Unit 5 单元加餐练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Sunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if proper care isn't given immediately.
Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above the safe limit. This causes the body's necessary functions to stop working.
It's usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person's body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.
Call for help
Call to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted (昏倒). Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you're in a public place. If there's no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn't much nearby.
Get the person to a cooler area
If there's a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners and water is perfect. If a building isn't available, bring the person to a well shaded area.
Get the water flowing
If the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there's a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.
If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person's body. Focus on the face, neck, and chest.
Fan the person
Getting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.
1.When does a person get sunstroke
A.When the body doesn't function.
B.When proper care is given immediately.
C.When someone is exposed to the sun too long.
D.When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text
A.Call for assistance from others.
B.Leave the sunstroke person in the shade.
C.Put a wet towel on the person's face.
D.Help the person take some medicine.
3.What is mainly discussed in the passage
A.The first aid for sunstroke.
B.The causes of sunstroke.
C.The chief symptoms of sunstroke.
D.The essential prevention of sunstroke.
4.The text probably comes from a(n) ________.
A.guidebook B.book review
C.medical magazine D.official document

Do People Need Small Talk to Be Happy
Psychologists (心理学家) have long said that connecting with others is an important part of happiness, but just how much conversation we require is under examination. In one study, researchers found that small talk made up only 10% of their conversation related with happiness. __1__ Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding. Late last year, Princeton researchers reported that small talk keeps closeness with loved ones, and isn't merely the stuff of awkward exchanges with strangers.
Still, chatting with strangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago passengers different directions about whether to talk with fellow passengers — something they typically avoided. __2__ None of the chatters reported being rejected.
Small talk can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas (咖啡师) reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction (交易). __3__ One report found that when volunteers broke the silence to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected to the exhibit than those who were not approached.
__4__ In one study, people who were rated “less curious” by researchers had trouble getting a conversation rolling on their own, and had greater luck building closeness with others when they were supplied with questions that encouraged personal disclosure (透露). But people who were considered “curious” needed no help when transforming conversations about ordinary things into personal exchanges. __5__
A.The same is true of gallery goers.
B.But don't play down small talk just yet.
C.They found that small talk is related with happiness.
D.Those told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey.
E.Making small talk is an important skill for all the social situations.
F.A “curious mindset”, the author concluded, can lead to “positive social interactions”.
G.Of course, some people are better than others at turning small talk into something bigger.

语篇解读:闲谈能够促进人与人之间的关系,使人变得快乐。
1.选B 设空前一句提到闲谈只占与快乐相关的对话的10%,设空后一句又提到科学家认为闲谈可以促进人与人之间的关系,设空处应说明要重视闲谈,故B项(但不能贬低闲谈)符合语境。
2.选D 根据设空前一句可知,心理学家在芝加哥的乘客中做了一项实验,故此空应描述实验结果,故D项(那些被告知要和其他人闲聊的乘客觉得旅途更愉快)符合语境。
3.选A 根据下文中的“gallery goers”定位至A项(这种情况也同样出现在常去画廊的人身上),分析设空前和设空后的两个例子可知,两者均是为了证明闲谈能帮助人们与周围环境产生联系。故选A项。
4.选G 根据下文中的“less curious”和“curious”可知,本段存在比较关系,G项中的better than与之相呼应。故选G项。
5.选F 根据设空前一句可知,被认为带着“好奇心”的人在把普通对话转变成个人交流时并不需要外在帮助,故F项(作者得出结论:带着好奇心往往会引起积极的社交互动)符合语境,该项中的curious及interactions与本段中的curious及closeness相照应。

He asked Chen Hui to keep calm. Meanwhile, he asked Li Qiang to call an ambulance. He slapped Chen Hui hard on the back. Soon Chen Hui threw up a piece of potato which was not chewed up thoroughly. The doctor praised Wang Lin and thought highly of his performance.
Everyone should learn some knowledge of first aid like Wang Lin, because it may save one's life in an emergency.
