Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisonings.In cases like this, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison in the container. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it.Millions of people know how to give abdominal thrusts (腹部按压) to save a person choking on something trapped in the throat. The American Red Cross says a rescuer should first hit the person on the back five times between the shoulder bones. If the airway is still blocked, the Red Cross suggests pushing hard five times on the victim’s abdomen. You can do these abdominal thrusts by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person.The Mayo Clinic’s health centers suggest several steps if bleeding is severe. First, if possible, remove dirt from the wound and press it with a clean cloth or piece of clothing. In the past, people were advised to stop severe bleeding with a tourniquet (止血带). But experts now say tourniquets are dangerous because they can crush (压坏) blood passages and nerves. If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can spread the Infection. Treat the wound with a mixture of salt and water until medical Help arrives.To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or an organization like the Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information. Training may be offered in your area.If you know first aid methods, you can be calmer and more helpful in case of emergency. 4.Which of the following is NOT the cause of accidental poisonings according to the passage?

In May of that year in Berlin, the philosopher-artist Jonathon Keats' "century cameras'' — cameras with a 100-year-long exposure (曝光)time — will be brought back from hiding places around the city to have their results developed and exhibited Six months after that, the Future Library in Oslo, Norway, will open its doors for the first time, presenting 100 books printed on the wood of trees planted in the distant past of 2015.As Katie Paterson, the creator of the Future Library, puts it: **Future Library is an artwork for future generations/' These projects, more than a century in the making, are part of a new wave of "slow art'' intended to push viewers and participants to think beyond their own lifetimes. They aim to challenge today's short-term thinking and the brief attention spans of modem consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately. In their way, too, they are fighting against modem culture — not just regarding money, but also the way in which artistic worth is measured by attention.In a similar fashion, every April on Slow Art Day, visitors are encouraged to stare at five works of art for 10 minutes at a time — a tough task for the average museum visitor, who typically spends less than 30 seconds on each piece of art.Like the Future Library, the century cameras are very much a project for cities, since it's in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest. "Since I started living in a city, I've somehow been quite disconnected/' Anne Beate Hovind, the Future Library project manager, who described how working on the library drew her back to the pace of life she knew when she was growing up on a farm in her youth, told the Atlantic magazine.12.What will NOT happen in2115 according to the first paragraph?A.A camera which was produced 100 years ago will be exhibited.B.The Future Library will be open to the public for the first time.C.Photos with a 100-year exposure time will be developed and exhibited.D.Books printed on the wood of trees planted in 2015 will be displayed.13.What can we learn about people's attitude towards works of art nowadays?A.They spend little time on works.B.They pay more attention to works.C.They spend much money on works.D.They stare at works for 10 minutes at a time.14.What is the purpose of the wave of slow art?A.To advocate creating works of art slowly.B.To protect works of art from being damaged.C.To promote works of art for modern culture.D.To encourage people to consider works more deliberately.15.How does Anne Beate Hovind feel about the city life?A.It's discouraging. B.It's awful.C.It's busy. D.It's developed.第二节微.博橙.子辅导(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
