【题目】阅读理解
Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humor. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.
One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he'd better not go there. Mark Twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. The mosquitoes are not relatives of mine. I don't think they will come to visit me."
After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town." One of them said to him.
Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, "The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didn't come into the wrong room." What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.

【题目】Basic first aid is a very valuable skill to have when going on a camping trip. 1

Cuts. With small cuts, you want to be careful to keep the area of the wound clean to avoid possible infection. 2 If the cut has not stopped bleeding, raise the wounded area above the heart and place pressure on the area to stop the bleeding. 3 The bandage should be held in place with tape, but should not be too tight.

Blisters. Blisters can turn a fun walk in the woods into a terrible experience. 4Change your bandage and socks and keep the blistered area clean. Make sure that you pack different size bandages and first aid cream.

Sprains. If you’ve got a heavy pack on your shoulders, it can be very easy to twist your ankles. Walking sticks can be a traveler’s friend. 5A good ACE bandage should be packed in case of a sprained ankle. This can help fix the sprained area until you can get medical attention.

After seeing the above dangers and treatments, it’s also helpful to pack a small basic first aid kit for your trip. Make sure that you include items that are unique to you and fit your environment (bleeding, bruise, snake bite, etc.).

A. Cover the wound with a dry, clean bandage.

B. Wear comfortable shoes and socks during the trips.

C. They can help you keep balance on rough areas.

D. Treat the cut with first aid cream to prevent infection.
