Besides calling 911, here is what to do in some life-threatening emergencies when no one is
around to help.
Lost in the wilderness
First, you’ve got to acknowledge you’re in trouble. Stay where you can be seen clearly and remember to rest. Keeping a sense of humor helps too—it reduces stress and helps creative thinking.
In a wide open area, make a colorful cross out of rocks to show your present position.
Choking
Aim to hit the top of the chair against your stomach, in the soft part below the bony upside-down V of the ribs(肋骨). Make a sudden push against the chair. If you still can’t breathe after six tries, call 911, even if you can’t talk. Write the word choking somewhere nearby, and leave the line open until help arrives.
Severe bleeding
Use your hand or clean cotton, or paper towels, or a scarf, or any cloth you can find, and push down on the wound until the bleeding stops. But if you put a band around your leg tightly, you’re going to close the vessels(血管)to the entire leg. In this way, you could lose your foot.
Bear attack
If you surprise a bear, don’t run away. That invites an attack. Instead, stand up and back away slowly, without looking the bear in the eyes. If it does charge at you, stick out your chest, raise your arms, and spread your legs. Shout at the bear, to frighten it. If it’s going to attack, lie facedown, with your handsheld firmly behind your neck. Play dead until you’re sure the bear is gone.
60. When you see a colorful cross made of rocks in the wilderness, you know .
A. someone is bleeding B. someone is choking
C. someone is attacked by a bear D. someone is lost
61. If you are still choking after six tries, you should .
A. call 911 and leave the line open B. keep a sense of humor
C. use your hand our clean cotton D. lie down with your hands behind your neck
62. Don’t tie around your bleeding leg tightly, or you could .
A. stop bleeding B. reduce stress C. cause breathlessness D. lose our foot
63. The passage is mainly teaching us how to .
A. avoid a bear attack B. survive the emergencies
C. deal with a choke D. find our way

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
What do you call your partner—darling, sweetheart, babe? I have been called a little owl, a swan and even a “panda-fish.” No, I’m not a supernatural, shape-shifting creature or a character in a children’s storybook. I’ve just been in a few relationships where affectionate nicknames appeared as inside jokes.
Plenty of my friends have developed nicknames with their romantic partners. I asked the question on Facebook and got all kinds of answers: former boyfriends who knew each other as “Tiger and Teddy.” An American man who dated a Chinese woman told me he called her “Popo”, which means “wife” or “broken broken,” depending on your intonation and she called him “Benben,” which he says means something like “dumb dumb,” referring to his poor mastery of the Chinese language at the time.
There seems to be a variety of languages with pet names, too. According to the website of the popular language-learning software Rosetta Stone, the French say “Mon Petit Chou” (my little cabbage or cream puff), the Russians say “Vishenka” (cherry), the Dutch call girlfriends “Dropje” (candy) and in Brazil you can say “Meu Chuchu,” where “chuchu” is a vegetable. In Spain I heard the term “Media Naranja,” meaning half-orange, suggesting that the romantic partners are two halves of the whole.
Is there any science behind using pet names? Is it a mark of a healthy relationship, or unhealthy? Are couples who give each other names, ranging from the generic “Honey” and “Sweetie” to the creative “Loopy Lop,” more likely to stay together? And in our digital age, are these nicknames any more important?
From what has been studied, and from the experience of several experts, it seems nicknames can be a good thing for a relationship—if both partners are into it.
1.Why has the writer been called a little owl, a swan and even a “panda-fish”?
A. Because he looks like a owl, a swan and even a “panda-fish”.
B. Because he is a supernatural, shape-shifting creature.
C. Because nicknames arose as inside jokes in his relationships.
D. Because he loves a character in a children’s storybook.
2.What did the Chinese woman mean by calling her American boyfriend “Benben”?
A. Her boyfriend had a different intonation.
B. Her boyfriend had a weak mastery of Chinese.
C. She thought the man was very stupid.
D. She thought it was a lovely nickname.
3.For what purpose do romantic partners in Spain call each other “Media Naranja”?
A. To introduce half-orange.
B. To show their love for pet names.
C. To mean they are both fat.
D. To suggest they are two halves of the whole.
4.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. Couples who give each other nicknames are certain to stay together.
B. There must be science behind using pet names.
C. Partners who enjoy their nicknames can keep healthy relationships.
D. Nicknames are no longer important in our digital age.

What were you doing before you started reading this? Were you fully focused on another article? Or eating breakfast? Organizing your day? Or were you staring out of the window, feeling restless and bored?
It is likely to have been the latter. Brief moments of boredom are universal, and are frequently what drives us to stop what we are doing and move to something that we hope will be more exciting.
But although boredom is common, it is neither unimportant nor favorable, according to Dr John Eastwood, a psychologist at York University, Toronto. Eastwood is the joint author of The Unengaged Mind, a major new paper on the theory of boredom.
Boredom, he points out in the paper, has been connected with overeating, depression, anxiety, and an increased risk of making mistakes. Mistakes at work might not be a matter of life and death for most of us, but if you are an air traffic controller, pilot or nuclear power plant operator, they most certainly can be.
Commercial polo Sami Franks confirms that boredom can make pilots lose attention. “When you fly a lengthy distance, there are two pilots, one of whom is monitoring all the screens while the other does the paperwork, talks to air traffic control and so on. You need to be alert(警觉的) for landing and takeoff, but once you’re 500 ft above the runway, the plane’s on autopilot(自动驾驶仪) and it can be very quiet and boring. In a study I saw of pilots who woke up after a short sleep. 30% of them reported seeing the other pilot asleep too,” said Franks.
However, Dr Esther Priyadharshini, a senior lecturer in education at the university of East Anglia, has studied boredom and says it can be seen in a positive light. “We can’t prevent boredom—it’s an unavoidable human emotion. We have to accept it and find ways to control it. We all need downtime. There’s no need to be fully busy with work at all times.” she says.
Children who complain that they have nothing to do on rainy holidays may try to find other things to focus on. The artist Grayson Perry has reportedly spoken of how long periods of boredom in childhood may have improved his creativity.
“We all need vacant time to mull(深思熟虑) things over,” says Priyadharshini.
1.We can learn from Eastwood that _______.
A. boredom can be potentially (潜在地) dangerous
B. air traffic controllers usually feel bored
C. brief moments of boredom are not common
D. making mistakes is a major cause of boredom
2.The study mentioned by Franks shows that ______.
A. pilots need to be alert for landing and takeoff
B. pilots must work well together when flying
C. boredom can make pilots lose attention
D. flying a plane is generally quite fun
3.Which of the following might be Perry’s opinion on boredom?
A. It often leads to failure.
B. It has a beneficial effect.
C. It is more likely to happen to children.
D. It makes children lose interest in learning.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A. Why am I so bored?
B. Is boredom bad for you?
C. Can I have your attention?
D. How can I get rid of boredom?
