1、 第一篇FirstAidFirstaid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until moreskillful medical treatment is available. It may save a life or improve certainvital signs including pulse, temperature, a clear airway(气道),and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent avictim’s condition from turning worse and provide relief from pain. First aidmust be administered as quickly as possible. In the case of the criticallyinjured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery andloss of life.First-aidmeasures depend upon a victim’s needs and the provider’s level of knowledge andskill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing whatto do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead topermanent spinal(脊柱的) injury and paralysis(瘫痪).Despitethe variety of injuries possible, several principles of first aid apply to allemergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. Thevictim, 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’sfamily or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that mayhave already been given, and preexisting conditions such as diabetes(糖尿病) or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for a medicalbracelet(手镯) or card that describes special medicalconditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or card that describesspecial medical conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or thevictim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.Firstaid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life-threateningconditions exist. One method for eva luating 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 skincolor and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.

2、 第二篇Stressat Work and Still Healthy The term could yet become the wordof the year; stress is on everyone’s lips these days and everywhere. Not onlymanagers, officials and teachers are complaining nowadays, housewives, childrenand pensioners now also have their own problems. They too sacrifice themselvesfor others, feel under-or overworked and quickly lose their inner balance.Irritation, tiredness and exhaustion quickly follow. But that is only thenegative aspect. Stress, after all, is also linked to positive terms such asjoy of life, tension and vitality(活力).“Firstly, stress is healthy,” saysWolfgang Stehling from Eltvelle. The doctor and management consultant says:” Itoccurs when the body loses its inner balance, but then stress hormones areproduced to re-establish the balance.” Thus stress is nothing more than apositive reaction of the body to pressure. It is unavoidable as part of ournature: ”There is no such thing as a stress-free life.”Butwhether stress leads to tensions in the mind or to tenseness of the musclesdepends on the duration(持续时间), its cause or causes and thesufferer’s personal situation. People who havetrouble sleeping or suffer from bad moods or simply the flu will not be on topof the world and will take every little strife as negative stress. Others, peoplewho feel refreshed at every new turn, are relaxed and successful, will view adifficult round of negotiations or competition at work more as a positivechallenge than a cross to bear.Exercise,healthy eating and relaxing are thus the three pillars by which stress can beconquered almost every time. These factors form a unit, explains MaritaVoelker-Albert, spokeswoman for the government’s Nutrition Advice Center inCologne. Its campaign “Gut Drauf” (Feeling Good) is targeted at young people. The governmentagency’s research suggests that three out offour adolescents feel tired, overtaxed(负担过重)andunder stress. Eating disorders and complaints such as migraines(偏头痛)and indigestion(消化不良),nervousness andconcentration problems have increased among 12- to 16-year-olds.Buteven the best solutions don’t work if they are not putinto practice, says Stehling. Anybody who goes jogging regularly, practicesyoga(瑜伽功)and prescribes goodliterature as a cure for negative stress, may well end up under more pressureas he tries to find the time for it all. Sometimes, says the consultant, ithelps to take time out to reduce stress levels over a weekend.

3、 第三篇Isthe News Believable?Unlessyou have gone through the experience yourself, or watched a loved one’sstruggle, you really have no idea just how desperate cancer can make you. Youpray, you rage, you bargain with God, but most of all you clutch at any hope,no matter how remote, of a second chance at life.For afew excited days last week, however, it seemed as if the whole world was acancer patient and that all humankind had been granted a reprieve(痛苦减轻) . Triggered by a front-page medical news story in the usuallyreserved New York Times, all anybody was talking about--- on the radio, ontelevision, on the Internet, in phone calls to friends and relatives----was thereport that a combination of two new drugs could , as the Times put it, “curecancer in two years.”In amatter of hours patients had jammed their doctors’ phone lines begging for achance to test the miracle cancer cure. Cancer scientists raced to the phonesto make sure everyone knew about their research too, generating a new round ofheadlines.Thetime certainly seemed ripe for a breakthrough in cancer. Only last monthscientists at the National Cancer Institute announced that they were halting aclinical trial of a drug called tamoxifen (他莫昔芬)------ and offering it to patients getting the placebo(安慰剂) -----because it had proved so effective at preventing breastcancer (although it also seemed to increase the risk of uterine(子宫的) cancer). Two weeks later came the New York Times’ report that two new drugs could shrink tumors of every varietywithout any side effects whatsoever.Itall seemed too good to be true, and of course it was. There are no miraclecancer drugs, at least not yet. At this stage all the drug manufactures canoffer is some very interesting molecules, and the only cancers they have curedso far have been in mice. By the middle of last week, even the TV talk-showhosts who talked most about the news had learned what every scientist alreadyknew : that curing a disease in lab animals is not the same as doing it inhumans. “The history of cancer research has been a history of curing cancer inthe mouse,” Dr. Richard Klausner, head of the National Cancer Institute, toldthe Los Angeles Times. “We have cured mice of cancer for decades---and itsimply didn’t work in people.”
