22、Chen Wei, a high school student, was having dinner when he heard someone screaming from another table. A fellow diner, Zhang Tao, was choking on something. He was holding his throat with his face turning red, while his desperate friends were slapping him on the back. Chen wasted no time. He rushed to Zhang’s table at once. With the help of Zhang’s friends, he was able to help Zhang to his feet. Then, standing behind Zhang, Chen did the Heimlich manoeuvre. The food was instantly forced out, and Zhang began to breathe again.
Choking victims usually have only about four minutes before they collapse (崩溃) and sometimes die, leaving no time for an ambulance to arrive. To solve this problem, in 1974, an American doctor, Henry Heimlich, created the Heimlich manoeuvre, saving thousands of lives around the world. Doing the Heimlich manoeuvre is quick, practical, and easy. It is so easy, in fact, that almost anyone can lean how.
If you see someone choking, first call the emergency services. Then, make sure the victim is really choking: A choking person cannot speak. Slapping the victim’s back will often force out the obstruction. If this does not work, you can perform the Heimlich manoeuvre by standing behind him and wrapping your arms around his waist. Make a fist with one hand and place it in the upper part of his stomach. Grabbing your fist with your other hand tightly, push up and into his stomach in one motion. Continue doing this until the obstruction is forced out.
With choking victims, every minute counts. You can’t just sit there and do nothing. Luckily, Chen had learnt how to give first aid in school. Seeing Zhang choking, he remained calm and reacted immediately. Chen later said about the incident, “How could I justify sitting there and doing nothing? We are all humans, and we all have a responsibility to look after one another’s welfare”.
【1】What is the Heimlich manoeuvre?
A.An American doctor.
B.A choking victim.
C.An emergency situation.
D.A first aid method.
【2】Why is choking such a serious condition?
A.Millions of people die of it every year.
B.Most of the victims are young children.
C.It is minutes before a victim falls down or dies.
D.There are no effective ways to save victims from it.
【3】Which action does the Heimlich manoeuvre NOT include?
A.To make a fist with one hand.
B.To hold the victim’s throat with one hand.
C.To grab your fist with the other hand tightly.
D.To stand behind the victim who is really choking.
【4】Which word can describe the quality of Chen Wei?
A.Ambitious.
B.Cooperative.
C.Responsible.
D.Optimistic.
23、There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being brought in to finish the film after Zack Snyder's loss of his daughter (Zack Snyder was the original director). And, of course, there had been a lot of negative talk about Ben Affleck's acting skills in the role of Batman.
Some people are saying that Justice League is another big disappointment, because it could have been wonderful and instead fails to really entertain. Others say that Warner Bros. has finally got it right and that the future for Justice League looks bright.
My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment: it was exciting and funny and brought a lot of fun. There was something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that was affecting my opinion.
However, I will say that a lot of work needs to be done if the producer wants to produce better sequels (续集). Although the film was good, it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed. I also have to mention the special effects created in several scenes. These are the ones that you don't expect to see in a film with such a big budget.
Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman slightly a brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to keep things fun. But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer - here, not mentioning its name - is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of serious and seriously good stories.
So, Justice League is not a great film but it is certainly not a terrible one. A lot of work is still to be done.
【1】Before the release of Justice League, many people showed .
A. their pity for the director, Zack Snyder
B. their concern about the film's quality
C. their higher expectation of the new director
D. their support for the actor, Ben Affleck
【2】According to the author, what's special about Justice League?
A. It advocates social justice. B. It brings lots of fun to audience.
C. It has some brave heroes. D. It brings back childhood memories.
【3】What's Paragraph 4 mainly written to show?
A. The author's views on the film's weaknesses.
B. The author's advice to the film's director.
C. The author's love for the film.
D. The author's expectation of the film's sequels.
【4】The mention of another film producer is to .
A. stress the importance of fun in a film
B. show Justice League's lack of a serious plot
C. serve as a warning to Justice League's producer
D. set an example for Justice League's producer
【5】The passage is possibly taken from .
A. a travel brochure B. an entertainment magazine
C. a news report D. an advertisement
