21、Taking Questions
When giving presentations, it is common practice to encourage audience involvement and this often takes the form of questions from the audience. A good deal has been written recently discussing the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches to handling these. 【1】.
One approach is to take questions as and when they arise. Usually there are only a few points from the audience but in the event of receiving too many, the presenter may move the presentation on by reminding the audience of the time, and offering to continue the discussion later. 【2】. Those who aren't will simply have to wait.
【3】. A danger here is that too much time may be wasted on questions and, as a consequence, important parts of other main points have to be edited out. The audience may also confuse the presenter by asking about points that he or she intends to cover later in the presentation. If this happens, it is important to make the audience aware that answering their questions now might weaken the structure of the talk.
Alternatively, mid-point questions can be discouraged by all signing that you would prefer questions at the end. If you take this approach, however, it is import ant to bear in mind that when you get to the end, it may take a little time for people to reflect on what they have heard and to formulate a question. 【4】. To overcome this, it is useful to have a chairperson who is prepared to ask the first question.
【5】. In that case, the safest response is to tell the truth. Then the rest of the audience may appreciate your honesty. It may also be possible to move the attention away from the questioner by asking other audience if anyone else can provide an answer.
A．Another potential problem is unfriendly questioners who ask the kind of questions they know will be difficult to answer.
B．A statement such as "I will come back to this point at the end" should keep most people happy.
C．It is a good idea to be aware of the tr aps that this type of questioners try to set.
D．However, my intention here is simply to present the most common approaches.
E．There is even the possibility that an embarrassing silence may ensure.
F．Seeking a question can be an effective way of moving the session on.
G．Another approach is to ask for questions after each main point has been addressed.
22、Like so many other good things in life, sleep is best at a right length. A multi-year study of older adults found that both short and long sleepers experienced greater cognitive (认知的) decline than people who slept a proper amount, even when the effects of early Alzheimer's disease were taken into account.
“Our study suggests that there is a middle range, or ‘sweet spot’, for total sleep time where cognitive performance is stable over time. Short and long sleep time is associated with worse cognitive performance,” said first author Brendan Lucey, an associate professor of the Washington University Sleep Medicine Center. “An unanswered question is if we can intervene to improve sleep, would that have a positive effect on their cognitive performance so they no longer decline? We need more further data to answer this question.”
Lucey and colleagues turned to volunteers who participate in Alzheimer's studies through the university's Charles F. and Joanne Knight Alzheimer Disease Research Center. Such volunteers experienced annual clinical and cognitive assessments, and provided a blood sample to be tested. For this study, each participant slept with a tiny EEG monitor attached to their heads for four to six nights to measure their brain activities during sleep.
The researchers found a U-shaped relationship between sleep and cognitive decline. Overall, cognitive scores declined for the groups that slept less than 4.5 or more than 6.5 hours per night while scores stayed stable for those in the middle of the range.
The U-shaped relationship held true for measures of specific sleep phases, including rapid-eye movement (REM), or dreaming sleep and non-REM sleep. Moreover, the same is true even after adjusting for factors that can affect both sleep and cognition, such as age, sex, levels of Alzheimer's proteins. “It was particularly interesting to see that not only those with short amounts of sleep but also those with long amounts of sleep had more cognitive decline,” said Professor Beau M. Ances.
“Each person's sleep needs are unique, and people who wake up feeling rested on short or long sleep schedules should not feel forced to change their habits,” said co-senior author David Holtzman, MD. “But those who are not sleeping well should be aware that sleep problems often can be treated.”
【1】What's the passage mainly about?
A．The effects of Alzheimer's disease.
B．The benefits of best sleep.
C．The influence of sleep time on cognition.
D．The good things in life.
【2】According to the passage, which sleep time is suitable?
A．4 hours.
B．6 hours.
C．7 hours.
D．7. 5 hours.
【3】What can we know about U-shaped relationship?
A．The sleep time has no connection with cognitive scores.
B．The longer sleep time is, the higher cognitive scores are.
C．Cognition is related to different sleep phases.
D．It is not effective when age, sex, and so on are considered.
【4】What does David Holtzman's words imply?
A．Quality of sleep is the key.
B．Long time sleepers do not have cognitive decline.
C．Short sleep schedules must change their habits.
D．Both long time and shot time sleepers have sleep problems.
23、First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. First aid may save a life or improve certain important signs including pulse, temperature, an unobstructed (未堵塞的) airway and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim’s condition from worsening and provide relief from pain.
First aid must be done as quickly as possible. In the case of the badly injured, a few minutes can make the 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 lifelong disability.
Despite the variety of possible injuries, several suggestions should be followed if first aid applies to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if sensible, 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 pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure and heart trouble. The victim’s medical card should be checked 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 to assess a victim’s condition is known as the ABC, which stands for:
A-Airway: Is it open and unobstructed?
B-Breathing: Is the person breathing? Look, listen, and feel for breathing.
C-Circulation (循环): Is there a pulse (脉搏)? Is the person bleeding badly? Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.
【1】It is very important in first aid to_______.
A．know what to do and what not to do according to the condition of the victim
B．spend a few minutes making the difference between recovery and death
C．move the injured person from the scene of accident immediately
D．make it clear what illness the victim has had
【2】Which of the following practices is NOT right in the first aid?
A．Checking whether the victim is breathing.
B．Checking whether the victim is bleeding.
C．Waiting for medical treatment before giving first aid.
D．Telephoning a hospital at once.
【3】The underlined word “indications” in the last paragraph means _____.
A．injures
B．instruments
C．treatments
D．signs
【4】This passage mainly tells us _______.
A．the history and skills of first aid
B．basic knowledge about how to give first aid
C．some knowledge to help anyone who may be injured in an accident
D．that first aid is dangerous to those who do not know how to do it
24、 An attractive and talented actress who is as comfortable in historical dramas as in modern day thrillers and comedies, Emily Mortimer was born in Great Britain in 1971.
Mortimer's father is author John Mortimer, best known for his series of Rumpole of the Bailey mystery novels, and she seems to have absorbed her father's literary influence—before her career as an actress took off, Mortimer wrote a column（专栏）for the London Telegraph, and she's served as a screenwriter for an screen adaptation of Lorna Sage's book Bad Blood.
Mortimer was a student at St. Paul's Girls School when she first developed an interest in acting, appearing in several student productions. After graduating from St. Paul s, she moved on to Oxford, where she majored in Russian. Mortimer found time to perform in several plays while at Oxford, and while acting in a student production she impressed a producer who cast her in a supporting role in a television adaptation of Catherine Cookson's The Glass Virgin in 1995・ Several more television roles followed, including the British TV movie Sharpe’s Sword, before she won her first film role, playing the wife of John Patterson (Val Kilmer) in 1996 s The Ghost and the Darknass.
In 1998, Mortimer appeared as Kat Ashley in the international hit Elizabeth. In 2000, Mortimer was cast as Katherine in Kenneth Branngh's ill-fated musical adaptation of hovers Labour’s Lost, but the experience had a happy ending for her—she met actor Alessandro Nivola, and the two soon fell in love and have been together ever since. That same year, Mortimer took on her biggest role in an American film to date.
