Bethany Simpson, a pupil at St Columb Major Academy, Cornwall, bravely stepped in when her stepfather Robert Hoskins stopped breathing on March 15. She delivered CPR (心肺复苏术) before the ambulance arrived.
Bethany's mother Jane and Robert were watching TV in bed when both of them had fallen asleep, but Jane woke up and noticed Robert's breathing had become weak and hard. Jane quickly called 999 and followed the operator's advice, including moving him onto his side to make him more comfortable. But when Robert stopped breathing completely and the operator told her to give CPR, Jane completely froze.
“I panicked (恐慌) and said ‘I can't do it’，” said Jane. “Fortunately, Bethany heard me scream, came into the bedroom and said ‘It's OK, Mum. I know what to do.’ She was so confident and took charge.” Bethany performed CPR that kept Robert alive.
Robert, who is now recovering at home, said, “I would just like to sincerely thank St John Ambulance for teaching the children first aid. If it wasn't for them and Bethany, I wouldn't be here.” The ten-year-old says she doesn't believe she is a hero. “I'm just glad my dad is still here，” she added.
Both Robert and Jane believe the government should ask all schools to teach first aid. “This incident just shows why it's important to teach everyone first aid — especially in schools，” said Jane.“Without my daughter and the training St John Ambulance gave her, Robert would be dead and I would be heartbroken. I'm so proud of Bethany and so grateful.”

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
When Danny Wallace, 26, got bored, he sent off an ad reading simply: “Join Me. Send a passport photo！” A year and a half later, his east London flat is the headquarters (总部) for a global Internet-based club whose members do an act of kindness for strangers every Friday.
__1__ If you see someone struggling with something, part of your brain goes: “I want to help.” But the trained part of the brain says: “They will think you are mad or going to mug (抢劫) them，” so you walk away.
__2__ For example, I'm usually out on a Friday so I go for one of the standard acts — the unexpected cup of coffee. You might be sitting in a cafe and see an old man in the corner drinking coffee or tea. Then you walk up with another cup of whatever he is drinking, and say: “I've bought you a coffee，” and walk away. __3__ There can be some suspicion (猜疑), but I think that was mostly in the early days when I didn't know how to do it properly. I would walk up quite nervously like I was doing something wrong and I didn't know when to leave. Later I discovered that you have to walk up with confidence and humor and not “get in their faces”. __4__ It's hit-and-run kindness. And there is no point in doing it half-heartedly. __5__ A．You say: “This is for you”， then you go. B．You've got to do it because you really mean it.
C．It now has about 3,000 members around the world. D．It's a pleasure to see the look of surprise on his face. E．Join Me is about giving you an excuse to do something. F．This is why Danny Wallace usually goes out on Fridays. G．It's not common for people in London to talk to strangers.

3．选D 下文中的“some suspicion (猜疑)”和D项中的“the look of surprise”相呼应。 4．选A 根据上文的“walk up with confidence and humor and not ‘get in their faces’”可知，作者建议人们充满自信地走到陌生人面前做好事。故选A项。
5．选B 根据上文的“there is no point in doing it half-heartedly”可知，人们在做好
