A schoolgirl saved her father’s life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic(過敏的) reaction(反應) which stopped his heart .

Izzy , nine ,restarted father Colm’s heart by stamping(踩)on his chest 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 .

However, she quickly discovered her arms weren’t strong enough, so she stamped on her father’s chest instead.

Izzy, who has been given 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 as well 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 really upset but Izzy just took over . I just can’t believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid.

You can do it!

That’s a better way to motivate (激發(fā)) yourself than saying “I can do it, ” according to a new study that shows giving yourself advice and encouragement in the second-person before an upcoming task may actually improve your performance more than first-person self-talk.

“People are used to receiving and giving advice in the second-person, and they seem to prefer using the second-person pronoun to encourage themselves,” says study co-author, Dr. Sanda Dolcos, a researcher at the University of Illinois. “Self-advice expressed using ‘You’ probably enables people to have a broader perspective(觀點), consider how others might view the event, and reproduce the kind of encouragements previously received from others.”

For the study, Dr. Dolcos and her colleague, Dr. Dolores, asked 143 undergraduate students to write down advice to themselves before completing a series of puzzles. Half of the students were asked to use the first-person, while the others wrote in the second-person.

What did the researchers find? The students who wrote in the second-person managed to complete more puzzles and appeared to have a more positive attitude.

The researchers also asked the students to write down advice to themselves in relation to exercising more often in the next two weeks. Those who wrote in the second-person, again, reported a more positive attitude toward the task and even planned to do more exercise than the students who referred to themselves in the first-person.

“We were not surprised and had previous research showing that people spontaneously use ‘You’ in situations that require high levels of self-control and action,” Dolcos said.

But why did the researchers ask students to write down their self-talk instead of saying it out loud? “ Writing as a tool of conversing with oneself has long been used as a therapeutical（治療的）approach,” Dolcos explained. “However, further research is needed to determine which form of self-advice, written or spoken, is more beneficial.”

1. What did the researchers find?

A. Giving oneself advice and encouragement is very useful.

B. It is more encouraging to talk to oneself using the second-person.

C. First-person self-talk will not improve your performance.

D. A good way to motivate yourself is saying “I can do it”.

2.How did the students perform in the experiment?

A. The ones who wrote in the first-person had a better attitude.

B. The ones who talked to themselves completed the most puzzles.

C. The ones who encouraged themselves by writing in the second-person were better.

D. The ones who encouraged themselves in the first-person were more positive than others.

3. What does the underlined word “spontaneously” probably mean?

A. Against one’s will.

B. For one’s own interest.

C. On one’s own initiative (自發(fā)的).

D. Out of other peoples’ feelings.

4. What may the last two paragraphs imply?

A. Writing is a good style of conversation for oneself.

B. Writing can cure many diseases, and it has been proven by experts.

C. Whether written self-advice is better still needs to be tested.

D. Doctors prefer their patients to say things out loud when having problems.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015-2016學年山西陽高縣第一中學高一下期末英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Love, success, happiness, family and freedom—how important are these values to you? Here is one interview which explores the fundamental(基本的) questions in life.

Q: Could you introduce yourself first?

A: My name is Misbah,27 years old. I was born in a war-torn(戰(zhàn)爭毀掉的) area. Right now I’m a web designer.

Q: What are your great memories?

A: My parents used to take me to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday, because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories.

Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you?

A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent.

Q: What changes would you like to make in your life?

A: If I could change something in my life, I’d change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn’t matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.

Q: How do you get along with your parents?

A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I’ve got. That’s our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters(過濾) out your emotion and leaves your voice only.
