Day 1-4. 语篇提升-阅读
Diana was shopping in a busy store after work one evening. Just five minutes before closing time, she heard a shop worker saying, “Someone’s having a seizure (疾病突发)”.
Walking quickly towards the shop worker, Diana saw a shopper on the ground. She was lying on the floor, jerking uncontrollably (控制不住地抽搐). A small group of people crowded to help the woman and a shop worker called an ambulance.
Diana knew that she could use what she had learned from her first-aid training to help as well.
“The seizure was very different from the way people usually move,” Diana said. “The woman’s movements were so powerful that her glasses flew off her face. ”
Knowing it was important to keep the woman safe, one of the workers brought over a blanket and put it under the woman’s head so she wouldn’t hurt herself.
“The seizure probably lasted only a few minutes, but it seemed much longer while it was going on,” Diana said. “When the jerking stopped, a man helped turn the woman onto her side. I then tilted (倾斜) her head back to help her keep breathing (呼吸). After the seizure, the woman seemed not to be able to understand what we were saying and couldn’t speak. Luckily, I learned that this could happen after a seizure and it might take some time for people to get back to feeling like their normal selves. It was such a relief (宽慰) when she finally answered that she was OK. ”
By this time, the ambulance was on its way, so the other shoppers who had helped left.
“As I was leaving, one of the store’s workers said, ‘Thank you for your kindness.’ I was very touched by her words, and I told her that I’d learned first aid in case something like this ever happened, and now it had,” Diana said. “Although the accident left me feeling very shaken, I was glad I knew what to do to help. ”

They make you feel less pain and can make people feel happier. 3. . Your muscles（肌肉）move in and out when you are laughing.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house How will you escape（逃跑） Do you know how to save yourself Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average（平均高度）person, hanging by the fingertips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leak（渗）into the room.
On second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely.
Dropping onto cement（水泥）might end in injury. Bushes（灌木丛）and grass can help to break a fall.
