C.Replacing his/her medical card. D.Examining whether the airway is open and clear.

4.The purpose of the passage is to tell readers___________.

A.the importance of protecting the accident scene. B.some basic knowledge about first aid.

C.what professional medical help is. D.who can give first aid.
