World First Aid Day is a global observance that is held every year on the second Saturday in September to make people learn about how first aid can save lives.It was introduced in the year 2000 by the International Federation of Red Cross （IFRC） and Red Crescent Societies and has been celebrated each year ever since.Around 100 Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies organize ceremonies and events on this day every year.The theme this year is “First Response to Road Crashes” to focus on the importance of giving first aid to save the lives of people involved in road traffic accidents.
Worldwide， about 2 million people are killed and 50 million are injured in road crashes each year； road accidents are the primary reason for death among young people aged 15 to 29， given that 49% of deaths are pedestrians （行人）.For motorcyclists， wearing a motorcycle helmet can reduce the risk of death in the event of a crash （by up to 40%） and the chance of a serious injury （by up to 70%）.Seat belts reduce the risk of death by 45% to 50% for front-seat passengers and up to 75% for rear-seat passengers.Lack of oxygen （or hypoxia） is one of the most common causes of death among traffic accident victims.Road accidents right now rank as the 9th leading cause of death and are expected to climb up to the 7th position by 2030.
To respond to the theme of “First Response to Road Crashes”， the IFRC has a toolkit （软件包） on their website that consists of an interactive quiz， posters， and learning material on first aid in response to a road crash.The learning material lists the “Top 10 Prevention/Simple Actions to help avoid a car crash” and the “Top 10 Action/First Aid actions in case of the road accident”.The interactive quiz evaluates （评估） your behaviour on the road.

The Sister Rice Festival is held every year in Guizhou’s Taijiang County， where 97 per cent of the 168，000 people are from the ethnic （民族的） Miao group.It is an ancient tradition， which brings men and women together through food， gifts and music.
In the days before the festival， young women gather leaves and wild flowers， which they use to dye （给……染色） sticky rice with bright colours.This brightly coloured rice， known as Sister Rice， gives the festival its name.During the festival， the young women dress in beautiful traditional clothes with large amounts of silver jewelry （首饰）.
The festival includes parades， horse races and musical performances.But the real focus is the interaction between the young women and the young men who visit from surrounding villages and sing songs.In one traditional type of song， a man and a woman take turns to sing to each other， and the first one to make a mistake loses the game.The loser must give the winner a gift， but the winner is expected to give a gift in return， too.
After meeting the men， the women send them home with a bamboo basket containing dyed rice and hidden objects with special meanings.For example， a pair of chopsticks indicates that she wants to marry the man， while garlic shows that she is not interested.
One of several stories about the festival’s beginning is about a girl and a boy who fell in love.The girl’s parents wanted her to marry her uncle’s son.She refused， and the boy likewise refused to marry anyone else.For a time， they could only meet in a field and pass hidden messages to each other through rice in a bamboo basket.Finally， the pair overcame their parents’ opposition and were allowed to marry.
The Sister Rice Festival is perhaps the oldest festival in Asia that encourages love.

Maya history has deeply influenced communities like San Antonio in Belize for thousands of years.Today， San Antonio remains Belize’s largest Maya community.But like many places in the world， there are lots of challenges， especially for women seeking education and employment （工作）.
Timotea Mesh， however， stands out as a sign of hope.Born into a large family of 10 children， Timotea recalls her early life in San Antonio：“We worked the land just like everyone else in our community to feed our family.I married young with very little education.But I’d always loved to read.As a young mother， I wanted to improve my family’s life.”
It was through reading that Timotea learned about traditional Mayan arts and crafts （工艺）.When talking with friends， Timotea quickly realized that the women in her community were just like her， all looking to learn new skills， find more ways to earn an income and ensure their culture wasn’t lost.She invited them to join her in the evenings to practice traditional cooking， pottery and embroidery （陶艺和刺绣）.In 2001， Timotea founded San Antonio Women’s Cooperative （合作社）.
Thanks to the success of the tourism business， many travelers visit San Antonio.Visitors to the cooperative can try their hand at ancient pottery-making techniques with a group of Mayan craftswomen， enjoy a delicious traditional meal， and have a chance to buy pottery and other crafts made by the women in the community.All the money the cooperative earns goes back to the community， providing scholarships for young women to continue their education.
“We face many challenges to keep our culture and traditions alive and， like many mothers in my community， I didn’t teach my own children our local language because I thought they’d have better opportunities if I brought them up speaking English and Spanish.I’m now trying to change that； I hope it’s not too late.My vision （愿景） for the future is to keep protecting our roots， so we can pass our traditions down to our children and the generations to come，” Timotea states.

Alex around the world
10 January， a wedding ceremony①， India
When Nadim invited me to his sister’s wedding， I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime.I was definitely not wrong！
The wedding ceremony took place② in a brightly decorated③ hotel room.[1]There were hundreds of④ guests， all dressed up in formal⑤，colourful clothes.According to tradition⑥， the bride⑦ was wearing an eye-catching⑧ red silk sari.
[2]I did not understand all of the traditional customs⑨， but a few made a deep impression⑩ on me.One was the bridegroom’s entrance on a beautiful white horse.I had never seen that back home！[3]Another was the part when Nadim’s father proudly led his daughter through the rows of seats to her husband.It reminded me of my sister’s wedding.Although our cultures are so different， the smiling faces are the same.
[1]句中all dressed up in formal， colourful clothes是一个独立主格结构，代词all作逻辑主语。
[2]本句整体上是由but连接的并列句，否定词not与all连用，表示部分否定，意为“并非都……”。
[3]句中when引导定语从句，修饰先行词the part，part在此处可翻译为“环节”。
The customs that followed were anything but ordinary .The couple joined hands and walked around a small fire four times.[4]Then they took seven steps together by the fire， and with each step made a different promise about how they were going to support each other and live together happily.It was very romantic ！
After the ceremony， it was time for the celebrations.That is a story for another day， but let’s just say there was a lot of dancing.Now I know I have two left feet ...and both of them hurt！
26 February， Rio Carnival， Brazil
The summer heat hit me as soon as I got off the flight .No wonder people from Rio take a week off for this happy occasion .I could feel it already — the Carnival was in the air ！
To experience the spirit of the Carnival for myself， I went to a street party.Luckily， I arrived just in time — the show was about to begin as I took my place in the merry crowd.[5]I could see a group of around 20 Brazilian dancers and a band in fancy costumes standing in the street.Some of them carried flags， which blew in the wind.The crowd waited with excitement.
[4]句中took seven steps和made a different promise是并列谓语；介词about后接how引导的宾语从句。
[5]see sb doing sth意为“看见某人正在做某事”； in fancy costumes作后置定语，修饰宾语a group of around 20 Brazilian dancers and a band；动词-ing短语standing in the street 作宾语补足语。
Then there was an explosion of bright colours and lively music， and the group jumped into action.The band started playing an energetic samba beat， the dancers twisted and turned， and the crowd began to cheer， clap and sing.The whole group started marching down the street.[6]The Carnival current carried us through the ever-growing sea of people， dancing all the way.Iceboxes of soft drinks and beer lined the narrow streets， and the smell of roasted meat filled the air as we passed wave after wave of street stands .[7]I was so caught up in the party fever that I hardly noticed five hours fly by！
[6]动词-ing短语dancing all the way在句中作伴随状语。
[7]so ...that ...意为“如此……以至于……”，引导结果状语从句。
Even as I lay in bed that evening， the bright colours and lively music were still swimming all around me.What an amazing first day in Rio！

亚力克斯环球游记
一月十日，一场婚礼，印度
当纳迪姆邀请我参加他妹妹的婚礼时，我觉得这是个千载难逢的好机会。结果我还真没猜错！
婚礼在一间装饰华美的酒店包房内举行，到场宾客数以百计，个个身着色彩艳丽的礼服。遵照传统，新娘身穿一袭分外夺目的红丝绸莎丽。
不是所有的传统习俗我都了解，但有一些给我留下了深刻的印象。一个是新郎入场时竟骑着一匹俊美的白马。这我在国内可从未见过！再就是纳迪姆的父亲自豪地领着女儿，穿过一排排座位走向新郎的环节。这一幕让我想起了我妹妹的婚礼。尽管文化殊异，但含笑的面孔却是一样的。
接下来的风俗绝对不寻常。新婚夫妇携手围着一个小火堆走上四圈，然后在火堆旁一起走七步，每走一步，都要立一条誓言，誓言里讲的都是二人将来会如何相互扶持，如何幸福地共同生活。真是太浪漫了！
仪式之后，就是欢庆的时刻了。这个话题改日再聊，但是先这么说吧，（那天）舞跳了不少。现在我只知道我“有两只左脚”……而且两只都疼得不行！
二月二十六日，里约狂欢节，巴西
一下飞机，就有一股暑热袭来。难怪里约人民要为这场欢乐的庆典放假一周。我已经感觉到了——这狂欢节的气氛！
为了切身体验狂欢节的精神，我加入了一个街头派对。来得早不如来得巧——我刚在欢乐的人群中找好位置，表演就要开始了。我看到一群人，其中有大约二十名巴西舞者以及一支乐队，他们身着华丽的服装站在街头，有人还拿着旗子，旗子随风飘荡着。人们激动地翘首以待。
突然，鲜艳的色彩和热烈的音乐喷薄而出，歌舞队应声一跃而起。乐队奏起劲爆的桑巴节拍，跳舞的人扭动腰身，人群开始欢呼、鼓掌、歌唱。歌舞队全体开始沿街前行。狂欢节的人潮带着我们穿过不断扩张的人海，一路上跳舞不停。我们经过一波又一波街头小摊时，装着汽水和啤酒的保冷箱排列在狭窄的街道两边，空气中弥漫着烤肉的味道。我深深地沉迷于派对的狂热中，不知不觉五个小时已经过去了！
即使晚上我躺在床上的时候，那鲜艳的色彩和热烈的音乐依然在我脑海中盘旋游弋。里约首日，多么奇妙的一天！

【参考译文】
亚力克斯环球游记
一月十日，一场婚礼，印度
当纳迪姆邀请我参加他妹妹的婚礼时，我觉得这是个千载难逢的
好机会。结果我还真没猜错！
婚礼在一间装饰华美的酒店包房内举行，到场宾客数以百计，个
个身着色彩艳丽的礼服。遵照传统，新娘身穿一袭分外夺目的红丝绸
莎丽。
不是所有的传统习俗我都了解，但有一些给我留下了深刻的印
象。一个是新郎入场时竟骑着一匹俊美的白马。这我在国内可从未见
过！再就是纳迪姆的父亲自豪地领着女儿，穿过一排排座位走向新郎
的环节。这一幕让我想起了我妹妹的婚礼。尽管文化殊异，但含笑的
面孔却是一样的。
接下来的风俗绝对不寻常。新婚夫妇携手围着一个小火堆走上四
圈，然后在火堆旁一起走七步，每走一步，都要立一条誓言，誓言里
讲的都是二人将来会如何相互扶持，如何幸福地共同生活。真是太浪
漫了！
仪式之后，就是欢庆的时刻了。这个话题改日再聊，但是先这么
说吧，（那天）舞跳了不少。现在我只知道我“有两只左脚”……而
且两只都疼得不行！
二月二十六日，里约狂欢节，巴西
一下飞机，就有一股暑热袭来。难怪里约人民要为这场欢乐的庆
典放假一周。我已经感觉到了——这狂欢节的气氛！
为了切身体验狂欢节的精神，我加入了一个街头派对。来得早不
如来得巧——我刚在欢乐的人群中找好位置，表演就要开始了。我看
到一群人，其中有大约二十名巴西舞者以及一支乐队，他们身着华丽
的服装站在街头，有人还拿着旗子，旗子随风飘荡着。人们激动地翘
首以待。
突然，鲜艳的色彩和热烈的音乐喷薄而出，歌舞队应声一跃而
起。乐队奏起劲爆的桑巴节拍，跳舞的人扭动腰身，人群开始欢呼、
鼓掌、歌唱。歌舞队全体开始沿街前行。狂欢节的人潮带着我们穿过
不断扩张的人海，一路上跳舞不停。我们经过一波又一波街头小摊
时，装着汽水和啤酒的保冷箱排列在狭窄的街道两边，空气中弥漫着
烤肉的味道。我深深地沉迷于派对的狂热中，不知不觉五个小时已经
过去了！
即使晚上我躺在床上的时候，那鲜艳的色彩和热烈的音乐依然在
我脑海中盘旋游弋。里约首日，多么奇妙的一天！

World First Aid Day is a global observance that is held every year on
the second Saturday in September to make people learn about how first aid
can save lives.It was introduced in the year 2000 by the International
Federation of Red Cross （IFRC） and Red Crescent Societies and has
been celebrated each year ever since.Around 100 Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies organize ceremonies and events on this day every
year.The theme this year is “First Response to Road Crashes” to focus
on the importance of giving first aid to save the lives of people involved in
road traffic accidents.
Worldwide， about 2 million people are killed and 50 million are
injured in road crashes each year； road accidents are the primary reason
for death among young people aged 15 to 29， given that 49% of deaths
are pedestrians （行人）.For motorcyclists， wearing a motorcycle
helmet can reduce the risk of death in the event of a crash （by up to
40%） and the chance of a serious injury （by up to 70%）.Seat belts
reduce the risk of death by 45% to 50% for front-seat passengers and up to
75% for rear-seat passengers.Lack of oxygen （or hypoxia） is one of the
most common causes of death among traffic accident victims.
Road accidents right now rank as the 9th leading cause of death and are
expected to climb up to the 7th position by 2030.
To respond to the theme of “First Response to Road Crashes”， the
IFRC has a toolkit （软件包） on their website that consists of an
interactive quiz， posters， and learning material on first aid in response
to a road crash.The learning material lists the “Top 10 Prevention/Simple
Actions to help avoid a car crash” and the “Top 10 Action/First Aid
actions in case of the road accident”.The interactive quiz evaluates （评
估） your behaviour on the road.
It is vital that everyone follows simple rules like respecting other
people and traffic regulations， fastening seat belts， wearing helmets and
high-visibility protective clothing.All these can prevent road crashes.For
more information please click here.

The Sister Rice Festival is held every year in Guizhou’s Taijiang
County， where 97 per cent of the 168，000 people are from the ethnic
（民族的） Miao group.It is an ancient tradition， which brings men and
women together through food， gifts and music.
In the days before the festival， young women gather leaves and wild
flowers， which they use to dye （给……染色） sticky rice with bright
colours.This brightly coloured rice， known as Sister Rice， gives the
festival its name.During the festival， the young women dress in beautiful
traditional clothes with large amounts of silver jewelry （首饰）.
The festival includes parades， horse races and musical
performances.But the real focus is the interaction between the young
women and the young men who visit from surrounding villages and sing
songs.In one traditional type of song， a man and a woman take turns to
sing to each other， and the first one to make a mistake loses the
game.The loser must give the winner a gift， but the winner is expected to
give a gift in return， too.
After meeting the men， the women send them home with a bamboo
basket containing dyed rice and hidden objects with special meanings.For
example， a pair of chopsticks indicates that she wants to marry the
man， while garlic shows that she is not interested.
One of several stories about the festival’s beginning is about a girl
and a boy who fell in love.The girl’s parents wanted her to marry her
uncle’s son.She refused， and the boy likewise refused to marry anyone
else.For a time， they could only meet in a field and pass hidden
messages to each other through rice in a bamboo basket.Finally， the pair
overcame their parents’ opposition and were allowed to marry.
The Sister Rice Festival is perhaps the oldest festival in Asia that
encourages love.

Maya history has deeply influenced communities like San Antonio in
Belize for thousands of years.Today， San Antonio remains Belize’s
largest Maya community.But like many places in the world， there are
lots of challenges， especially for women seeking education and
employment （工作）.
Timotea Mesh， however， stands out as a sign of hope.Born into a
large family of 10 children， Timotea recalls her early life in San
Antonio：“We worked the land just like everyone else in our community
to feed our family.I married young with very little education.But I’d
always loved to read.As a young mother， I wanted to improve my
family’s life.”
It was through reading that Timotea learned about traditional Mayan
arts and crafts （工艺）.When talking with friends， Timotea quickly
realized that the women in her community were just like her， all looking
to learn new skills， find more ways to earn an income and ensure their
culture wasn’t lost.She invited them to join her in the evenings to
practice traditional cooking， pottery and embroidery （陶艺和刺绣）.In
2001， Timotea founded San Antonio Women’s Cooperative （合作
社）.
Thanks to the success of the tourism business， many travelers visit
San Antonio.Visitors to the cooperative can try their hand at ancient
pottery-making techniques with a group of Mayan craftswomen， enjoy a
delicious traditional meal， and have a chance to buy pottery and other
crafts made by the women in the community.All the money the
cooperative earns goes back to the community， providing scholarships
for young women to continue their education.
“We face many challenges to keep our culture and traditions alive
and， like many mothers in my community， I didn’t teach my own
children our local language because I thought they’d have better
opportunities if I brought them up speaking English and Spanish.I’m
now trying to change that； I hope it’s not too late.My vision （愿景）
for the future is to keep protecting our roots， so we can pass our traditions
down to our children and the generations to come，” Timotea states.

说的话可知，Timotea的家庭像社区其他人一样以种地为生，她结
婚早，几乎没有接受过什么教育，但爱读书的她希望能改变家人

the ball from point A to point B. So kids’ visual-spatial （视觉空间）
ability can be improved when they play the game， which can help them
learn subjects like Physics.
Soccer improves the personal character.
The World Health Organization recommends kids get at least 60
minutes of exercise daily.This isn’t only for the physical benefits but
also for the benefits to the personal character.17.（ ） And these kids
often have more self-confidence.
A. Soccer plays a part in school performance.

C. Youth soccer helps improve family relationships.
D. Being part of a team can help you make many friends.
