    It's reported there are as many as 550, 000 sudden cardiac(心脏的) deaths in China every year.

First aid(急救) is the first and immediate help given to someone who suddenly falls ill or gets hurt before doctors arrive. It's believed that the 10 minutes after an accident can make a difference between life and death. So let's learn some common sense about first aid.

    Burns

    If it's not very serious, cool the burned area quickly with cool but not cold running water.

Don't put ice on burns. If burns are on the face, ask the person to sit up. If burns are on arms or legs,keep them higher than the heart.

    Nosebleed

    Let the person lean (倾斜) forward a little bit and ask him to pinch(捏) the soft part of the nose with his fingers. Don't move the head backwards, as the blood may run into the mouth or lungs.

Heart attack

    If you come across someone probably stopping breathing, call 120 immediately. Let the patient lie down and loosen(解开) his tight clothing while communicating with him. If the patient doesn't respond(反应), perform CPR. Give chest compressions(胸部按压)at a speed of 100-120 compressions per minute. After 30 compressions, begin rescue breathing(人工呼吸).

    In this world, there are accidents happening every second. Everyone should master some knowledge about first aid, so that we can help ourselves as well as others in time.

                 Well, here we were, stuck in the steamboat(汽船) with two bad men inside.

                “We've got to find their boat now,”I told Jim. “We need it for ourselves.”

                 Jim was so scared(恐惧地) that he was shaking. I was nervous, too. But we had

               to keep our heads. It was slow work, but soon we found their small boat tied up on the side.

    I was ready to hop(跳上) in when the door opened and one of the men poked(探出) his head out. I held my breath, not daring to move. But then he went back in. Jim and I hopped in that boat quickly and cut the rope. We pushed off and headed down the river, looking for our raft(木筏).

    We floated(漂浮) along for several miles and then we found it and climbed aboard it. We wanted to get to Cairo, a town on the Ohio River. It was a free state, and Jim would no longer be a slave(奴隶)there. But we had to be careful not to pass it.

    Jim hid in a wigwam (棚屋) during the day in order not to be seen. But one day I saw a couple of men. They were after five runaway slaves. They asked me if my friend was black and wanted to

check.

    According to UNESCO(教科文组织),a large number of children in villages in some African countries like Kenya and Tanzania do not go to school. They have to work to make money for their family. And more than half of people in these countries live without electricity(电).

    A company is now working to solve(解决) both of these problems. It has built a special solar power station(太阳能电站), which is in the shape of a cow, called "Solar Cow". The company encourages(鼓励) parents in those poor villages to send their children to school by setting up Solar

Cows at schools.

    Just like its name, the Solar Cow can charge batteries(给电池充电) called “Solar Milk”. The

Solar Milks provide electricity for the families.

    The batteries can only be charged using the Solar Cow, so children have to go to school to get the electricity. Every day, children put their batteries into the bottom of their school's Solar Cow.

They go to class while the batteries are being charged. At the end of the day, they take the charged

batteries home.

    Each fully-charged Solar Milk battery can charge a mobile phone three or four times, or a radio once or twice. The battery is also a flashlight(手电筒), and it can provide ten hours of light. “My father used to travel two to three hours to the charging shop to charge his phone, and it cost a lot,”a boy said. “But now, he can use the battery I bring from school to charge his phone at home.”

    Since 2018, this company has set up two Solar Cows in Kenya and one in Tanzania. The company also started to raise money for more Solar Cows to help the poor children in Africa.

Welcome to Nanjing

The weather in Liyang changes quickly in January. When the cold air comes, the temperature can be as low as five below zero. It sometimes snows, but seldom snows heavily. Usually, when it is sunny, the weather can be very warm, with the highest temperature reaching 10 degrees. So please prepare enough clothes when you come.

Liyang is an old city with many places of interest. I advise you to climb the Nanshan Bamboo Forest when it snows. You can enjoy beautiful views there. And when it is fine, you can take a boat trip on Tianmu Lake. I am sure you will enjoy yourself in Liyang.

One minute before, it was pretty sunny, and then the sky was dark. At that time, we were right on top of Huangshan. But we had to go down because it was also not safe to stay on the top. When we finally got to the foot, we were all wet. However, something worse happened. Because it was raining, we spent one hour in a taxi. We were also caught in traffic. When we finally got to the hotel, we were too tired to say anything.
