A

First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. It may save a life or improve certain vital signs including pulse, temperature，a clear airway(气道), and breathing. In minor emergencies，first aid may prevent a victim's condition from turning worse and provide relief from pain. First aid must be administered as quickly as possible. In the case of the Critically injured, a few minutes can make a difference between complete recovery and loss of life.

First-aid measures depend upon a victim's needs and the 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 principles of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aid has been requested，and asked 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 a medical bracelet (手镯) or 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 evaluating a victim's condition is known by the acronym(首字母缩写词)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 externally? Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.

36．First aid may bring about all the following results EXCEPT________.

A．saving a victim's life

B. preventing a victim's condition from getting worse

C．relieving a victim from pain

D．helping a person avoid sudden illness or injury

37．Before we offer 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 may be wearing

D. take him to a hospital at once

38. When giving first aid to a victim, you should first of all________.

A. remove him from the accident scene

B. turn him over

C. call for professional medical help

D. examine him carefully

39．You may assess a victim's condition by all the following EXCEPT________.

A. checking whether there is a pulse

B. looking，listening and feeling for breathing

C. replacing his medical bracelet or card

D. examining whether the airway is open and clear

Electric Shocks Can Be Fatal

Government statistics recently showed that in the UK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their homes. A smaller number of people are killed after contact with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a person's heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid techniques to deal with such emergencies.

What to do? If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, don't touch them! If they are still holding the appliance (家用电器) that has given them shock (e. g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source. Under_no_circumstances_will_you_try_to_move_the_appliance_with_your_hand!

If you can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.

The victim must remain lying down. If they are unconscious, victims should be placed on their side. But they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is absolutely necessary. It is essential to maintain the victim's body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (恢复呼吸). Keep the victim's head low until professional help arrives. If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.

40．What kind of passage is it?
