RISE is an exciting project designed and led by young people, for young people. Created by St John Ambulance, the nation's leading first aid charity, the project is now available in communities across the country. If you're aged between 16 and 25 years old, and are not in employment, education or training, RISE could help you learn new skills, and improve your prospects.
What you'll learn
St John Ambulance believes that everyone should have access to first aid, and we are devoted to equipping as many people as possible with the skills to be the difference between life and death. As a participant, you'll learn first aid through our Stick-it sessions, and also get the opportunity to develop new skills, giving you the confidence to train others in your community, or the qualifications in youth leadership you need to get your career up and running.
Choosing the right path for you
At the heart of the RISE project is a commitment to peer-to-peer learning. As well as being taught first aid, you'll be given the skills and guidance to pass your knowledge on to other people in your community. RISE offers you the chance to gain a lot of qualifications and to choose a path that helps you make the most of your talents.
Stick-it: Our one-day introduction to first aid focuses on gun- and knife-related injuries. You'll find out how to manage an incident and learn some of the most commonly needed first aid skills.
First aid: You'll focus on CPR (心肺复苏术), bleeding and dealing with an emergency situation in this six-hour course.
Keeping children safe: It is a course designed for those who come into contact with children through their work or leisure activities. This short programme works by helping individuals to understand the unusual role they play in keeping children safe from harm.
Basic skills in youth work: This course provides an introduction to St John Ambulance and is the minimum qualification for a youth leadership role within the organisation.

When we long live together, we quickly learn to foresee the near-term behaviours of our co-workers or family members. Our ability to predict the actions of others makes it easier to successfully live and work together. In contrast, even the most intelligent and advanced robots have remained inept at this sort of communication. This may be about to change.
The study, conducted by Mechanical Engineering Professor Hod Lipson, is part of a broader effort to provide robots with the ability to understand and predict what others want. The researchers first built a subject robot and placed it in a playpen. They programmed the robot to seek and move towards any green circle it could see. But there was a hidden difficulty: Sometimes the robot could see a green circle in its camera and move directly towards it. But at other times, the green circle would be blocked by a tall red cardboard box, in which case the robot would move towards a different green circle, or not at all.
After “researching” its partner on screen long, the new robot was eventually able to get its partner's goal and path 98 out of 100 times, across varying situations. When starting the experiment, the researchers expected the robot might learn to make predictions about the subject robot's near-term actions. What the researchers didn't expect, however, was how accurately it could foresee the moves with only a few seconds of video.
“Our initial results are very exciting, showing how robots can see the world from another robot's view，” says Lipson. “The understanding ability of the new robot is perhaps a primitive form of sensing others' feelings, which we all can do.”
Meanwhile, he acknowledges there're many moral questions. The technology will make robots more adaptable and useful and no longer passive instruction-following machines, but when robots can predict how humans think, they may also learn to control or influence those thoughts.
4. What does the underlined word “inept” in the first paragraph mean
A．Careful. B．Smart.
C．Active. D．Poor.
5. What is the experiment designed to find
A．How a robot moves towards the targeted object.
B．Whether a robot can predict other robots' goals.
C．Whether robots can work together like humans.
D．How accurately a robot foresees its partner's moves.
6. How does the robot gain the understanding ability
A．By communication. B．By following its camera.
C．By visual observation. D．By experiencing various tests.
7. What does Lipson think of the new robot
A．It bears human characteristics. B．It has some kind of moral values.
C．It might replace human beings. D．It is an instruction-following machine.
C
People who possess high self-esteem are able to commit better and produce a greater bond in relationships with others. Dr Douglas feels that most people do not value themselves, but with love and self-respect anyone can be above normality and grasp success with the family, the office or others.
We have become too reliant on intelligence, beauty and money for our own self-esteem. The loss of esteem reduces the will and ability to set and reach goals. In a series of readings, Douglas teaches how to avoid negative statements, how to change them into self-facing behaviour and how to take charge of your mental attitude. Where other motivational and self-help works stop with the theoretical plan for success, Douglas takes everyday examples and puts them into his books. From raising children who believe in themselves to using self-esteem to help bridge the gap in the workplace, he gives readers concrete solutions to the problems that might ruin their interpersonal relations.
Self-esteem building comes from filling your thoughts with positive affirmations (肯定) and learning to react to failures with motivation instead of self-destruction. These lessons are valuable for anyone who feels that life is even slightly out of control. People who feel they have adequate esteem can learn to use it to make their success grander, faster and more beneficial for others. Douglas approaches this process of self-development as a means of more than creating good things for the individual but also for setting up keys for influencing good things for others.
For more than thirty years, Dr Douglas has addressed more than two million people on topics from time management to speaking effectively to raising drug-free children. He is the author of fifteen books, including How to Make a Habit of Succeeding.
8. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A．Most people behave well enough. B．Self-respect means being above normality.
C．Self-esteem matters much. D．Committing better equals greater success.
9. Why does Douglas put everyday examples into his books
A．To be reliant on self-esteem. B．To set and reach goals.
C．To avoid negative thoughts. D．To offer concrete solutions.
10. What does the author advise those whose life is slightly out of control to do
A．Learn to be positive. B．Face it unmotivatedly.
C．Admit self-destruction. D．Ask for help.
11. What's the most important thing for self-development
A．Influencing the individual. B．Influencing more people.
C．Gaining more benefits. D．Speaking more effectively.

Migration (迁徙) ecologist Sissel Sj berg has long wondered how tiny birds like the great reed warbler (大苇莺) can make it across long expanses of water or desert on their migrations. Though just half the weight of a golf ball, they fly 7，000 kilometres between Northern Europe and sub-Saharan Africa twice a year. Now, a new study may have the answer: These nighttime birds fly well into the day—and at heights of up to 6，000 metres, three times as high as they normally fly.
More than 4，000 species of birds migrate across long distances each year. It's challenging to equip small songbirds with the tracking devices that make such research possible. To see whether she could change that, Sj berg joined the lab of Lund University Dennis Hasselquist. The pair turned to great reed warblers, relatively large songbirds that summer at a lake near Lund University. Scientists there have monitored the species' breeding (繁殖) and behaviour for 40 years.
To track the warblers, Sj berg, Hasselquist, and colleagues equipped them with small backpacks that can monitor their journeys. As expected, the migrants usually spent their nights flying and rested during the day. But most birds that hit a water or desert crossing near dawn kept going as the sun rose, climbing high into the sky. Some birds flew higher than 6，000 metres. That's not quite as high as the 8，000 metres geese hit, but it's still a tall order, Sj berg says, “We have never even imagined that songbirds regularly would fly this high.”
Such altitudes can be stressful. At 6，000 metres, oxygen isn't enough and the temperature is below freezing. Somehow the birds are able to cope. “The ease at which they fly that high is unbelievable，” Sj berg says.
12. How high does the great reed warbler fly usually
A．Around 6，000 metres. B．About 2，000 metres.
C．7，000 metres. D．3，500 metres.
13. What was Sj berg and Hasselquist's purpose in carrying out the study
A．To distinguish large and small birds.
B．To track the migration paths of geese.
C．To learn about the migration of small songbirds.
D．To monitor the songbirds' breeding and behaviour.
14. How does Sj berg feel about warblers' high flight
A．Amazed. B．Doubtful.
C．Stressed. D．Worried.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A．Migration Biologists Sing High Praise for Tiny Birds
B．Different Species Cross Long Distances in Different Ways
C．Researchers Have Found a New Way to Study Bird Species
D．Tiny Songbirds Cross Deserts and Seas by Flying Higher Than Usual
Ⅱ. 七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
An impromptu (即兴的) speech is an unplanned speech delivered on the spot without preparation. 16 . Of course, it will come unannounced, and you will not be prepared, but you still have to present the best version of yourself. Here are some tips that will help you with your impromptu speech.
Learn to describe what is around you.
Every day we come across a lot of different situations and meet a lot of other people. It is easy to describe a person and your encounter with them. 17 . Therefore, you need to learn the art of describing everyday issues and form opinions, and improve your vocabulary for descriptive situations.
Organise your thoughts.
18 . Put the ones that are going first in your speech in order of importance. Keep your sessions engaging and short, and the audience should be able to identify with you.
19 ．
Now that you have learned the art of describing things around you, try to recall the most relevant experience. Think about a story and express how you feel at that very moment. Don't try to be more formal than usual and speak from your heart.
Turn it into Q&A．
When you lack impromptu speech ideas and do not know much about the topic, it is best to avoid long sessions. Instead, keep your speech brief and ask specific questions to make the sessions interactive. 20 ．
A．Tell a story
B．Try to be open and honest
C．Your aim is to hold the attention of your audience
D．But it may be hard to describe a city or a book you like
E．Try to focus on the topic given to you and generate relevant ideas
F．Specific occasions like dinner parties and job interviews call for an important speech
G．Then, when you connect with your audience, it does not matter much what you are saying

For kids, washing dishes isn't a boring job. Standing at the sink with water dripping down onto their bare feet was a fun way to wash dishes for my children when they were 21 .

My husband invited our son to 31 him. After that, our son had no problem taking his 32 with the other kids.
This was one of those moments that made a 33 to our son. Yes, men wash dishes; dad demonstrates his love and 34 with their mum. Helping and loving each other does not go 35 in the eyes of children who are learning to develop their relationships.

One June evening, Sylvia, 8, was driving her cow home through the woods. Suddenly a clear whistle broke the peace. Before she could hide into the bushes, she was stopped by a young man, who carried a gun over his shoulder. “Hello, little girl. I am hunting for some birds but I have lost my way，” he said kindly. “Can I spend the night in your house？” Sylvia hesitated for a while and agreed to take him home at last.
Sylvia's grandma was really kind. She cooked for the young man and chatted with him. “Sylvia is very shy but she is popular with birds，” Grandma said proudly. “Birds come and feed right out of her hands, and all sorts of birds.”
“So Sylvia knows all about birds ” he asked excitedly. “I am making a collection of birds myself.”
“Do you cage them up ” asked Grandma.
“Oh no, they're stuffed (制作标本) and preserved，” said the young man. “I came here for a white heron (鹭), a tall white bird with long thin legs. It would have a nest perhaps in the top of a high tree.” He looked at Sylvia, hoping for some answers. Sylvia's heart gave a wild beat. She knew the bird, but she said nothing.
“I would offer ten dollars to any helper，” the man added desperately. Ten dollars was really a big sum. Sylvia agreed with a nod.
The next day they started early, the young man going first and Sylvia following. He proved to be really kind and told her many things about birds. She could not understand why he killed the very birds he seemed to like so much. In the evening, they returned, empty-handed.
Lying in bed, Sylvia suddenly thought of a great pine-tree, which stood at the farther edge of the woods and towered far above the others. “If I climb it at daybreak, maybe I could easily discover from where the white heron flew, and mark the place, and find the hidden nest，” she thought. What a big secret!

Sylvia stole out of the house before daybreak. She managed to reach the tall tree. Then she began mounting to the top of it with her bare feet and hands. Her coat got torn and dusty. When she ended up on the top of the pine tree, she felt dizzy and fearful, but suddenly she spotted a white heron resting on a nest close to the tall tree. Sylvia nearly burst into cries. She knew she would soon get rich. However, thinking that the beautiful bird would soon be stuffed, she hesitated on her way back home.
Seeing Sylvia back in dust, Grandma and the young man were surprised. “Where have you gone？” The old grandmother scolded her in an annoyed voice. And the young man looked straight in her eyes eagerly, waiting for an answer. Yet, she bit her lip tightly. Though knowing he would keep his promise, she still kept silent. On the way back, she had made up her mind not to let out any secret about the white heron. However much she was paid, nothing was more valuable than the life in nature.

When we long live together, we quickly learn to foresee the near-term behaviours of our co-workers or family members. Our ability to predict the actions of others makes it easier to successfully live and work together. In contrast, even the most intelligent and advanced robots have remained inept at this sort of communication. This may be about to change.
The study, conducted by Mechanical Engineering Professor Hod Lipson, is part of a broader effort to provide robots with the ability to understand and predict what others want. The researchers first built a subject robot and placed it in a playpen. They programmed the robot to seek and move towards any green circle it could see. But there was a hidden difficulty: Sometimes the robot could see a green circle in its camera and move directly towards it. But at other times, the green circle would be blocked by a tall red cardboard box, in which case the robot would move towards a different green circle, or not at all.
After “researching” its partner on screen long, the new robot was eventually able to get its partner's goal and path 98 out of 100 times, across varying situations. When starting the experiment, the researchers expected the robot might learn to make predictions about the subject robot's near-term actions. What the researchers didn't expect, however, was how accurately it could foresee the moves with only a few seconds of video.
“Our initial results are very exciting, showing how robots can see the world from another robot's view，” says Lipson. “The understanding ability of the new robot is perhaps a primitive form of sensing others' feelings, which we all can do.”
Meanwhile, he acknowledges there're many moral questions. The technology will make robots more adaptable and useful and no longer passive instruction-following machines, but when robots can predict how humans think, they may also learn to control or influence those thoughts.
4. What does the underlined word “inept” in the first paragraph mean
A．Careful. B．Smart.
C．Active. D．Poor.
5. What is the experiment designed to find
A．How a robot moves towards the targeted object.
B．Whether a robot can predict other robots' goals.
C．Whether robots can work together like humans.
D．How accurately a robot foresees its partner's moves.
6. How does the robot gain the understanding ability
A．By communication. B．By following its camera.
C．By visual observation. D．By experiencing various tests.
7. What does Lipson think of the new robot
A．It bears human characteristics. B．It has some kind of moral values.
C．It might replace human beings. D．It is an instruction-following machine.

People who possess high self-esteem are able to commit better and produce a greater bond in relationships with others. Dr Douglas feels that most people do not value themselves, but with love and self-respect anyone can be above normality and grasp success with the family, the office or others.
We have become too reliant on intelligence, beauty and money for our own self-esteem. The loss of esteem reduces the will and ability to set and reach goals. In a series of readings, Douglas teaches how to avoid negative statements, how to change them into self-facing behaviour and how to take charge of your mental attitude. Where other motivational and self-help works stop with the theoretical plan for success, Douglas takes everyday examples and puts them into his books. From raising children who believe in themselves to using self-esteem to help bridge the gap in the workplace, he gives readers concrete solutions to the problems that might ruin their interpersonal relations.
Self-esteem building comes from filling your thoughts with positive affirmations (肯定) and learning to react to failures with motivation instead of self-destruction. These lessons are valuable for anyone who feels that life is even slightly out of control. People who feel they have adequate esteem can learn to use it to make their success grander, faster and more beneficial for others. Douglas approaches this process of self-development as a means of more than creating good things for the individual but also for setting up keys for influencing good things for others.
For more than thirty years, Dr Douglas has addressed more than two million people on topics from time management to speaking effectively to raising drug-free children. He is the author of fifteen books, including How to Make a Habit of Succeeding.
8. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A．Most people behave well enough. B．Self-respect means being above normality.
C．Self-esteem matters much. D．Committing better equals greater success.
9. Why does Douglas put everyday examples into his books
A．To be reliant on self-esteem. B．To set and reach goals.
C．To avoid negative thoughts. D．To offer concrete solutions.
10. What does the author advise those whose life is slightly out of control to do
A．Learn to be positive. B．Face it unmotivatedly.
C．Admit self-destruction. D．Ask for help.
11. What's the most important thing for self-development
A．Influencing the individual. B．Influencing more people.
C．Gaining more benefits. D．Speaking more effectively.

Migration (迁徙) ecologist Sissel Sj berg has long wondered how tiny birds like the great reed warbler (大苇莺) can make it across long expanses of water or desert on their migrations. Though just half the weight of a golf ball, they fly 7，000 kilometres between Northern Europe and sub-Saharan Africa twice a year. Now, a new study may have the answer: These nighttime birds fly well into the day—and at heights of up to 6，000 metres, three times as high as they normally fly.
More than 4，000 species of birds migrate across long distances each year. It's challenging to equip small songbirds with the tracking devices that make such research possible. To see whether she could change that, Sj berg joined the lab of Lund University Dennis Hasselquist. The pair turned to great reed warblers, relatively large songbirds that summer at a lake near Lund University. Scientists there have monitored the species' breeding (繁殖) and behaviour for 40 years.
To track the warblers, Sj berg, Hasselquist, and colleagues equipped them with small backpacks that can monitor their journeys. As expected, the migrants usually spent their nights flying and rested during the day. But most birds that hit a water or desert crossing near dawn kept going as the sun rose, climbing high into the sky. Some birds flew higher than 6，000 metres. That's not quite as high as the 8，000 metres geese hit, but it's still a tall order, Sj berg says, “We have never even imagined that songbirds regularly would fly this high.”
Such altitudes can be stressful. At 6，000 metres, oxygen isn't enough and the temperature is below freezing. Somehow the birds are able to cope. “The ease at which they fly that high is unbelievable，” Sj berg says.
12. How high does the great reed warbler fly usually
A．Around 6，000 metres. B．About 2，000 metres.
C．7，000 metres. D．3，500 metres.
13. What was Sj berg and Hasselquist's purpose in carrying out the study
A．To distinguish large and small birds.
B．To track the migration paths of geese.
C．To learn about the migration of small songbirds.
D．To monitor the songbirds' breeding and behaviour.
14. How does Sj berg feel about warblers' high flight
A．Amazed. B．Doubtful.
C．Stressed. D．Worried.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A．Migration Biologists Sing High Praise for Tiny Birds
B．Different Species Cross Long Distances in Different Ways
C．Researchers Have Found a New Way to Study Bird Species
D．Tiny Songbirds Cross Deserts and Seas by Flying Higher Than Usual
Ⅱ. 七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
An impromptu (即兴的) speech is an unplanned speech delivered on the spot without preparation. 16 . Of course, it will come unannounced, and you will not be prepared, but you still have to present the best version of yourself. Here are some tips that will help you with your impromptu speech.
Learn to describe what is around you.
Every day we come across a lot of different situations and meet a lot of other people. It is easy to describe a person and your encounter with them. 17 . Therefore, you need to learn the art of describing everyday issues and form opinions, and improve your vocabulary for descriptive situations.
Organise your thoughts.
18 . Put the ones that are going first in your speech in order of importance. Keep your sessions engaging and short, and the audience should be able to identify with you.
19 ．
Now that you have learned the art of describing things around you, try to recall the most relevant experience. Think about a story and express how you feel at that very moment. Don't try to be more formal than usual and speak from your heart.
Turn it into Q&A．
When you lack impromptu speech ideas and do not know much about the topic, it is best to avoid long sessions. Instead, keep your speech brief and ask specific questions to make the sessions interactive. 20 ．
A．Tell a story
B．Try to be open and honest
C．Your aim is to hold the attention of your audience
D．But it may be hard to describe a city or a book you like
E．Try to focus on the topic given to you and generate relevant ideas
F．Specific occasions like dinner parties and job interviews call for an important speech
G．Then, when you connect with your audience, it does not matter much what you are saying

For kids, washing dishes isn't a boring job. Standing at the sink with water dripping down onto their bare feet was a fun way to wash dishes for my children when they were 21 .

One June evening, Sylvia, 8, was driving her cow home through the woods. Suddenly a clear whistle broke the peace. Before she could hide into the bushes, she was stopped by a young man, who carried a gun over his shoulder. “Hello, little girl. I am hunting for some birds but I have lost my way，” he said kindly. “Can I spend the night in your house？” Sylvia hesitated for a while and agreed to take him home at last.
Sylvia's grandma was really kind. She cooked for the young man and chatted with him. “Sylvia is very shy but she is popular with birds，” Grandma said proudly. “Birds come and feed right out of her hands, and all sorts of birds.”
“So Sylvia knows all about birds ” he asked excitedly. “I am making a collection of birds myself.”
“Do you cage them up ” asked Grandma.
“Oh no, they're stuffed (制作标本) and preserved，” said the young man. “I came here for a white heron (鹭), a tall white bird with long thin legs. It would have a nest perhaps in the top of a high tree.” He looked at Sylvia, hoping for some answers. Sylvia's heart gave a wild beat. She knew the bird, but she said nothing.
“I would offer ten dollars to any helper，” the man added desperately. Ten dollars was really a big sum. Sylvia agreed with a nod.
The next day they started early, the young man going first and Sylvia following. He proved to be really kind and told her many things about birds. She could not understand why he killed the very birds he seemed to like so much. In the evening, they returned, empty-handed.
Lying in bed, Sylvia suddenly thought of a great pine-tree, which stood at the farther edge of the woods and towered far above the others. “If I climb it at daybreak, maybe I could easily discover from where the white heron flew, and mark the place, and find the hidden nest，” she thought. What a big secret!

Sylvia stole out of the house before daybreak. She managed to reach the tall tree. Then she began mounting to the top of it with her bare feet and hands. Her coat got torn and dusty. When she ended up on the top of the pine tree, she felt dizzy and fearful, but suddenly she spotted a white heron resting on a nest close to the tall tree. Sylvia nearly burst into cries. She knew she would soon get rich. However, thinking that the beautiful bird would soon be stuffed, she hesitated on her way back home.
Seeing Sylvia back in dust, Grandma and the young man were surprised. “Where have you gone？” The old grandmother scolded her in an annoyed voice. And the young man looked straight in her eyes eagerly, waiting for an answer. Yet, she bit her lip tightly. Though knowing he would keep his promise, she still kept silent. On the way back, she had made up her mind not to let out any secret about the white heron. However much she was paid, nothing was more valuable than the life in nature.
