4．It's just another day at school.You and your friend are chatting in the classroom.Suddenly，your friend's nose starts to bleed.What would you do？Would you be scared？Or would you do something to help your friend？
In daily life，we run into emergencies now and then.Nosebleeds are just one kind of emergency.But if you learn some basic first aid skills，you can help people during emergencies and maybe even save their lives.
The second Saturday of September is World First Aid Day，which fell on Sept.14 in 2019.Right now，it is a good time for us to learn more about first aid.
First aid，as its name tells us，refers to the first steps you can take to care for someone who's hurt.It includes keeping him safe and staying calm.It also includes getting help，by telling other people or calling 120.
Every year in China，3.2 million people die in emergencies.That's six people per minute on average.Doctors say that the first to minutes after an accident can make the difference between life and death.This is why it's important for us to learn first aid.
CPR （心肺復(fù)蘇術(shù)） is one of the must useful first aid skills.It can help people who've suffered cardiac arrest （心臟驟停）.But if you want to perform CPR，you need to learn how to do it properly.You can take courses offered by the Red Cross Society or some hospitals.
（1）The writer introduces the topic by.
A．comparing situations
B．offering a suggestion
C．listing some reasons
D．giving an example

（3）Which of the following is TRUE about the first aid？
A．First aid includes keeping people nearby safe.

5．How are you feeling today？If your head is uncomfortable because of a bad night's sleep，or you've just got too much to do，the chances are you're not in the best of feelings.If everything seems like an effort and you have a negative（消極的） opinion，the last thing you want to be told is to "be positive!" But having this mindset could get more advantages than you think.
Of course，developing a positive（積極的） opinion is easier said than done.When you're feeling down，it is hard to be optimistic（樂觀的）.But a study in the US has found that people who are optimists are more likely to live longer than those who have a more negative opinion to life.It showed the possibility of positive people living to the age of 85 or more.So，maybe the thought of a longer life might encourage you to be more positive to life.
The study found that optimists may find it easier to control feelings and get less stressed.And as stress influences the immune system（免疫系統(tǒng)），it's possible that optimists deal better with illness.Professor Lee，who worked on the study，said， "Our findings suggest that raising levels of optimism may lead to longer life and healthier ageing." And she advises that pessimists（悲觀主義者） could get better from doing things like imagining a future where everything turns out well.
But a glass half empty type of person can hardly see the world through hopeful glasses.If you're the one among them，what could you do？Accepting that we all have problems and we're not all the same can help.It's best to celebrate the positives and not think about the negative parts of our lives.
People have been sharing their personal advice on keeping a positive way to life.Vicki Siska says， "Music feeds my soul，and I have good friends who care for me." The saying goes that "a healthy body leads a healthy mind" which is perhaps why other people have advised doing deep thinking as well as staying healthy to help keep a positive opinion about life.
（1）From Paragraphs 1 & 2，we can learn that.
A．negative opinions lead to bad endings
B．being positive isn't as easy as we thought
C． "be positive" is enjoyed by pessimists
D．optimistic people like to have a long life
（2）According to Paragraph 3，the study found that.
A．optimists usually get more stressed
B．pessimists are impossible to live long
C．optimists are easy to develop illness
D．positive imagining is good for pessimists
（3）The underlined part " glass half empty " in Paragraph 4 probably means.
A．negative
B．strong
C．helpful
D．outgoing
（4）According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE？
A．The study found that pessimists could live to be 85 or a higher age.
B．Optimists are seldom ill because they have a good immune system.
C．Pessimists are those unlucky people who always have problems.
D．Positive opinions about life might lead to good physical health.
（5）The passage mainly tells us.
A．to have a long life
B．to treat life positively
C．the importance of health
D．what optimists and pessimists are組卷：53引用：3難度：0.2 -
6．Chinese people are eating too much salt.On average，people in China eat about 10.5 grams of salt each day much higher than the 6 grams recommended （建議） by Chinese Dietary Guidelines （2016）.China now has one of the highest salt intakes in the world.To fix this，China worked out the first salt reduction guide for its food industry on April 18，people's Daily reported.
If the guide is followed properly，the average salt intake for Chinese people will drop by 20 percent by 2030.The guide calls for food companies to lower the salt content in their products by improve their production Techniques （技術(shù)） and adjusting （調(diào)整） tastes.
The salt we take in mainly comes from processed food.For example，a 104-gram can of Lay's classic potato chips contains about 0.66 grams of salt，which accounts for over 10 percent of the recommended （被推薦） daily salt intake.A100-gram bag of Kang ShiFu instant noodles has nearly 2 grams of salt.
A small amount of salt makes food taste better and is important for good health，but eating too much increases the risk of high blood pressure，heart attacks （心臟?。?and strokes （中風(fēng)），the Xinhua News Agency reported

Here are global efforts to cut salt.More than half of the world's countries have already taken action to reduce salt consumption （消費(fèi)） among their cities，including the UK，F(xiàn)inland and Australia，China News Service reported.For example，in New York，diners who eat at chain restaurants can see warning next to menu items that have high levels of salt.
