tell the doctor.
Suffocation: This means not being able to breathe. For example, a drowning person will have his lungs full of water. Lay him down with his head lower than the rest of his body so that the water will drain out. If a person has something stuck in his throat, try to remove it with your fingers, or by hitting him on the back. When a person has stopped breathing because of drowning, electric shock, breathing in a poisonous gas, etc, you can help him to begin breathing again.
Remember: When an accident happens, send someone to telephone for an ambulance at once. Keep the injured person warm and quiet. Give him plenty of air. Do not let other people crowd around him. If you see an injured person who is being looked after, keep away.

American society is not nap(午睡)friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “There’s even a ban against admitting we need sleep.” Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. A proverb says: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness(邪恶) eleven.”
Wrong! The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping,” says Dr William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.
Last year a national commission(委员会) led by Dement put forward an “American sleep debt”
6
which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents of falling asleep while working. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, our President is trying to take a half-hour nap every afternoon.
About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a mid-afternoon quiet state”, or “a secondary sleep gate”. Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.
We Superstars of Napping don’t nap just to make up for the lost sleep after a night shift(夜班). Rather, we take it, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.
56. It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is ________. A. unbearable B.unfit C.harmful D.unfriendly 57. The research done by the Dement commission shows that _________. A. Americans who sleep too much usually get into debts
B. the commission blamed the national debts on people’s sleep C. not enough sleep is no good for Americans and their country
D. napping at work has caused America many industrial and traffic accidents 58. The writer writes this passage in order to _________. A.warn us of the risks of napping
B.show us the dangers of sleeplessness
C.introduce a national commission on sleepiness in America D.convince the readers of the necessity of napping
59. From the passage, we can learn that “American sleep debt” is the result of _________. A.the wrong attitude the Americans traditionally hold toward sleep B.the sleep policy made by the American government C.the rapid development of American industry
D.the Americans’ worry about the dangers of sleepiness 60. The last paragraph tells us that it is________ .
A.preferable to have a sound sleep after a night shift B.good practice not to nap at work C.essential to make up for lost sleep
D.natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for it
D
The environment is everything that surrounds us: plants, animals, buildings, country, air, water--- everything that can affect us in any way. The environment of a town, with its buildings and its noise and smells, is a far cry from that of the countryside, with its fields and crops, its wild and domestic animals and its feeling of spaciousness(辽阔). And the environment differs in different parts of the world.

Ecology is the science of how living things exist together and depend on each other and on the local environment. Where an environment is peaceful, the ecology of an area is in balance.
Man is a part of the environment and has done more to upset the ecology than any other living things. He has poisoned the atmosphere and polluted both land and water. He has wasted the earth’s natural resources with no thought for the future, and has thought out the cruel ways of killing his fellow men--- and every other sort of life at the same time.
Since man has done so much damage, it is up to man to try to put matters right--- if it is not already too late. If there is to be any solutions for our ills, that solutions lie in the hands of the young, and the sooner they start doing something about it, the better.
One of the main causes of the earth’s troubles is that the world is overpopulated and that this overpopulation is growing at an ever increasing speed. At the same time we are using up our natural resources at an ever increasing speed with no hope for replacing them.
For many years the earth has been unable to provide enough food for these rapidly growing populations and the position is gradually becoming worse since the areas that were once rich have turned into deserts.
Even at this moment many of the earth’s natural treasures are being destroyed, many valuable animals and plants are being killed off, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to grow enough food to prevent much of the earth’s population from hunger. The situation is getting out of hand. Time is running out. But with your help, we may be able to save ourselves. Who cares?
61. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Environment B. Overpopulation C. Environment protection D. Ecology and science
62. The environment is __________.
A.almost the same in the world B.different in different towns C.almost the same in different towns D.different from place to place 63. It can be inferred from the passage that_________. A. man can do little to keep the ecological balance
B.the environment in town is worse than that in the countryside
C.to control the population is also a necessary way to keep the ecological balance D.no one really cares about the earth.
64. The underlined word “upset” is closest in meaning to _________? A. worry B. pollute C. break D. possess 65. It is not clearly stated but implied in the passage that _________. A. we can do something to save the earth B. we can grow more food to save ourselves
C. we can do nothing about the natural resources D. we can not make good use of our time

A. Chapter 1: …you probably have an image in your mind of what the “perfect’ or “ideal” body looks like. Try not to press yourself to look that way. Each person is born with genes that control the shape of his / her body. Everyone is different. It’s important to be comfortable with the body you have.
B. Chapter 2: …You use energy for everything you do. That energy comes from the food you eat. Too much food or too little regular exercise causes your body to store the extra energy in fat cells. But, if you exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet, you’ll feel healthier and stronger not to mention look great.
C. Chapter 3: … Your body runs best on foods high in carbohydrates and low in fat and sugar. Eating a healthy diet will provide your body with everything it needs to run smoothly. Your body breaks down proteins into amino acids(氨基酸), so you don’t need to take in the amino acids separately.
D. Chapter 4: …Exercise does more than just burn calories. For instance, regular exercise makes your muscles strong and flexible, and increases the amount of muscle you have. It also makes your heart stronger and lowers your blood pressure; …
E. Chapter 5: …Always warm up and stretch for 5-10 minutes before you do strength or endurance exercises. Afterwards, take 10 minutes to cool down. Your heart should beat normally when you stop. Exercising with a group may help you to exercise regularly.
F. Chapter 6: …Supplementation of a mixture of essential amino acids will increase protein synthesis (蛋白质综合体). While supplementing with either carbohydrate or amino acids may limit muscle damage and stimulate (激励) protein synthesis, there is increasing evidence that the combination can have an addictive effect.
