Liu Xu was robbed(抢劫)! The 13-year-old was riding home when a man jumped out from the road-side. He pulled Liu off his bike and rode away. Liu was scared, but he didn’t run after the robber. He found a telephone and called the police at 110.

“Safety is the first in such a situation,” Liu said, remembering what his teacher had told him in his aid class. “It’s not safe to run after an adult who is much stronger than you.”

Liu is a student at Shenzhen Bao’an Middle School in Guangdong. His school is one of the first in China to have required first aid education. Grade 1 students must take the class once a week.

Teenage safety has become a serious problem recently. According to a recent survey, about 16,000 teenagers die in accidents in China every year. An average(平均) of 40 students die every day from drowning(溺水), food poisoning(中毒) and traffic accidents.

Bao’an School said that the first aid classes are to “teach students skills so that they can keep themselves safe and save themselves from danger.”

Students at Bao’an often learn by role(角色)-playing in first aid classes.

Zhou Min, 12, remembered her favorite lesson. “I performed as a stranger knocking at a door. A classmate stood inside the door and asked several questions before letting me in. Then we changed roles and did it again,” Zhou said. “We learned a lot while having fun at role-playing.”

The topics of the class are regularly changed. The students have learned skills for lifesaving in earthquakes. They also deal with topics like sexual harassment(骚扰).

“The teacher told us girls that we should try not to go out alone, especially at night. If someone tries to do bad things to us, we may hit their eyes or noses or kick their deadly parts. Then we should quickly run into a crowded place,” said Zhong Hua, a 13-year-old girl.

1.From the first paragraph of the passage, we know _______.

A. the robber was of medium height

B. Liu Xu was robbed on his way home

C. the robber ran away when he saw the policeman

D. Liu Xu jumped off his bike and called the police at once

2. Why didn't Liu Xu run after the robber when his bike was taken away from him?

A. Because the robber rode away too fast

B. Because he was too scared to run in such a situation.

C. Because the robber looked much stronger than an adult.

D. Because he remembered what he had learned in his first aid class.

3.The purpose of the first aid classes is to ______.

A. make Grade 1 students take the class once a week

B. help the 40 students to solve their safety problems

C. complete the required art education in the middle school

D. teach the teenagers how to keep themselves safe from danger

4.Zhou Min gives an example to show ________.

A. how they learn in the first aid classes

B. where they have their first aid classes

C. what they don't often do in her classes

D. who taught them role-playing in her classes

5.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. A survey shows that over ten thousand teenagers die in accidents in China every year.

B. Many students of Bao’an Middle School enjoyed themselves in first aid classes.

C. Girl students are taught what to do when someone tries to do bad things to them.

D. Topics for first aid classes are quite different from what the students have taught

One day a lady who was riding in a coach saw a boy on the road without wearing any shoes and was seemingly very painful．She asked the coachman to take him up，and said she would pay for him.

When the coach reached the end of its journey，the kind lady found that the poor boy was going to the nearest sea port，trying to find a job as a sailor.

Twenty years afterwards，on the same road，a sea captain who was on a coach saw an old lady walking tiredly along，and he made the coachman pull up his horses．He put the old lady inside，saying，“I’ll pay for her.” Feeling thankful，the old lady said，“I am too poor to pay for a ride now.

You are such a kind man!”

The captain told her that he always felt sorry for those who had to walk as she had been doing；then he added，“I remember，twenty years ago，near this very place，I was a poor boy walking along the road，and a kind lady paid for me to ride.”

“Ah，” she said，“I am that lady! But things have changed with me since then.”

“Well，” said the captain，“I have made a fortune．I’m rich now and have come home to enjoy it. I will allow you twenty-five pounds a year as long as you live.” The old lady burst into tears，and gratefully accepted the sailor’s offer.

“Throw the bread upon the waters，and you will find it after many days.” Let me explain these words.

In the land of Egypt the river Nile overflows its banks once a year．When the fields on the riversides are covered with the water，people throw their seed on it，and the seed sinks down into the soft mud．When the water disappears，the seed takes root．After many days，then comes the harvest， and rich crops of grain are reaped (收获).

The lady had thrown her bread upon the waters and was rewarded (奖赏) with more bread．She had done a kind act to a poor boy； and，after many years，he in return was able to do her a great kindness.

1.Twenty years ago，when the lady was riding in a coach，she saw the boy _______.

A.walking in pain

B.asking for direction

C.looking for his shoes

D.playing on the road

2.What did the lady think of the sea captain?

A.He has great courage． B.He is very successful.

C.He has lots of fortune． D.He is kind and helpful.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.We should treat others with respect.

B.A kind act can bring us a lot of money.

C.We should throw the seed upon the waters.

D.A kind act can be rewarded with more kindness.
