24、You’re hiking with a friend and then as you step over a stone, a snake beneath bites your leg. One thought races through your mind, “If you get bitten by a snake, suck (吸) out the venom (毒液).’’ Terrified, you turn to your friend, but he replies, “No way! Then we’ll both die.”

Most likely, your friend wouldn’t die. But if he has an open wound in his mouth, the venom could enter his body through bloodstream, which is no help to either of you. So, venom sucking isn’t a solution.

To understand how to treat snakebites, you need to know the difference between poisons and venoms. Poisons (毒药) are toxic, in other words, dangerous, if you take in or smell them. Venoms, on the other hand, are only harmful if they get into the bloodstream.

So, if you suck the venom out of a snake bite, you won’t get hurt. But that doesn’t mean you should do it! Experts now strongly advise against it. Why? Venom enters the bloodstream super quickly, and trying to suck it out is rather useless because it’s faster than your reaction. The best way to prevent the venom from quickly moving through the bloodstream is to remain calm, and avoid doing anything that would increase the heart rate.

So what else should we do? Well, be aware of what snakes are in the place you are walking in. That way you will have an idea which ones are dangerous.

【1】The writer introduces the topic by _______.

A．showing a fact

B．asking a question

C．telling a story

D．listing a difference

【2】The venom enters your bloodstream when sucking _______.

A．if you have an open wound in your mouth

B．if you smell them from the snakebite

C．if you are terrified to call your friend for help

D．if you don’t wash your mouth after sucking

【3】Which of the following is true about venoms?

A．They are almost nothing different from poisons.

B．They would increase the heart rate very quickly.

C．They are dangerous if they enter the bloodstream.

D．They move slowly if they enter the bloodstream.

【4】If your are bitten by a snake, what should you do first?

A．Run to the nearest place for help.

B．Keep calm and don’t move at all.

C．Shout for help as loudly as possible.

D．Find the snake and kill it at once.

She published in many magazines starting in the 1950s. in 1968, she published Dance of the Happy Shades, a collection of short stories. In 1971, she published a collection of stories Lives of Girls and Women, and in many of the stories she talks about her poor relationship with her mother.

Since her first book in 1968, Munro has won many awards, including the 2009 Man Booker International Prize, with the 2013 Nobel Prize as her biggest honor. But Munro doesn’t see herself as a talented writer.

“I have many notebooks that include this terrible clumsy(笨拙的) writing. I often wonder, when I look at these first drafts(草稿), if it was meaningful to do this at all. I’m the opposite of a writer with quick gift.”

“Alice Munro is mostly known as a short story writer and yet she brings as much depth, wisdom and precision(精确) to every story as most novelists bring to a lifetime of novels.” The Man Booker judging committee said.

Munro became world-famous for writing about everyday people. “Here we have a world prize being won by someone who writes about housewives in Vancouver(温哥华), booksellers in Victoria, bean farmers in Huron Country and accountants and teachers and librarians— common Canadian people, and she turns it into magic,” said Doug Gibson, Munro’s publisher.

“After many years, many collections and many wonderful stories, readers may feel they know everything about Alice Munro, especially as so many of her characters live lives similar to her own. In fact, we know very little about her. This is one of the reasons readers are crazy about Munro. This other reason is that she is so good.” said Anne Enright from Guardian.
