Government statistics recently revealed that in the UK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their home. A smaller number are electrocuted(触电死亡) after   41   with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a person’s heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid   42  to deal with such emergencies.

What to do?

If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, don’t touch him or her!

If they are still holding the appliance that has given them the shock,   43   it or turn off the power at its source. Under no circumstances should you try to move the   44   with your hand!

If you can’t turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to   45   the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.

The victim must remain lying down. If they are unconscious, victims should be placed on their side. But they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spin injuries unless it is   46   necessary.

It is necessary to maintain the victim’s body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing,   47   mouth-to-mouth way. Keep the victim’s head low until   48   help arrives.

If the electric shock has been caused by a(n)   49   power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.

  On this day I learned the true lesson of        and witnessed the only        I had ever seen . I was in the kitchen when I saw my son, Billy,        toward the woods. He was walking with effort, trying to be as        as possible . Minutes after he        into the woods, he came running back . I went back to make sandwiches ,        that whatever he had been doing was completed. Moments later,        , he was once again walking slowly toward the woods.

  Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them . I almost        for him to get away . A huge deer was        close .        the deer didn’t even move as Billy knelt down. I saw a tiny deer lying on the ground , obviously suffering from        , lift its head to lap up the water cupped in Billy’s hands. When the water was        , Billy ran back to get more . It then became        to me.

  I stood on the edge of the woods, watching the        boy working so hard to save another life. As my tears began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops.

On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin．Many people put some money into the   1   of the young man．

The next day, the young artist came again, and put his hat on the ground gracefully． 2  from the day before, he took out a large piece of   3   and laid it on the ground．Then he began  4 ．

Before long, the young violinist was  5  with people, who were all attracted by the   6  on that paper, which said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put something important into my hat  7  ．Please come to claim（认领） it soon．"

After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and  8  through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it’s you．You did come here．I knew that you’ re an honest man and would   9   come here．"

"Are you Mr. George Sang?"

The man nodded．

"Did you   10  something?"

"Lottery （彩票）． It’s lottery," said the man．

The violinist   11   a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen．"Is it？" he asked．

George nodded, seized the lottery ticket and   12   it; then he danced with joy．

George bought a lottery ticket which   13   him a prize of $ 500,000．He was so happy after work and felt the violinist playing so wonderfully that he put 50 dollars in the hat．  14   , the lottery ticket was also thrown in．

When asked why he didn’t keep the lottery ticket   15   himself, the violinist said,"  16   I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever．"

We can gain and lose so much in our life．But being honest should   17   be with us．If we bear ourselves in a dishonest way, we  18  succeed temporarily（暂时）．However, from the long-term view, we’11 be a loser．Such a person is just like the   19   on the mountain．It’s high above at first, but gradually it falls and loses the  20  of going up．

In a class I teach for adults, I recently did the “unpardonable.” I gave the class homework!

The assignment (任务) was to “go to someone you love 　36 the next week and tell them you love them. It 　37 to be someone you have never 　38 those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.” That doesn’t 　39 like a very tough assignment, 　40 you stop to realize that most of the men were over 35 and were 　41 in the generation of men that were taught that expressing emotions is not “macho (男子汉气概的).” Showing feelings or crying (heaven forbid!) was just not done 　42 this was a very threatening assignment for some.

At the 　43 of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to 　44 what happened when they told someone they loved them. I fully expected one of the 　45 to volunteer, as was usually the 　46 , but on this evening one of the men raised his hand. He appeared quite moved and a bit 　47 . As he unfolded out of his chair, he began by saying, “Dennis. I was quite 　48 with you last week when you gave us the assignment. I didn’t feel that I had 　49 to say those words to and 　50 , who were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my conscience (良知) started talking to me. It was telling me that I 　51 exactly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a heated 　52 and really never resolved it since that one. We 　53 seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But 　54 then, we hardly spoke to each other. So last. Tuesday 　55 I got home, I had convinced myself. I was going to tell my father I loved him.”
