A schoolgirl saved her father's life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic (過敏的) reaction 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 .

Debbie then took over with some more conventional chest compressions (按壓) until the ambulance arrived .

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. Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up. 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 his airway swelled, preventing him from breathing, his blood pressure dropped suddenly, and his heart stopped for a moment.

He has now made a full recovery from his suffering.

1.Izzy kicked her father in the chest ______ .

A. to express her helplessness B. to practise CPR on him

Ways to save time

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

1.But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

★Get Out of Bed Earlier.

If you normally get up at 7:30 a.m. try getting up at 7:00 a.m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish.2.

★Do the Important Tasks First.

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). 3.If you work like this, you’ll usually save time. The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

★Reduce Interruptions.

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter.4.

★5.

A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.

A. Stay Focused on Your Work.

B. Take Breaks When Necessary.

C. Would you want me to make your day longer?

D. I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.

E. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

F. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

G. You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.
