Passage 1
First aid is a very useful skill to have. By learning it, you could save someone’s life someday. In China, less than one percent of adults have first aid knowledge, according to the China Science Communication website.
The Ministry of Education(MOE) has realized this. On August 24, 2020, it made a statement(声明) along with the Red Cross Society of China. It has asked all public schools in China to provide first aid courses, including CPR(心肺复苏) training, as part of their health classes.
A 2019 survey by the State Council showed that 64.6 percent of schools already have these courses. However, the results have not been good. According to the MOE statement, future results are expected to be better. Other countries have also made efforts to provide first aid training for their citizens.
In 1966, the US government said police officers, firefighters, middle school teachers and college instructors must receive CPR training. A 2017 survey showed that 65 percent of Americans have received CPR training. In Switzerland, all citizens learn first aid skills.

Passage 2
There is always something that we can never forget. And it can really change our life.
Time is important for everyone. It organizes our everyday moments. However, before I received a watch from my father, time never had any importance in my life. It organized my life and made me more responsible.
I received this gift on a Sunday. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a.m. to pick up Uncle Jim and take him to my father’s house. However, I was late because I hung out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 a.m., I remembered my uncle and went to the airport to meet him, but I was too late. He had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.
I got to my father’s house at 2:00 p.m. that day. Looking at my father’s face, I felt ashamed(羞愧的) at that moment. My father asked me to sit next to him and he handed me this watch as a gift. Then he said, “Bob, did you have fun with your friends today ” “Yes, Dad, and I’m sorry about not picking up Uncle Jim,” I replied. He then said, “What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions. I think you should learn something from it, and this watch will be a reminder for you in your future life.” The watch is very important to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.
Today I still remember my father’s words: “Respect time and never be late for anything.”

Ⅲ.任务型阅读(6分)
Thanksgiving is a day for family members and friends. When I lived in France, my friends and I decided to have a “friendsgiving” in November because we were so far away from our homes. We decided to have the dinner at my friend Grace’s apartment in Paris. But it was difficult to get a turkey because French people don’t have Thanksgiving. The day before our “friendsgiving” dinner, Grace and I went to different markets to look for a turkey. It took us hours, but we finally found one.
The next day, everyone brought different foods to share. While we waited for the turkey to be cooked, we played cards and told stories. Suddenly we heard a loud sound BANG! We all ran to the kitchen. The water pipes(水管) under Grace’s kitchen sink(水槽) were broken. The kitchen was filled with water very fast.
“Everyone, take the food up to the roof at once!”Grace shouted. We ran to the roof with all the food. Grace ran outside to turn off the water.
That’s when we realized the turkey was still in the oven. We ran back to the kitchen, found some gloves, and pulled the turkey out of the oven.
In the end, we had an amazing “friendsgiving” dinner on the roof of the house with all of our good friends. The turkey was a little darker but still delicious.
Life is full of the unexpected. Sometimes small problems can become sweet memories. I will never forget this “friendsgiving” dinner.
