Izzy, nine years old, saved her father's life after he suffered a serious allergic reaction(過(guò)敏反應(yīng)). She restarted his father’s heart by kicking him in the chest(胸) after he fell down at home and stopped breathing.

Izzy's mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father, so decided to use CPR(心臟復(fù)蘇術(shù)).

However, she quickly discovered her arms weren't strong enough, so she stamped on her father's chest. Debbie then did some more chest compressions(按壓) until the doctor arrived .

Izzy, who has got a bravery award by her school, said, “I just kicked him really hard. My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn't strong enough to use hands. I was quite scared. The doctor said I might be a doctor or a nurse. My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his chest.”

"She's a little star," said Debbie, "I was upset but Izzy really helped. I just can’t believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid. Izzy did CPR then the doctor came. Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and we've got to see an expert."

Truck driver Colm, 35, suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital, but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day. The second attack was so serious that it almost prevented him from breathing, his blood pressure dropped suddenly, and his heart stopped for a moment.

He has now made a full recovery(痊愈) from his suffering.

As traditional Chinese art, paper cutting has a long history. The first and earliest

paper cutting was found in China 1,500 years ago. But this traditional art is at risk of d 1. now. Luckily, Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant(移民) in America, is trying to bring this art b 2. to life.

One Saturday in 2014, Ms Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping centre near Washington. She got much fun and peace doing it. She hoped more people would e 3. it.

Ms Woo began to study the art of paper cutting as a 14-year-old girl in h 4. hometown in China. She said all the students at school had to learn paper cutting. But she had a d 5. love for it. So her teacher spent more time teaching her after class. Later, she won the second prize in a national art c 6. . Ms Woo went to America after she finished college in 2008. Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote(宣傳) Chinese paper cutting. And then she was i 7. to show the art in many important activities. “It is important to promote this art to Americans or a 8. who is interested in it. Maybe it will make this art more p 9. .” Woo said.

閱讀理解。

During my first two weeks at the University of California , Berkeley , I experienced some unexpected , funny , and sometimes embarrassing(令人尷尬的) situations . Allow me to share some with you .

But first , let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States . Check the weather before coming ! I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris . It was a huge mistake ! It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley .

I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events . Life in Berkeley is very pleasant and everything is so easy compared to Paris . For example , in only 24 hours I bought a mobile phone and made the lease(租約) agreement for a flat . What’s more , almost all the shops are open on Sunday , which is very practical for me .

The first thing that surprised me is that students may come late to class . They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class , In France , students respect the teacher’s lesson , so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class .

The local people in California are in general very nice , open and active , However , I am not totally used to their habits yet . Indeed , I was used to shaking my friends’ hands every day in France . During my second day at Berkeley , I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me “I think we already met !”

Another funny story happened during the first party I attended : A girl that I meet before came to hug me . I thought she wanted to kiss me like we usually do in France to say hello . So I kissed her and she seemed a little bit embarrassed .

I live a great experience at present , and I would just encourage any student to become a member in a program at UC , Berkeley .

1.According to the writer’s advice , before students study in America , they should .

A. make a lease agreement for a flat

B. leave their warm clothes at home

C. pay attention to the local weather

D. prepare a phone as early as possible

2.When the writer’s classmate said “I think we already met !” , he meant .

A. he and the write had known each other in France

B. Americans needn’t shake hands when they met again

C. he was not used to shaking hands with others

D. the write had forgotten about their last meeting

3. What does the writer mainly want to tell us ?

A. His experience at UC , Berkeley .

B. The relationship between classmates .

C. His advice on studying abroad .

D. The difference in attending a class .
