An AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is a life-saving device used when someone’s heart suddenly stops beating. It can be found in public places like airports, schools, and shopping malls. Using an AED is simple just—turn it on and follow the voice instructions. Here are some key steps.
Place one pad onto the upper-right chest (胸膛). Place the other onto the lower-left chest. Connect the pads to the AED. Don’t touch the patient! Wait for the result of the examination. Press the button when a shock is advised. Give CPR (心肺复苏) if needed.
Remember: Time matters! The “Golden 4 Minutes” is the most important window for survival, the chance of survival drops sharply after 4 minutes. It’s best to treat the patient within the “Golden 4 Minutes”! If an AED is not nearby, send someone to get one as soon as possible and give CPR while waiting. Don’t forget to call 120.

A big sandstorm hit northern China years ago. It covered many cities with thick clouds of yellow dust.
The storm, which came from Mongolia, was the largest sandstorm in China in the past 10 years. Many flights and classes were cancelled (取消) because the visibility (能见度) was lower than 500 metres.
The storm was the result of warm and dry weather in the area, together with the strong winds from Mongolia. “There has been little rainfall so far this spring and the temperature is rising. So now it is a worrying time for sandstorms,” said an expert from Beijing.
In recent years, sandstorms haven’t been as common in northern China as before. The land with desertification (沙漠化) has been decreasing by 7,585 km per year in China, and the area of sandy land has been decreasing by 1,284 km a year. This is thanks to China’s Three North Shelter Forest Program (TNSFP 三北防护林工程) which started in the 1970s. Millions of trees have been planted in northern China to prevent sandstorms and protect the environment.
Besides, China has a colour-graded weather warning system for sandstorms, with red meaning the most serious, followed by orange and yellow. Therefore, people would have time to get prepared for the sandstorms.
18．What caused the sandstorm from Mongolia
A．Cold and wet weather together with the strong winds.
B．Warm, dry weather and the strong winds.
C．Heavy rainfall and strong winds.
D．High humidity (湿度) and the strong winds.
19．The underlined word “decreasing” means “________”.
A．rising B．remaining 20．When did TNSFP start C．falling D．wasting
A．In the 1960s. B．In the 1970s. C．In the 1980s. D．In the 1990s.
21．What can we infer from the passage
A．We have taken action to prevent sandstorms.
B．Sandstorms have become more frequent in recent years.
C．The weather warning system is not effective.
D．People are not aware of the sandstorm danger.
D

When we stopped the car, we jumped out of it and ran to the wall of the overpass. Before I could count to
20, there came a loud noise. Then, suddenly, it was over. We made it.

It seems food deliverymen (送货员) are always in a hurry. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets (头盔) and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving. These rude behaviors have caught the public’s attention.
In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 62 traffic accidents in Shanghai, according to the Shanghai
Public Security Bureau. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.
What makes deliverymen take such risks The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the anxious customers may be the answer.
Many companies will fine (罚款) a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan if he fails to deliver an order on time, reported China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.
To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to improve their praising systems. Some cities are also taking action. Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, then he will be stopped from driving food service delivery transports for a whole year.

How to protect ourselves during an earthquake
It is important for us to learn how to protect ourselves when an earthquake happens.
If the earthquake happens, don’t be afraid. Firstly, calm down at once. Second, find a safe place to stay and don’t run in a hurry. If you are in the room, you should hide yourself under something hard, such as a desk, a table or a bed, and keep away from windows and anything that may fall on you. If you are outdoors, move to clear areas and find an open place to stay. Last but not least, we should never give up, even if we are in a bad situation.
