【题目】Fearful parents are saying no to sleep-overs(在别人家里过夜),banning children as old as 15 from using public transport on their own and watching over their kids like hawks(鹰)at the local park,according to a new British study.

The survey of 6,099 people commissioned by LV,a charity that educates children about safety,showed that nearly a quarter of children aged 15 or under were not allowed to sleep at a friend's house,60 percent were forbidden to travel on public transport alone and 43 percent couldn't go to the park without a parent or guardian(监护人).

It said more than 60 percent of mums and dads think the world is more dangerous than when they were kids. "It's difficult for parents to know when is the right time to step back and allow children to experience things on their own,"said one person in the survey.

In contrast,just four percent of today's adults said they were banned from sleeping-over when they were 15 or younger,only two percent were forbidden to use public transport,and the same number couldn't go out on their own in familiar surroundings,such as their local town or park.

“Stranger danger” is the number one worry for over half of all parents (54 percent),followed by bullying(欺侮)(47),mugging (46) and road danger (34).On average,children today can look forward to walking to school on their own by the age of 11,use public transport on their own at 12,and babysit their brother or sister by the time they're 14.

In contrast,parents say they were allowed to walk to school unaccompanied at the age of nine,use public transport alone by the time they were 11,and babysit a brother or sister by the time of their 12th birthday.

Parents know they are being tougher on their children and over a third said they felt uneasy that their kids do not get the same opportunities as they did to experience freedom as a youngster.

1Most parents have more control over their children because_______.

A. they love their children more than their parents did in the past

B. they are more protective than their parents were

C. they think the world is more dangerous than it was in the past

D. they think children don't need to experience things on their own

2According to the survey,children nowadays______.

A. pay more attention to their safety

B. have less freedom than their parents' generation

C. grow up in a better environment

D. have no ability to ensure their own safety

3What would be the best title of the passage?

A. Kids want the same freedom as their parents.

B. When can children have their freedom?

C. Why are children not allowed to sleep-over.

D. Fearful British parents keep kids closer than ever.

【题目】Most people learn over time, but often learning comes too late to be fully useful. There are certainly many things that could have saved me from many of the mistakes and hurts I suffered over the years.1. I hope they may help a few of you avoid the mistakes that I made back then.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项
A blocked airway(呼吸道) can kill someone in three to four minutes, but it can take more than eight minutes for an ambulance to arrive. So a simple procedure such as opening someone's airway can save their life while they're waiting for emergency medical help. This means you're more likely to give first aid to someone you know than a stranger.
There are many misconceptions (误解) surrounding first aid. Below are the ‘most popular' ones with details of what you should do.
You should put butter or cream on a burn. The only thing you should put on a burn is cold water — keep the butter for cooking. Put the affected area under cold running water for at least ten minutes.
The best way to treat bleeding is to put the wound under a tap. If you put a bleeding wound under a tap you wash away the body's clotting agents(凝血剂) and make it bleed more. Instead put pressure on the wound with whatever is available to stop or slow down the flow of blood. As soon as possible call 999. Keep pressure on the wound until help arrives.
Nosebleeds are best treated by putting the head back. If you put the head back during a nosebleed, all the blood goes down the back of the airway. Instead advise them to tilt(倾斜) their head forwards and ask the person to pinch(捏) the end of their nose and breathe through their mouth.
You need lots of training to do first aid. You don't — what you mostly need is common sense. You can learn enough first aid in a few minutes to save someone's life — whether it's from a book, attending a course or watching videos online.
Remember: anyone can save a life
(1)The most important point to save a person's life is to ensure ______.
A.his smooth breath
B.ambulances' arriving time
C.the quiet surroundings
D.emergency medical help
(2)If a person is burnt, what you should do immediately is to ______.
A.put some cream on the burn area
B.cook some butter for the burn
C.place the burn under cold running water
D.wash the affected area for a long time
(3)If a bleeding wound is put under a tap, what should happen?
A.It will help the bleeding stop at once.
B.It will help produce more clotting agents.
C.It will produce more pressure on the wound.
D.It will bleed more and hard to stop.
(4)The passage mainly tells us ______.
A.how to learn first aid by yourself
B.some misunderstanding about first aid
C.the importance of first aid
D.how to help medical team save a life
